The Everyday Development Agency: A Field R&D Project for Exhibition Scripts

The Everyday Development Agency is founded upon the most “quotidian” situations—taking the same route to work every day, doing some quick shopping at a familiar mall, or routinely using the same services. These are things we often deem quite common. Behind this “normalization” lies an actively functioning “background.” Through the logic of display—such as visitor flow, arrangement, categorization, and regulations—this background continuously shapes the way we act and perceive ourselves.

 

The Agency seeks to embed the exhibition directly into this “background,” prompting an encounter and overlap between the exhibition and these otherwise invisible background mechanisms. Thus, individuals navigating the exhibition venue become both art viewers and users of this space.

 

This project will form a temporary collective to collaboratively determine the “background” into which the exhibition will be embedded, followed by on-site negotiation and execution. The collective’s judgment, communication, and compromise in this process will constitute an integral part of the project’s outcome. Ultimately, the Agency will review and organize these negotiation processes, working toward a methodology open for debate.

The collaborative practice of TSAI Ming-Yueh and LIN Yu-Sheng centers on investigating the invisible systems that construct everyday life. Their collaborative projects frequently initiate various participatory mechanisms, involving collaborations with a diverse range of actors and disciplines. Spanning curation, action proposals, and video art, their joint endeavors include participation in the Gudskul project at documenta fifteen (2022), the Jakarta Biennale (2024), and the exhibition Today’s Shopping Contingency at Showba Department Store (2025).

Tsai Ming-Yueh

Tsai Ming-Yueh holds degrees from the Graduate Institute of Transdisciplinary Art at National Kaohsiung Normal University and the Department/Institute of Materials Science and Engineering at National Cheng Kung University. Focusing on art curation and creation, Tsai explores the shifts in technology, customs, and locality within socio-cultural contexts. His recent curatorial projects include Today’s Shopping Contingency at Showba Department Store (2025), In Short(s) at Shin Leh Yuan Art Space (2024), and How’s your job? at FreeS Art Space (2024).

Lin Yu-Sheng

Lin Yu-Sheng holds a Master’s degree from the In-Service Master Program of the Department of Fine Arts at Taipei National University of the Arts. His practice focuses on the seemingly inconspicuous structures that profoundly influence daily life: the direction of airflows, the boundaries of institutions, the limitations of mobility, and the price of convenience. Through mobile installations, physical practices, and participatory systems in his long-term creations, Lin responds to the tug-of-war and compromise among land, environment, and the body. As an artist with a disability, Lin has a high degree of sensitivity in observation and movement; these physical limitations have become a crucial perceptive methodology within his artistic practice. His recent works include Car Artists Village, 24/7 Anonymous Association, My Mobile Farm, and Mobile Temple.
