The Hayward Gallery in London, in partnership with the RC Foundation in Taiwan, has announced a new exhibition series for its HENI Project Space running from October 2025 to March 2027. The series features five solo exhibitions by artists Val Lee, Samuel Laurence Cunnane, Kulpreet Singh, Musquiqui Chihying, and Andrius Arutiunian, each exploring themes ranging from political violence and surveillance to climate change, ritual, and alternative cosmologies. The exhibitions are curated by a team including Yung Ma, Rachel Thomas, and others.
This series matters because it highlights the Hayward Gallery's continued commitment to showcasing emerging and international contemporary artists, particularly those from Taiwan, India, Ireland, and Lithuania. By partnering with the RC Foundation and the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, the gallery fosters cross-cultural dialogue and supports artists whose work addresses urgent global issues such as systemic control, environmental crisis, and the impact of technology. The series also underscores the role of project spaces in providing focused, solo presentations that allow for deep engagement with an artist's practice.
