Where does perception dwell between breath, weight, and echo?
Traces settle upon garments, sound lingers as echoes within the space.
For the Spring/Summer 2026 dual exhibition at MACA Art Center, we are honored to feature textile artist Wang Yinpan and musician Yue Xuan in a live performance centered on memory and presence. Using clothing as her medium, Wang Yinpan utilizes patches, stains, and discarded objects to reactivate traces suspended in time. In dialogue, Yue Xuan employs improvisational music to respond to the exhibition space, exploring the fluid transformation of emotion across different forms. Their performances will briefly intersect, creating resonant moments that remain distinct yet harmonized.
About the artist: Yinpan Wang
A fiber artist, she specializes in doll design and production, installation, costume and puppet theater, and is currently exploring new media.
In daily life, she collects and utilizes various materials, reassembling them into new structures based on personal feelings. The starting point of her work is largely subjective and driven by private motives, often without grand narratives or purposes. It could be a story, an object noticed and recorded on the way home, or an emotion or vague dream from a certain period. She cherishes the everyday and the spontaneous, and this journey from simple dolls to puppet theater reflects an ongoing process of thinking, learning, and exploring greater playfulness and interaction.
About the artist: Yue Xuan
Yue Xuan is a music composer and performer born in Changsha, Hunan in 1990. She graduated from the Music Department of Communication University of China in 2013.
Her music has been described as contemporary classical, combining compositional techniques from the classical tradition with the freedom of contemporary expression. Yue's musical world is marked by solitude, sensitivity, and quiet restraint — qualities shaped in part by her early piano studies under her father's influence, which laid the foundation for her distinctive artistic voice.
Beyond music, Yue moves fluidly across different materials and forms — piano, painting, and other mediums — driven by a curiosity about how emotion is transformed, how balance is found, and where boundaries might be crossed.
