Wishing a very happy birthday to @claudiakeep today 🦋 Claudia's upcoming solo exhibition ‘Waggle Dance’ opens this Sunday, 26 April, marking her return to Château La Coste (@chateaulacoste ) following her participation in the group exhibition there in 2024. Conceived as records of an ever-changing world, the paintings in ‘Waggle Dance’ carry an acute awareness of the fragile timelines facing many species today. Her depictions of bees, flowers, and insects capture the luminous beauty of the present, while their delicate nature points toward deeper ecological questions.

The Asia Pacific Society for Consortium Museum, co-chaired by Marguo co-founder Vanessa Guo @vanguo and museum co-director Seungduk Kim @sdkim1209 , is proud to support the upcoming two-part international survey of Japanese artist Shigeo Otake @shigeootake — beginning with Chapter I, ‘Nel mezzo del cammin,’ opening 4 May 2026 during the inaugural week of the 61st Venice Biennale. Presented in the seventeenth-century Palazzo Zon from 4 May to 28 June 2026, the first chapter represents the "Open Path" of Otake's artistic maturity — featuring oil and tempera compositions spanning the past thirty years, curated by Consortium Museum directors Franck Gautherot @franckgautherot and Seungduk Kim. Through these works, Otake builds a world where hybrid creatures, fungal forms, and proliferating organic life converge, evoking the symbolic density of Trecento and Quattrocento painting while opening onto imagery altogether more uncanny. The survey continues with 'Chapter II, ‘Per una selva oscura,’ opening July 2026 at the Consortium Museum in Dijon, France as a central component of the museum’s “Almanach 26” biennial — delving into the "Dense Forest" of Otake's foundational origins through historical paintings, drawings, and preparatory works from the 1970s to 1990s. Founded in 2024, APS4CM formalises the Consortium Museum's long-standing commitment to bridging East and West. Following its inaugural programming with Xie Fan, Chen Fei, and Korakrit Arunanondchai, the Shigeo Otake survey marks APS4CM's most ambitious project to date. — Shigeo Otake: Nel mezzo del cammin 4 May – 28 June 2026 Palazzo Zon, Calle Zon 6512, Venezia Vernissage: Monday 4 May, 5 – 7:30pm Open Hours: Wed – Sun, 11am – 7pm — Pictured: 1.

餘光：謝帆與丹尼斯．米蘭達．薩莫拉諾雙人展 2026.05.23 — 07.18 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 05.23 Saturday 4—7 PM TAO ART presents 𝘓𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴, a duo exhibition featuring Chinese artist Xie Fan and Mexican artist Dennis Miranda Zamorano, in collaboration with Marguo (@marguo__ ), opening next Saturday. “This marks TAO ART’s first dual exhibition. Compared to previous projects, it involves a more complex process of collaboration across Taipei, Paris, Chendu, and Mexico City, requiring significantly more time, research, and dialogue to bring it together. We are honored to invite Fan and Dennis to take part in this project, which I’ve long wanted to explore. The exchange between different cultures and creative approaches has always been at the heart of TAO ART. While their works may seem quite different at first glance, we discovered unexpected connections and shared sensibilities between them.” — Vicky Chen, Founder of TAO ART “𝘓𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴 began with a simple observation: that Xie Fan and Dennis Miranda Zamorano, despite everything that separates them, are both trying to hold something luminous still. It helps, perhaps, that both come from fiery places — Sichuan and Mexico share an intensity that runs through culture, landscape, and the senses alike. One channels it into patience and earth; the other into urgency and chance. Taipei understands both. We bring this exhibition here because it belongs here.” — Vanessa Guo, Co-founder & partner of Marguo TAO ART 與巴黎瑪戈畫廊 (@marguo__ ) 攜手合作，推出中國藝術家謝帆與墨西哥藝術家丹尼斯・米蘭達・薩莫拉諾的雙人展《餘光 Light Remains》，將於下週六開幕。 「TAO ART 首次製作雙人展。相較以往，這次計畫涉及更為複雜的跨國合作，橫跨台北、巴黎、成都到墨西哥城，因此在研究、討論與整體規劃上，都投入了更多心力，才得以與大家一同完成。我很開心謝帆與 Dennis 參與這項我一直想嘗試的挑戰。不同文化與創作形式之間的交流與火花一直是我們經營空間所關注的核心，而在這兩位看似風格迥異的藝術家之間，我們也發現了許多有趣的線索與共鳴。」— Vicky Chen (TAO ART Founder) 「『餘光』這個展覽的起點來自一個簡單的觀察：儘管謝帆與丹尼斯．米蘭達．薩莫拉諾之間存在諸多差異，卻都試圖將某種光亮凝止於當下。或許正因兩人皆來自嗜辛之地——四川與墨西哥，共享著貫穿文化、地景與感官經驗的強烈能量。一位將這種能量轉化為耐心與大地的質感，另一位則化為迫切的表達與偶然的力量。台北理解這兩種狀態，我們帶來這個展覽，因為它本該在這裡。」— Vanessa Guo (Co-founder & partner of Marguo) ● #XieFan #謝帆

Trading the city for the coast — Casa Marguo is delighted to welcome Ziping Wang (@ping0_o ) as our artist-in-residence for the 2026 summer season. For her residency, Ziping will deepen a watercolour series first presented at Château La Coste last year. Working through an instinctive process, the works invite the unpredictable interplay of water, pigment, and paper, allowing the medium its own momentum. Responding to Menorca’s coastal landscapes, wild vegetation, and atmospheric light, the residency offers Wang a space to follow that language wherever the island leads. An open studio weekend will take place near the close of her residency. Details to follow. Pictured: 1. Ziping Wang, ‘Seascape mountain,’ 2025, Watercolor and ink on paper 130 x 100 cm (51 ⅛ x 39 ⅜ in) 2. Ziping Wang, ‘Wild Hunter,’ 2025, Watercolor on canvas, 41.8 x 51.8 cm ( 16 ½ x 20 ⅜ in) framed 3.

