An Unarrived Hello

Artemin Gallery

Artemin Gallery is pleased to announce the solo exhibition of the art and design collective「monouno」, running from November 29 to December 20, 2025.

Founded in 2021 by two sculptors, Hsu Jui-Chien and Chiang Chiao-Chin, monouno’s core philosophy is to blur the boundaries between artworks and everyday furniture. The collective subtly integrates the sculptor’s habitual contemplation of form, space, and the body into usable objects. Their works deliberately challenge the traditional definitions of functionality and aesthetics.

The exhibition’s core revolves around our perception of the “unreachable number,” the “void,” and the “unarrived greeting.” The artists transform the experience of dialing a number that remains unanswered into a gentle beckoning to the unknown. The sustained “beep—” is not empty; rather, it is filled with all the interrupted connections and words left unsaid.

Monouno challenges the fixed purpose of objects in reality. Much like renaming a sofa or dining table, the physical entities in their work are rearranged and reoriented to become extensions of the body, responding to that unreachable frequency. The exhibition explores how, even in a state of disconnection, we maintain the “posture of speaking” and address that void, seeking an alternative possibility to link with the “side that has yet to be picked up.”
