Lu Wei and Tuan Mu are visual artists and a duo of curators based in Taipei, Taiwan. They curated a show at the Taitung Art Museum in 2023, for which they were nominated for the 22nd Taishin Art Award, a show at the Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei (MOCA Taipei) and received the “Curator’s Incubator Program @museums” grant from the National Culture and Arts Foundation. As artists, they held a show at ICA Yerevan in 2025. Lu Wei’s artistic practice includes ink painting, installations, and videos that incorporate feminist thought to broaden the understanding of gendered bodies in ink history. Tuan Mu reinterprets traditional Asian culture using new media, blending Buddhist and Taoist philosophies with elements like AI and virtual reality to examine human perception in the digital age.

During their residency at AiR 351/CAC, they are planning to develop a new body of work that engages with and questions colonial imagery and aesthetics connecting Portugal and Asia. Their artistic research will explore themes such as gender, digitality and mythology. They aim to transcend the limitations of the body and historical perspectives through various forms of visual expression. By deconstructing and reconfiguring the symbolic meanings within images, they seek to create dialogues that expand and differentiate their perspectives within contemporary ink art.
