Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA
14 Sept 2024 - 05 Jan 2025

The exhibition considers the connections between climate change, environmental justice, and social justice through the lens of contemporary art—addressing anthropogenic disasters such as deforestation, ocean acidification, coral reef bleaching, water pollution, extraction, and atmospheric politics.

Chung’s large scale installation Stored In a Jar: Monsoon, Drowning Fish, Color of Water, and the Floating World (2010-2011) is a 1:50 scale model of a floating village that she proposed in response to extreme flood projections due to sea level rise and climate variability. Chung researched various farmhouse and houseboat communities throughout Asia, combining vernacular architectural forms with design principles in arcology, many of which have already existed in these floating villages. Chung’s proposal recommends an adaptation measure rather than mobility, drawing from the wisdom and resilience of these communities in living with such acute climate crisis for generations.

United Nations Office for Disasters Risk Reduction (UNDRR) | Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (APMCDRR)

Exhibition Venue: Music Hall, SM Mall of Asia, Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines
13 - 18 October 2024

The Asia-Pacific region is the most disaster-prone in the world and the frequency and intensity of disasters are increasing. There has been an 80% increase in the number of people affected by disasters since 2015, and the most vulnerable countries are on the front lines of disaster and climate impacts. Disaster risk reduction saves lives – significantly fewer people are dying from disasters such as cyclones, floods and storms because of better warning, planning and resilience.

This exhibition presents a wide range of artworks to highlight challenges and solutions related to disaster risk reduction in Asia and the Pacific. The artworks are displayed to encourage engagement with the three thematic pillars of the APMCDRR. We invite you to reflect on the individual and collective actions we need for a resilient, thriving future. Artists: Auntora Mehrukh Azad, Tiffany Chung, Common Room, Nathalie Dagmang, Arum Dayu, Liz Ebengo, Manabu Ikeda, Tsubasa Kato, Daniel H Lin, Teody Boylie R Perez, Sidney Régis, Tsherín Sherpa, Do Ho Suh, Veejay Villafranca, Chris Wainwright, and Catherine Sarah Young.

The exhibition is organized by the UNDRR with the support of the Philippine Government, the UNESCO Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.

Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas, TX
4 August 2023 - 3 August 2025

Tiffany Chung: Rise into the Atmosphere comprises two new works: an immersive audio installation, Composition X (2022; 20 mins) and its visual counterpart, Poetic Landscapes Remembered (2023). Composition X interweaves sound, music and poetry created by 27 participants from around the world—some draws from their memories of home or the experience of being forcibly uprooted.
In Poetic Landscapes Remembered, Chung uses 3D animation software to give forms and translate the sonic frequencies from Composition X into a landscape video, and distill its selected frames into printed elements, resulting in a patchwork of textures and patterns. As visitors proceed through the Concourse surrounded by Chung’s mural and ambient sound installation, they will traverse an evocative, sensorial terrain and immerse themselves with poetic, sonic, and visual possibilities in reimagining the memories of others.

21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art Kanazawa, Ishigaki, Japan
22 June - 14 October 2024

This exhibition explores how artists use the line as a fundamental element in the creation of their work, and how the line can convey meaning, movement, and emotion. In artistic expression, the line is not just a static mark, but a dynamic gesture that captures the artist’s movement and intent, demarcating boundaries and intersections between different spaces and concepts.

ARTISTS:
EL ANATSUI, Tiffany CHUNG, Sam FALLS, Mirdidingkingathi Juwarnda Sally GABORI, Marguerite HUMEAU, Mark MANDERS, OHMAKI Shinji, Henrique OLIVEIRA, Oksana PASAIKO, SUPERFLEX, Judy WATSON, YAGI Yuna, YOKOYAMA Nami.

Busan Museum of Contemporary Art, Busan, South Korea
24 Feb - 27 July 2024

This Is Not Just Local: Tactical Practices explores and reconfigures the meaning of locality beyond the hierarchical formula of center and periphery. By presenting shared practices of one another’s experiences, encounters, and alliances through the concept of “tactics,” drawn from studies of war, the exhibition investigates a subset of themes such as Strategic point_the rumored spot, Embodied memory, Network into the future, That landscape as it always were, Anxiety-Coordination-Coexistence, Sense of Boundaries, and Polyphonic speaking. Tactics refer to the readjustment of assigned cultural structures, through which the exhibition aims to investigate questions, experiences, attitudes, and zeitgeists that are connectively derived beyond geopolitical locales rather than being tethered to geographic places.

ARTISTS:
Bac Jungwon, James Benning, Cheong Jinyun, Tiffany Chung, Wang Dukkyoung, Kim Gemini, Kim Jeesoo, Kim Kyung, Kim Sujeong, Julia Lohmann, Paik Jongkwan, Park Sangeun, Taiki Sakpisit, Hugh Watt, and Jazoo Yang.

