Peggy Chiang’s work often begins with a legible yet ordinary subject, an object that could be commonplace or even peripheral. Chiang borrows the images and names of things and their attached associations to reconstruct, alter or combine, casting doubt on the passivity of objects and troubling the logic around representation and value.

"Forming" (2024) consists of a small shelf-work, protruding from the wall like the angled corners of restaurant tables. This assisted readymade focuses on the traces and aftermath of labor in the absence of a “product.” Empty takeout containers with simulated steam atop stained tablecloths are the sole objects on display for consumption.

Chiang (b. 1989, San Francisco) received an MFA from Rutgers University and a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art. Recent solo exhibitions include Wasted, Laurel Gitlen, New York; Fiend, hatred2, Brooklyn; and spleen and ideal, Prairie, Chicago. Chiang lives and works in New York. Chiang's work is presented in collaboration with her representing gallery, Laurel Gitlen, NY.

江佩（Peggy Chiang）的创作常以清晰易懂却寻常的主题为起点，围绕那些看似普通甚至容易被忽视的物件展开。她借用物品的图像和名称，以及它们所承载的象征意义，通过重构、改造或拼合的方式，打破物件固有的被动性，同时质疑关于再现与价值的传统认知。

在她的作品《形成》中，一个小型的壁挂式装置如同餐厅桌角向墙外探出。作为一件经过人为干预的现成物，它聚焦于劳动留下的痕迹与余韵，而所谓的“产品”却隐匿不见。空荡的外卖盒仿佛仍在冒着虚幻的蒸汽，而布满污渍的餐桌布成为仅存的视觉线索。观者在注视这些残留物的同时，也被引导去思考消费、劳动和物质存在之间的复杂关系。

江佩（1989年生于美国旧金山）获得罗格斯大学的艺术硕士学位，并于马里兰艺术学院取得艺术学士学位。她的近期个展包括在纽约的Laurel Gitlen画廊举办的《Wasted》，布鲁克林hatred2空间的《Fiend》，以及芝加哥Prairie画廊的《spleen and ideal》。目前，江佩生活和工作在纽约。
