SHOP: HOW DO WE SHOP
Singapore Design Week
2024

MUSEUM SHOP
MULU OFFICE ( Liu Chao-Tze & Zhou Junsheng)
26th Sep-6th Oct 2024

inkjet printed photographs on paper, acrylic keyrings, acrylic mirror

Derived from the ’21 THINGS’ series, ‘MUSEUM SHOP’ prints tourist photos from museums worldwide (2016–2024) onto acrylic keyrings. These keyrings symbolize museum shop souvenirs and serve as “mini-windows”, merging the museum’s browsing experience with window shopping. This juxtaposition displays the visual similarities between museum and shopping mall presentations, reflecting the interconnectedness of consumer and cultural spaces.







Tropical Opening
2024

Curated by Liu Chao-Tze
BIBF Art Book Fair: Paper Road
China National Convention Center, Beijing
19th June - 23rd June 2024

"Tropical Opening" brings together art books made by Southeast Asian artists, as well as publications that are directly or indirectly related to the region, inviting readers to unfold the pages of these warm and humid tropical islands on this newsstand floating in the sea of the art book fair.






Relics Magazine
2024
MULU OFFICE and Ni Jui-Hung
3.3058m2 Book Space, Kaohsiung, TW
1st March - 31st March 2024

At the 3.3058m2 Book Space, the project disassembles RELICS MAGAZINE, an artist’s book collaboratively created with artist Ni Jui-Hung, and ingeniously translates the images between its pages into a physical exhibition space. In doing so, it constructs a scene that exists beyond the narrative of the book itself. Viewers are involuntarily drawn into the scene they have created, coming to understand visual exhibition as an extension of text, and thus grasping the possibilities of reading.

神聖の充滿—An Ultimate Guide to Zen Living  (WIP) 
2023
Tsáu Thuann Art Festival 2023
Curated by Wang Zheng Wei Studio and 1/2 Room
1/2 Room - Daily Goods & ART, Chang Hua, TW
Dummy Books

An Ultimate Guide to Zen Living is a five-year photographic project (2016–2020). In these photographs, Buddha statues and images of the Buddha can be seen in European home-goods stores, clothing and gift shops, and big-box retailers, displayed in shop windows and on shelves alongside garden plants, candles, lampshades, yoga mats, and various lifestyle decorations, sometimes even bearing discount or sale labels. The way these Buddha figures are presented seems to strip them of their religious and cultural contexts, reducing them to symbols that convey nothing more than a certain sense of “Zen.”






CLOUDECK: Katalog
2023
MULU OFFICE (Liu Chao-Tze and Zhou Junsheng)
Celsius Projects, Malmö, SE
20th May - 18th June 2023

In CLOUDECK: Katalog, the exhibition space becomes an extension of the book’s time and space, and the exhibition itself also takes place within the book’s unfolding. After the physical exhibition at Celsius Projects in Malmö is ended, it will continue in between the pages of the catalog, traversing geographical boundaries and beyond, an exhibition in Malmö has just begun.