05 April - 07 July 2024

Curated by guest curator and art historian Thomas J. Berghuis and set within the historical context of Museum Van Loon, fourteen artists from around the world explore the intricate connections between colonialism and nationalism. The exhibition poses a question: how can humanity feel at home in a world beyond the 'colonial state' and the 'nation-state'? What insights and concepts—from migrant communities, indigenous peoples, collectives, and diaspora representatives—provide us with tools for connectivity across often artificial borders? How can humanity coexist in harmony with each other and with nature?

ARTIST:
Rushdi Anwar, Raul Balai, Tiffany Chung, Iftikhar Dadi and Elizabeth Dadi, Leah Gordon, FX Harsono, Jitish Kallat, Reena Saini Kallat, patricia kaersenhout, Minouk Lim, Praneet Soi, Lidwien van de Ven, and Sue Williamson.

National Mall, DC
18 August - 18 September 2023

Tiffany Chung’s prototype monument, For the Living, (Constitution Gardens – West, near Vietnam Veterans Memorial) traces the global routes of Southeast Asian refugees in the aftermath of the ‘Vietnam War’ on a world map without national boundaries, prompting visitors to reflect on their own journeys of migration while remembering that the cost of this war is also absorbed by people from Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, including Hmong.

Chung’s earthwork is part of Beyond Granite: Pulling Together, the first outdoor exhibition in the history of the National Mall responding to a central question: What Stories Remain Untold on the National Mall?

This exhibition is curated by Dr. Paul Farber and Dr. Salamishah Tillet for Monument Lab, co-presented by the Trust for the National Mall, National Capital Planning Commission, and National Park Service, and is funded by the Mellon Foundation, featuring works by Derrick Adams, Tiffany Chung, Ashon T.

When the galleries reopen, newly acquired artworks by Tiffany Chung, Audrey Flack, Jeffrey Gibson, Barbara Jones-Hogu, Tseng Kwong Chi, Miguel Luciano, Kay WalkingStick, Alison Saar, Hank Willis Thomas, and Carrie Mae Weems, among others, will be displayed alongside iconic works from the collection such as Jenny Holzer’s For SAAM, Kerry James Marshall’s Sob, Sob, Nam June Paik’s Electronic Superhighway: Continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii, and Mickalene Thomas’ Portrait of Mnonja.

Artnews review of the new permanent collection hang at the Buffalo AKG Art Museum.

…The third floor, which is largely free of any walls at all, is where the AKG is showing off some of its shiniest new works, including a giant tire ensconced in chains by Arthur Jafa, and a Simone Leigh sculpture depicting an armless Black female figure whose skirt is formed from raffia. This is a telling of recent art history formed by artists who cross cultural borders, an effect driven home by Tiffany Chung’s reconstructing an exodus history: flight routes from camps and of ODP cases (2017), an embroidered map of the world in which lines of string connect the United States to Asia…

Group exhibition
Emerson Contemporary
31 October - 15 December 2023

Kiang Malingue Gallery, Hong Kong
20 March - 6 May 2023

In Entangled Traces, Disremembered Landscape, Chung continues her ever-deepening exploration of geopolitics, history, and memory, marking critical shifts in historical narratives by tracing the entanglements of nature, culture, colonialism, war, and state-making, and introducing pivotal temporal aspects to the act of mapping. The exhibition features three of Chung’s interwoven projects that exemplify her committed interdisciplinary practice.

Chung’s series Terra Rouge: circles, traces of time, rebellious solitude (2022) uncovers the Bình Long–Phước Long plateau’s traumatic past as the site of sprawling French colonial rubber plantations and violent battles of the 1972 Easter Offensive in Vietnam, while depicting the region’s Neolithic circular earthwork sites and studying how these groups coexisted with nature as a way to imagine a different future.

USM Global (2018-2023) comprises maps and an online research archive that track the U.S. military global footprint and spotlight Sub-Saharan countries, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, as well as Okinawa (Japan). It also includes works referencing Hawai’i as a traumatic site of memory: transpacific migration, plantation labor, economic expansion, and military imperialism—as well as unpacking how the United States’ commercial interests intertwined with its Cold War policy and political influence in places such as Guatemala.

The final chapter of Chung’s Vietnam Exodus Project is a three-channel video entitled If Water Has Memories (2022), which performs a symbolic burial for refugees who were attacked by pirates at sea in the aftermath of the Vietnam War and maps the locations of these atrocities in the Gulf of Thailand. As the exhibition reveals, Chung’s works are not only investigations of fraught geopolitical histories but also poignant acts of remembrance for people caught in conflict, paving the way for hope and healing.

This exhibition asks the question, what informs and shapes our experience of the city in the 21st century? The works on view take into consideration not only visual components but also sensory perceptions and collective memories of urban life that impact our minds and bodies and structure our lives in unexpected ways. Urban Impressions, with its decentralized and multisensorial presentation, illustrates how the metropolis is a space in flux that is made of tangible and intangible elements that impact our individual perception and highlights how artists help us to untangle the complexities or transcend the realities of urban life.
