I'm in a group show in Shanghai at the @rockbundartmuseum ! This work is from my first show with @nageldraxler from 2015 LA:FURN The Great Camouflage November 6 2025 - April 26 2026 Co-curated by X Zhu-Nowell and Kandis Williams, the group exhibition focuses on contemporary artistic practices emerging from the remnants of revolutionary movements. Bringing together works by 16 artists/ collectives across video, painting, theater, textiles, and archival research, it explores the material and aesthetic circulation of transnational Black radical thoughts and how revolutionary gestures regenerate within the fragments of history. @bozmorningstar @newgenderwhodis #renéegreen @haojingban @hao__liang @memoriesofabiglife @euridicezaitunakala @ernatmack @tuan.andrew.nguyen #PopeL @cauleen_smith @christinetwang @buddhathugtuo @charlottezhuojiazhang @cassandra_press @theater44 @xzhunowell @kandis_williams

Wow! Frieze Seoul is starting nowish... Thanks @ptt_space , thanks @not_morgan_corbitt , thanks @frieze.seoul thanks @alfonse.chiu sorry I can't be there but I'm there in spirit.. I went to Seoul last year; what a beautiful city! Repost from @ptt_space : PTT Space很榮幸向大家宣布,即將在Frieze Seoul 2025呈現全新個展「王恬:幣亂情迷」Christine Tien Wang: BDSM (Bitcoin Daddies Seek Memes) ! 臺裔女性藝術家王恬(Christine Tien Wang)是一位敏銳的觀察者,她擅長運用當代最普及且短暫的符號——「迷因」(memes),探索全球化時代下的數位文化、投機經濟、身份認同等多元主題。 身為在美國成長的臺裔移民,王恬的創作植根於雙重文化背景。無論是傳統亞洲價值觀與西方社會的衝突,或離散家庭育兒的緊張關係,其獨特視角為理解當代社會提供寶貴洞見,使其作品在全球藝壇中脫穎而出。 本次展覽將呈現王恬一系列近期畫作,延續她一貫的諷刺與幽默風格,批判晚期資本主義與全球經濟的混亂,同時也讚頌其中蘊含的旺盛活力。期待在九月份的首爾現場,與您一同體驗藝術家王恬的精彩創作! PTT Space is honored to announce its solo exhibition for Frieze Seoul 2025: Christine Tien Wang: BDSM (Bitcoin Daddies Seek Memes)! Taiwanese-American artist Christine Tien Wang is a keen observer who uses memes—the most widespread and fleeting symbols of our time—to explore diverse themes such as digital culture, speculative economics, and identity in an era of globalization. Growing up as a Taiwanese-American immigrant, Wang's work is rooted in her dual cultural background. Her unique perspective offers invaluable insights into contemporary society by addressing the conflict between traditional Asian values and Western culture, as well as the tensions of diaspora family life. This distinct approach makes her work stand out in the global art world. The exhibition will feature a series of Wang’s recent paintings, which continue her signature satirical and humorous style. She critiques the chaos of late-stage capitalism and the global economy, the struggles of Asian values, while also celebrating the vibrant energy found within them. We look forward to seeing you in Seoul this September to experience Christine Tien Wang’s extraordinary work! /展覽資訊 Info./ Frieze Seoul 2025 展區 Sector|Focus Asia 展位 Booth|F05 藝術家|王恬 Christine Tien Wang 策展人|邱上源 Alfonse Chiu 展會日期 Duration|2025/09/03-06 展會地點 Venue|韓國首爾 COEX Convention & Exhibition Center 513 Yeongdong-daero, Gangnam District, Seoul, South Korea #friezeseoul #focusasia #PTTSPACE #王恬 #ChristineTienWang

“Titanic Stussy” oil painting by Christine Wang as shown at the Independent Art Fair New York (2023). Christine virtuosically translates memes and other popular internet imagery onto her canvases, her pixelated compositions evoking impressionist masterpieces @christinetwang @nightgallery #thesthing

@christinetwang ’s paintings use humor to critique the capitalist structures that hold our society hostage. Unafraid of puns, jokes, and reusing memes found online, her work in “Bay Area Now 9”  addresses the intersections of gender performance, motherhood, and complex post-traumatic stress disorder as they exist under late-stage capitalism. On Sunday, April 14, hear more from Wang during “Christine’s Schedule C” where she’ll show more than a decade of filing taxes as a self-employed artist and point to the complexities, confusions, and contradictions of the whole process.

Is this real? I am so happy! two person show with @ken__lum at @nageldraxler in Berlin! Thanks Isabelle Erben for the photos and @not_morgan_corbitt for all the help! xoxo from the beautiful press release written by @denise_kokko : On another painted family photo one can read “Laughing one moment, crying the next, the yellow dog is peeing”. This proverb was often used by Wang's uncle to describe the inconsistency of children's emotions: the tears of children are as insignificant as a dog's urine. Apart from the personal meaning of the image, the children represent a social group whose “tears” are also often considered insignificant. - Denise Kokko 😭 thank you!! 🙏
