His paintings and drawings are mostly based on motifs from East Asian mythology or other esoteric traditions. This is his first solo exhibition in a museum, and it contains both new and existing works. Its title, They always look from an imagined above, also names a temporary ink mural (2025) on the vaulted ceiling of the a seventeenth-century Radvila Palace. Who are ‘they’? What is the ‘above’ and why is it ‘imagined’? Chan is not telling us. He has placed Cosmic egg (2021), a woollen rug, under the mural. The rug alludes to a creation myth, but again without explanation. In an adjacent space, the walls and ceilings receive the projected work Patrol (2025), where ‘they’ …

Gonzalez-Torres was one of the most significant artists to emerge in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In its reduced formal vocabulary, conceptual rigor, and evocative use of everyday materials, his work resonates with meaning that is at once specific and mutable, rigorous and generous, poetic and political. Featuring examples from key bodies of work by the artist, this presentation will also extend beyond the gallery into the city, and will seek to draw out the deep resonances between Gonzalez-Torres’s practice and the city’s complex urban fabric, historical trajectory, and evolving identity.

Hong Kong–based Canadian photographer Ulana Switucha spent ten years journeying through Japan’s quiet, lesser-travelled landscapes, photographing its most iconic and sacred gateways. First appearing in Japan around the 10th century, torii evolved from simple wooden structures into the iconic forms seen across the country today. They mark the transition from the secular to the sacred, serving as enduring symbols of reverence for the Kami: deities believed to dwell within the natural world. Architectural and symbolic, these gates embody reflection, balance, and the harmony between humanity and nature, and today stand as enduring symbols of Japan’s cultural and spiritual heritage. A former resident of Japan, her decade-long journey is uniquely devoted to photographing its torii. Over the years, Ulana Switucha has developed a deep familiarity with …

Spanning works from the past twenty-five years, this is the artist’s first solo exhibition in Japan, and follows her prestigious 2025 Maria Lassnig Prize. When approaching a work of Carrie Yamaoka: Acknowledge the potential of an irreversible intimacy. Savor your distance to form a holding pattern, as this orbiting could bring you closer to what future proximity might hold. Recognize your present orientation—physically, mentally, and spiritually—as the inception of your visual recognition and perception. Consider time’s virtue in the displacement and distance of your encounter. In physics, displacement contains magnitude and direction: walking around the block to return to the starting position yields zero displacement. Yamaoka’s work claims power back from the solitary zero-sum game of life. Walk around that block. Anticipate the amplitude of your heart to shape the architecture of the self the work offers. Let …
