Pei-Hsuan Wang’s practice traces kinship shaped by migration, memory, and the interplay between personal and canonized histories. Weaving together bio(mytho)graphical narratives, folklore, and cultural artifacts born of Asia-Pacific geopolitics, her work reflects on how meaning is carried and reconstructed across generations. Through sculpture, installation, video, drawing, and public intervention, Wang navigates migratory restlessness, incorporating materials ranging from sancai ceramics and institutionally loaned objects to motorized mechanisms.
Wang has presented work internationally at institutions, project spaces, biennials and triennials, and galleries including New Taipei City Art Museum, Taipei, TW (upcoming, 2026), Keteleer Gallery, Antwerp, BE (2026), Framer Framed, Amsterdam, NL (2025), Rhizoma Biennial at MASEREEL, Kasterlee, BE (2024), Kortrijk Triennial, Kortrijk, BE (2024), Beaufort Triennial, along the coastline, BE ( 2024), STUK Leuven, Leuven, BE (2024), and Publiek Park, Antwerp, BE (2023), among others. Recent solo exhibitions include Longer Than Smoke at Good Weather, Little Rock, USA (2026), The Extent of Our Union at Princessehof National Museum of Ceramics, Leeuwarden, NL (2025), Every Love Story Is a Ghost Story at _rhizome, Kortrijk, BE (2024), Gratitude Is a Colored Vessel at Ballon Rouge Collective, Brussels, BE (2023), and Ghost Eat Mud at Kunsthal Gent, Ghent (2022), among others.
