Rexy Tseng: The Art of the Edge

Rexy Tseng, "Cruel World", 2025

Sensitive Content quite literally refers to the warning overlay applied to algorithm-flagged posts on Instagram — for nudity, sexuality, violence, politics, or other contested material. At MAD Art Gallery in Poznań, Rexy Tseng, a Berlin-based Taiwanese artist working across painting and installation, confronts such “content” as a culture caught between censorship and exposure, that polices and consumes with equal appetite.

Social media’s algorithms and the culture of online approval have dulled creative risk and pushed toward more conservative expressions. Simultaneously, unlimited access to explicit content has emptied the idea of taboo; what was once forbidden is now endlessly available, stripped of mystery and charge. When everything can be shown, Tseng asks what still feels off-limits, and why do we keep returning to those edges?