Now Open at Château La Coste 🦋 Claudia Keep: Waggle Dance Through 21 June 2026 Galerie Richard Rogers, Château La Coste, France ‘Waggle Dance’ marks @claudiakeep return to Château La Coste with a poignant, new body of work. Conceived as records of an ever-changing world, the paintings in ‘Waggle Dance’ are imbued with an acute awareness of the fragile timelines facing many species today. For the exhibition, the artist writes: My paintings are a record of a changing world, painted with an acute sense of time and of time running out for many species. As temperatures rise, and meteorological patterns shift, it is in the natural world where first these changes are evidenced. Small at first, a flower blooming several weeks earlier than usual or a few more inches of rain a season, these changes may not quickly register on our scale, amidst the blur of what human life has become––bent as it is away from the sun and towards the blue glow of screens––but as the proverbial flap of a butterfly’s wing, these small changes carry the gravest import for life on our planet.

OPENING TOMORROW at Château La Coste 🐝 Claudia Keep: Waggle Dance 26 April – 21 June 2026 Galerie Richard Rogers, Château La Coste, France Vernissage: Sunday 26 April, 4pm ‘Waggle Dance’ marks @claudiakeep ’s first solo exhibition at Château La Coste, following her inclusion in their group show ‘Une Chambre à Soi’ in 2024. For the exhibition, the artist writes: The movements and form of the honey bee’s “waggle dance” demonstrates a remarkably resonant desire to share and communicate through an expressive medium. Honey bees use a “dance” in a figure eight formation to communicate to their hive what they have seen in the outside world; the location of resources, the distance of resources from the hive, or the presence of danger. These variable environmental factors are communicated by different dance movements; an especially rich food source will be indicated by a more rapid wiggling motion, for example. These dances are not always exacting and bees have slightly different ways of dancing depending on how they learned the waggle dance. In these instances, the dance becomes more individual and impressionistic than scientific, reminding me of my own experience marking a surface with color to create a signifying image. Pictured: 1-2.

Last chance to see @xiexiexiefan in Hong Kong 🌙 Xie Fan: In Between 謝帆：之間 Through 29 April 2026 Maison Ming, 4 School Street, Tai Hang, Hong Kong Within the historic architecture of a traditional Tai Hang shophouse in Hong Kong, the very name of Maison Ming serves as a compass. ‘Ming’ or 明 in Chinese—formed by the union of the sun (日) and the moon (月)—becomes the conceptual starting point of Xie Fan’s (@xiexiexiefan ) exhibition. The works unfold around four thematic constellations—Sun, Moon, Flame, and Sea—tracing the cyclical movement of the sun and the moon. Here, light is no longer a static backdrop, but a shifting condition: moving through the textures of the old building, receding and quietly returning, mirroring the passage of time within the narrow and vertical volumes of the space. The exhibition is on view by appointment through Wednesday 29 April. DM for contact details. Pictured: Exhibition installation views. Photo @commonstudio .

@claudiakeep opening soon at Château La Coste 🐝 Claudia Keep: Waggle Dance 26 April – 21 June 2026 Galerie Richard Rogers, Château La Coste Vernissage: Sunday 26 April, 11am Following her participation in the group exhibition Une Chambre à soi’ in 2024, Claudia Keep returns to Château La Coste with a poignant, new body of work. Drawing inspiration from the honeybee’s "waggle dance"—the rhythmic figure-eight movement used to share vital discoveries with the hive—Keep’s latest works portray insects at a larger-than-life scale. These are not merely scientific observations, but profound acts of witnessing: a visual tribute to the fragile balance that sustains our natural world. Pictured: 1.

From the Moon to Maison Ming 🌙 Xie Fan’s (@xiexiexiefan ) latest exhibition ‘In Between’, organised in collaboration with Maison Ming (@maisonming ), offers a site-specific meditation on the nature of light, materiality, and urban rhythm of Hong Kong. Unfolding around four thematic constellations — Sun, Moon, Flame, and Sea — ‘In Between’ traces the cyclical movement of the sun and the moon. Here, the artists’ iconic ‘Celestial Signs’ series — an ancient code suspended overhead, recalls the stars that have long functioned as humanity’s earliest clocks. Within this rhythm, the Moon appears not as a source of light, but as a mediator and echo of the Sun — a trace left behind as light withdraws, the very shadow of time. The exhibition is on view by appointment through 29 April 2026. DM for contact details.

In process to @taoartspace 🇹🇼 Taiwan Day by day the paintings are so different, they open and close, landscapes that widen, darken, shine, live... they share with us their rhythm, their atmosphere, their calm and their noise, it is our space, we build it daily with insistence and will, always generous with ourselves, to appease the busy chaos that surrounds us. . . Beautiful film and editing of @americavaldess .

NOW OPEN IN HONG KONG ☀️ Come explore ‘In Between,’ a solo exhibition by artist Xie Fan (@xiexiexiefan ) organised in collaboration with Maison Ming (@maisonming ), unfolding within a historic shophouse in Hong Kong’s Tai Hang neighbourhood. Reflecting on the exhibition’s resonance within the heritage site, Alexis Dupont, founder of Maison Ming notes: "Xie Fan’s work at Maison Ming feels like a quiet conjuring of place—where light, matter, and time fold together. A faint seam, an in-between whisper lets shifting shadows dance, evoking stories that rise and fall. In the cracks and traces you can sense what has changed and what remains."
