We’re back from the holiday break, today marks the first day the gallery opens in 2026! Welcome to drop by 🎉 ! Born in Taipei, having lived in the United States and China before settling in Berlin, Tseng pursues a genuine interest in the fragility of social structures, particularly in moments shaped by the loss of control. In his dense paintings, events culminate: disastrous conditions and global disruptions form an armature for visualizing the forms of greed generated by the relentless growth-fetish embedded in technocapitalist systems. Tseng uses imagery to convey the moment immediately after the turmoil: when fate has been determined, the vibe shift is apparent and the air has become thick. In this exhibition, however, Tseng marks a point in time before the disaster. This moment holds the chance of reversing one’s own fate—here, through the seemingly irrational power of gambling. The title “Tenet” derives from the Latin tenere (to hold) and denotes a belief or doctrine in both religious and philosophical sense. Its palindromic quality, legible forwards and backwards, mirrors the cyclical logics inherent in the works.
