PCAI collection artist Loukia Alavanou participates in the inaugural exhibition of Taichung Art Museum A Call of All Beings: See you tomorrow, same time, same place, co-curated by the museum’s in-house curators alongside Ling-Chih Chow (Taiwan), Alaina Claire Feldman (USA), and Anca Mihuleţ-Kim (Romania/South Korea).
The Taichung Green Museumbrary, designed by SANAA—the Japanese architectural team led by Pritzker Prize laureates Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa—opens on December 13, 2025, inaugurating Taiwan’s first integrated metropolitan art museum and central library complex.
The exhibition invites visitors to explore the multilayered relationships between humans and the environment through themes such as the histories of flora and fauna, fables and mythologies, migration and movement, and language and storytelling. The exhibition also probes the tension between body and spatial perception, as well as the resilience of the wildness and the agency that persists within systems of rule and domestication.
Loukia Alavanou presents the VR installation On the Way to Colonus reimagines Greek tragedy within Athens’ Roma settlement, transforming marginalized peripheries into sites of dignity.
