Ivana Bašić’s and Fran Chang at Taipei Biennial 2025
1 November 2025
Ivana Bašić’s installation includes several sculptures placed inside the hall and outside in the courtyard. The central sculpture, Metabole, includes microphones that capture and amplify a loud, mechanical hammering sound. The hammers slowly pulverize the stone in rhythm with the artist’s breath.
Through layered, fragmented images, Fran Chang in her new silk triptych Nothing is really beautiful but truth explores nature, silence, memory, and belonging. She brings together her Taiwanese heritage with a background in visual arts and astrophysics to create subtle, atmospheric compositions that speak to both personal history and place.
