Pavilion /New Taipei City Art Museum /Taipei /Sep 9, 2025 – Jan 4, 2026 / György Ligeti’s Lux Aeterna, a piece for 16-part mixed choir, is notoriously difficult for musicians and vocalists to perform. Its rhythmic subdivisions and complexities melt away the performers’ sense of traditional bar lines. Entrances are subtle, so much so that listeners aren’t meant to consciously perceive them, which means...

Charmaine Poh 傅秀璇
PalaisPopulaire, Berlin /Deutsche Bank Artist of the Year 2025 / The first thing you encounter upon entering Charmaine Poh’s exhibition Make a travel deep of your inside, and don’t forget me to take is a glowing hand-written phrase on the floor, ending with “how we breathe”.
