SCENES OF BECOMING
A Solo Exhibition by Huey-Min Chuang
September 26–October 25, 2026
Weekends at Filmshop House
Nolan Park, Building 4B | Governors Island, NYC
ARTIST TALK: OCTOBER 4 | 3–4 PM
What if this is the moment? What if this is the time?
Filmshop House presents Scenes of Becoming, a solo exhibition by Taiwanese American multidisciplinary artist Huey-Min Chuang.
Bringing together paintings, drawings, mixed-media collage, found materials, and music, Scenes of Becoming follows women navigating the interior landscapes of their lives—moments of uncertainty, memory, courage, transition, and possibility.
Each work functions almost like a frame pulled from a film. We encounter a woman in the middle of something: a decision, a memory, a departure, a beginning. We may not know exactly what came before or what will happen next, but we are invited to imagine the story beyond the frame.
Across the exhibition, Chuang explores questions of migration, identity, belonging, and transformation, asking what it means to recognize the moments when our lives are calling us toward something new.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Huey-Min Chuang is a Taiwanese American multidisciplinary artist and storyteller whose practice encompasses drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, found materials, and original music. Self-taught, she began her artistic practice at 48 during the pandemic and has since developed an expanding body of work exploring memory, migration, belonging, imagination, resilience, and transformation.
Born in Taiwan and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Chuang later studied and lived in Germany and Spain before establishing her life and artistic practice in the United States. Her cross-cultural experience informs a practice concerned with how identity is carried, remembered, reimagined, and transformed across places and generations.
Chuang has presented solo exhibitions with Harlem ArtCrawl, Voelker Orth Museum, the Taiwanese American Arts Council, and XiaZhuTing Historical Museum, as well as exhibitions and presentations at Marin Museum of Contemporary Art (MarinMOCA), Trolley Barn Gallery, Queensborough Community College Gallery, Hualien Stone Sculpture Museum, Hsin Chu Glass Museum, and Governors Island, among other venues. Her exhibition history also includes participation in the 6th Louisiana Biennial.
Her work is included in the White Columns Artist Registry. She has participated in artist residencies and public programs with the Taiwanese American Arts Council and Forest for Trees on Governors Island, and was selected as an Artist in Action at the Smithsonian-affiliated Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center in Maryland.
Her artistic journey and work have been featured in Forbes, US News & World Report, World Journal, Radio Taiwan International, and The Epoch Times, among other media outlets.
Chuang’s practice continues to expand across visual art, writing, and songwriting, using each medium as a different way of asking how a life is remembered, imagined, and remade—and what becomes possible when we choose to begin.
