2026 Blueprints Chapter Iii｜environment

V.GALLERIA 2026 — BLUEPRINTS｜ENVIRONMENT We present GIA LIANG and CHIANG TSO-YU, exploring life, nature, the body, and interspecies perspectives. From preserved life to traces left by life, their works offer distinct yet resonant ways of seeing. About ⦿ 2026 ANNUAL THEME — BLUEPRINTS BLUEPRINTS begins with the idea of the unfinished. Annual Curatorial Project What you see is not an exhibition. What you experience is the blueprint. An annual curatorial project about the “unfinished.” It does not present a finished result, but leaves a structure for life, time, and participation to gradually take shape. If life is a blueprint, how do we shape it slowly through use, feeling, and time? ⦿ CHAPTER III — ENVIRONMENT Environment is not a backdrop. It is a relationship. 09.19 — 11.19.2026 From “Maison” to “Mesh,” Chapter III extends our gaze toward the “Environment” we share. Birds pass through, plants grow, microorganisms leave their traces. Scale, movement, and light quietly shape the ways we see and experience the world. The environment is never merely a backdrop. It is constantly speaking to us— if only we are willing to pause and listen. ⦿ ARTISTS ↣ GIA LIANG｜梁晏齊 Gia Liang’s practice centers on the concept of Time. Through taxidermy, she preserves forms and memories after life has ended, transforming fleeting, fragile, and irreversible moments into forms that can be observed, collected, and reconsidered. By bringing taxidermy into contemporary art, she explores nature, memory, fragility, and existence through the act of preservation. Gia Liang received an MA in Contemporary Design from Sotheby’s Institute of Art, London, and a BA in Jewellery Design from Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London. She founded IOT Art & Design Studio in 2017 and previously worked at the Department of Antiquities, National Palace Museum, Taipei. Her exhibitions include Lacrimae Rerum, Sur-Realm, The Observers, and Habitat Patch. She has received support from the Ministry of Culture and the National Culture and Arts Foundation. ↣ CHIANG, TSO-YU｜江卓豫 CHIANG, TSO-YU’s practice explores the relationship between the body, consciousness, and the world. Through performance and interdisciplinary experimentation, he examines the boundaries between self and environment, and how life leaves traces over time through petri dishes, video, and performance. CHIANG, TSO-YU graduated from the Graduate Institute of New Media Art, Taipei National University of the Arts. He received the 2019 Outstanding New Media Art Award and 2023 Taoyuan Fine Arts Exhibition Annual Special Award.
