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

Upcoming: Xie Fan and Dennis Miranda Zamorano 謝帆與丹尼斯．米蘭達．薩莫拉諾 2026.05.23 — 07.18 We are pleased to present 𝘓𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴, a duo exhibition of new works by Chinese artist Xie Fan (@xiexiexiefan ) and Mexican artist Dennis Miranda Zamorano (@dennis_mirandaa ), in collaboration with Galerie Marguo (@marguo__ ), opening on 23 May. Xie Fan’s 𝘊𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘴 (2026) is a series of terracotta works inspired by early forms of painting on pottery vessels, tracing the movements of sun and moon, and our relationship to the universe. Dennis Miranda Zamorano’s imaginative landscapes are suffused with colour and light, drawing the viewer in through their depth and immensity of feeling. From distinct positions, both artists approach painting as language and practice, unfolding across multiple dimensions between perception and materiality. Their works converge in a shared impulse: to hold what light reveals, and let the image take shape in its organic form. Zamorano has said that both he and Xie understand the importance of “trusting the material to speak.” Within this dialogue, we glimpse inner worlds of perception manifested through painting, where remnants of light linger long after the encounter. TAO ART 很榮幸再度與巴黎瑪戈畫廊 (@marguo__ ) 合作，呈現中國藝術家謝帆 (@xiexiexiefan ) 與墨西哥藝術家丹尼斯．米蘭達．薩莫拉諾 (@dennis_mirandaa ) 的雙人展《餘光》，將於5月23日開幕。 謝帆的〈天象〉(2026) 系列陶板繪畫，以古代陶器這種久遠的繪畫形式為靈感取材，描繪日月運行之軌跡，指向我們與宇宙之間的關係。丹尼斯．米蘭達．薩莫拉諾的新作則展現出光影與色彩交織的想像風景，以其深度與情感張力，讓觀者沉浸其中。從各自的感知經驗與媒材出發，兩位藝術家的作品皆訴說著某種衝動，試圖捕捉光所觸及之事物，並讓圖像在有機的狀態中生成。 丹尼斯曾說，他與謝帆的共鳴來自兩人都理解「信任材料自身的表達」之重要。透過兩名藝術家的創作交流，我們得以窺見透過繪畫顯現的內在感知世界；那是相遇之後，光仍長久停留之處。 ● #XieFan #DennisMirandaZamorano

While referencing the aesthetics of old Hollywood, a physical, almost slapstick narrative takes shape; the vulnerabilities of the human body and the eccentricities of costume become comedic and charming. Cecily, the protagonist  in a pink dress (portrayed by Katherine Waterston), appears to be the only conscious witness and draws us into her emotional experience with her performance, anchoring the spectacle in a fragile moment of recognition where the impact of the film’s tragic dimension is finally felt. As 𝘙𝘶𝘯 (2022) oscillates between tragedy and comedy and destabilizes any fixed narrative or emotional response, the mirrored ball reveals an uncanny reality beyond ordinary perception. Its eerie presence communicates with the audience as through a dream.  The exhibition also includes the image 𝘚𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱 (2022), an image shot in tandem with the film 𝘙𝘶𝘯 (2022). In fact, the composition depicts a carefully staged moment—an absurdist scene, potent in its ambivalence. Actors from the film lie scattered on the ground, and the ambiguity of what may have just occurred transforms the image. Here, the tension between moving and still image formats comes into focus, prompting questions about how we perceive, imagine, and remember. （內文請見留言）

The work of Los Angeles-based artist and filmmaker Alex Prager (@alexprager ) is often as visually stunning as it is unsettling. She masterfully stages moments of subtle tension, produced through exaggerated, performative surfaces that push stylisation into something faintly grotesque. If Hollywood functions as a dream machine that channels shared fantasies, it also reveals our desire for illusion to cope with the violence of lived reality. In 𝘌𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦, Prager’s signature visual language holds this tension in suspension, never allowing one to resolve the other. 洛杉磯藝術家暨電影導演艾莉克斯．普拉格 (@alexprager ) 的作品，同時具有令人驚豔的視覺魅力，以及帶有隱約不安感的心理張力。她擅長透過巧妙的場面調度，打造出充滿細膩張力的瞬間，並以誇張而具有展演性的影像語言，營造出一種介於熟悉與陌生之間的奇異感受。如果說好萊塢是一部製造夢想的機器，承載並輸送著我們集體的幻想，那麼它其實也揭示出，我們之所以渴望幻覺，或許是為了抵抗現實生活中存在的暴力。「Echoes of Dissonance」這個展覽呈現了普拉格如何以其風格獨具的視覺語言，將這些始終未能完全化解的拉扯力量，維持於一種懸置狀態之中。 video produced by Meru Media Studio 芥質影音工作室 #AlexPrager #EchoesofDissonance #taoartspace ALEX PRAGER ECHOES OF DISSONANCE 2026.03.07—05.02 艾莉克斯．普拉格 Exhibition in collaboration with @lehmannmaupin

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 . En proceso a @taoartspace 🇹🇼 Taiwán Día a día las pinturas se muestras tan distintas, se abren y se cierran, paisajes que se ensanchan, se oscurecen, brillan, vive… comparten con nosotros su ritmo, su atmósfera, su calma y su ruido, es nuestro espacio, lo construimos diariamente con insistencia y voluntad, siempre generosos con nosotros mismos, para apaciguar el ajetreado caos que nos rodea. . .

