An Afternoon with Formosan Groove
Saturday, July 25, 2026, 1 pm

Join us for our second music event in July as we feature Formosan Groove, a jazz fusion group based in Washington D.C. Led by Shin-Yi Lee (also known as Rufusion), the group performs classic Taiwanese traditional songs, a project that reimagines familiar melodies through groove-driven arrangements that blend jazz harmony, global rhythms, electronic textures, and traditional Asian instruments. Other musicians include ChengLun Cheng (erhu) and Eugenio Ibarz (Bass). This program is organized in conjunction with Tao Ya-Lun’s exhibition Ubiquitous Ghosts. Learn more.

This exhibition presents three works by Taiwanese artist Tao Ya-Lun that examine the spectral nature of power, technology, and displacement in contemporary life. Through two immersive VR installations and one video work, viewers encounter the ubiquitous forces that shape human existence—from utopian monuments to the profound ruptures of war and exile. Together, these works reveal how virtual media and technology create both unprecedented surveillance and unexpected forms of presence. The “Ghost”—whether political ideology, consumer fantasy, or displaced person—persists beyond physical boundaries or manufactured “togetherness,” infiltrating consciousness and reshaping what we understand as real.

In this new series, Kheiriyeh draws inspiration from the love story of Zal and Rudaba, from the Shahnameh written by Ferdowsi — one of her favorite childhood narratives. Centuries ago, many Persian painters once illustrated these stories on a miniature scale. Kheiriyeh reimagines them in large-scale works that invite viewers to step inside their timeless world.

Threading the Gaze examines how visibility and sensibility are continually negotiated within apparatuses of bodily production. Drawing on images, primarily selfies, taken by Iranian women during the Woman, Life, Freedom Movement, Bozorgi traces circuits of exchange between human and non-human gazes, investigating who looks at whom, how one chooses to be seen, and who can be seen or remain unseen.
