Whitney Biennial 2026

CFGNY is a collective of artists who take both a critical and playful approach to Asian subjectivity through installations, performances, sculptures, and garments. The work comprises porcelain sculptures cast from the negative space between “Made in China” dollar-store objects and a stuffed animal soft sculpture—all housed in an architectural installation of wood boards and translucent plastic. This installation considers the history of trade and its impact on how race is categorized and assigned. By using building materials that are typically hidden or cleaned up, the artists position identity as a structure that is always “under construction.”