With a hypersensitivity to the tension between artifice and reality, Alex Prager’s(@alexprager ) practice explores the possibilities inherent in subtle shifts of perception, as well as how mass imagery influences our sense of self and belonging. In photographs such as 𝘙𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘰 𝘔𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦 (𝘓𝘰𝘪𝘴) (2019), 𝘏𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘺𝘸𝘰𝘰𝘥 (𝘕𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵) (2024), and 𝘏𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘺𝘸𝘰𝘰𝘥 (𝘋𝘢𝘺) (2024), Prager stages psychologically-charged vignettes that foster a vague sense of familiarity while omitting narrative specifics. 

在〈蘭喬米拉 (露易絲)〉(2019) 以及較近期的攝影作品如〈好萊塢 (夜)〉(2024) 與〈好萊塢 (日)〉(2024) 中，普拉格 (@alexprager ) 持續營造心理張力強烈的情境。這些影像散發著一種模糊而熟悉的感受，卻刻意省略具體敘事，揭示出她對虛構與現實之間張力的高度敏銳，以及對感知游移所蘊含之多重可能性的持續探索。同時，這些作品也顯示出大眾文化影像如何深刻地形塑我們對自我與歸屬感的理解。 Imges

藝術家劉子瑜(@christinaliuceramics )過去於 TAO ART 空間呈現展覽《漸變》（2025），並持續在陶瓷創作中探索材質與形式語言的可能性。 此次於漢來日月行館(@grand_hilai_sun_moon_lake )，我們見證藝術家將創作延伸至建築空間之中，進一步拓展陶瓷在空間場域中的表現力。 於館內茶屋，藝術家量身打造陶瓷作品〈自游自在〉（2025），並分享其靈感源自象徵生命、豐盛與財富的魚群，以陶瓷構築出具流動感的牆面，呈現魚群在日月潭遼闊湖畔悠游的姿態。介於自然地景與抽象形式之間的視覺語彙，也在空間中回應觀者細膩的感知。 Building on the dialogue initiated in Christina Liu’s 2025 solo exhibition 𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 at TAO ART, the artist extends her ceramic practice into the architectural setting of Grand Hilai Sun Moon Lake. In her site-specific installation 𝘈𝘣𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘍𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘰𝘮(2025), Liu transforms the Tea House walls into a fluid, unfolding composition. Drawing inspiration from schools of fish—symbols of vitality and abundance—the work captures the graceful, rhythmic movement of fish along the expansive lakeside. Situated between natural landscape and abstract form, the installation invites viewers into a quiet, immersive experience, attuned to the subtle sensibilities of the space. #christinaliuceramics #漢來日月行館

TAO ART is delighted to present 𝘌𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦, an exhibition bringing together a selection of works by Los Angeles-based artist and filmmaker Alex Prager. This marks Prager’s first solo exhibition in Taiwan, presented in collaboration with Lehmann Maupin (@lehmannmaupin ), opening on March 7, 2026. This exhibition includes her recent short film 𝘙𝘶𝘯, featuring Katherine Waterston. Part catastrophe, part tragicomedy, the film transforms the urban landscape into a large-scale pinball machine, precisely choreographed and meticulously staged. Referencing the aesthetics of old Hollywood, a physical, almost slapstick narrative takes shape; the vulnerabilities of the human body and the eccentricities of costume become comedic and charming. Alex Prager’s work is often as visually stunning as it is unsettling, known for its masterfully staged moments of suspense and fabricated, stylised imagery. 𝘌𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 illuminates Prager’s hypersensitivity to the tension between artifice and reality, exploring the possibilities inherent in subtle shifts of perception. TAO ART 欣然呈現「Echoes of Dissonance」，展出洛杉磯藝術家暨電影導演艾莉克絲．普拉格 (@alexprager ) 的一系列精選作品。本展為普拉格於台灣的首次個展，與立木畫廊 (@lehmannmaupin ) 合作呈現，將於 2026 年 3 月 7 日開幕。 本次展覽亦展出她近期的短片作品《Run》，由凱薩琳．華特斯頓 (Katherine Waterston) 擔綱演出。在這部帶有災難元素、亦頗具黑色喜劇氣質的影片中，普拉格以經過精準編排與細緻調度的場面，將小鎮景觀轉化為一座巨型彈珠台。《Run》不僅挪用古典好萊塢電影的視覺美學，也透過近乎鬧劇式的肢體語言，使人類身體的脆弱性與誇張怪誕的服裝造型顯得既滑稽又迷人。 艾莉克絲．普拉格的作品同時具有令人驚豔的視覺魅力與不安的心理張力。她擅長以巧妙的場面調度製造出扣人心弦的瞬間，建構出風格強烈而精巧打造的視覺語言。「Echoes of Dissonance」揭示了她對虛構與現實之間張力的高度敏銳，以及她對感知游移所蘊含之多重可能性的持續探索。
