TKG+ is pleased to announce its first collaboration with Michael Lin in a solo exhibition. In “Raem,” Lin explores the interplay between perception, space, memory, and presence through a new body of work. Central to the exhibition is a freestanding structure—a “booth,” whose walls function as both material and conceptual elements rather than mere backdrop. By treating these walls as permeable, Lin reveals and conceals their internal construction interchangeably, thus inviting reconsideration of vision’s limits and mediation. Expanding on this inquiry, Lin incorporates painted motifs derived from lattice windows found in traditional Taiwanese architecture. These paintings act as visual interfaces, guiding the gaze and foregrounding the act of looking.

Throughout “Raem,” Michael Lin dissolves the line between mural painting (caihui), which is integrated into architecture, and portable painting (huihua), which exists independently. His works consistently oscillate between these modes: site-specific and inseparable from their architectural contexts, they render space integral to both the work and its reception. Within this framework, windows and walls are conceptual prompts. Floral imagery recurs, meanings intersect, and boundaries are continually renegotiated. As viewers move through thresholds—between interior and exterior, seeing and being seen—perception becomes fluid, enticing an encounter with space, memory, and presence, an experience ever unfolding.
