Tan Mu: Signal
On view
5 September – 15 November 2025
As part of a longterm collaboration between Tan Mu and BEK Forum on Signal, the exhibition features five paintings from the series, which depict the undersea telecommunication cables that connect and compose our global, techno-human society. This body of work, grounded in Tan Mu’s oil painting technique and diving experience, creates original, milestone imagery that reflects our evolving relationship with both technology and one another.
Having entered top international collections since its debut at Art Basel Miami Beach 2024, the Signal series will have its first comprehensive presentation, accompanied by music and scholarly programs.

Tan Mu (b. 1991, Shandong, China; lives and works in the United States) is a contemporary artist whose practice investigates the invisible structures that shape modern life—ranging from submarine communication systems and data flows to cosmic observation and memory systems. Her work constructs a visual language that bridges structure and emotion across both macro and micro scales, emphasizing the themes of connection and continuity that underscore our shared human experience.
