Artist Lu Ying-Chang’s New Solo Exhibition “COLLECT WISHES: Mr. makeAwish – Infinite Wish Card Company” will officially open on June 21, 2025, at Lisun Art Space!
This immersive exhibition space, infused with the passion of collecting and the nostalgia of childhood memories, is guided by the symbolic character “Mr. makeAwish”, inviting audiences to step into a magical universe where wishes, memories, and imagination intertwine.
On view are memories drawn from childhood collections, including a legendary icon from the world of sports cards - the “1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311.” Inspired by this classic, Lü Ying - Chang created Mr. makeAwish - Owning the 1952 Bearded Mantle, a work that pays tribute to the iconic Mantle Card, a symbol of guardianship and the source of energy for wishes. The exhibition also marks a new milestone in the artist’s decade - long project “WISHING RIVER (2023–2033)”, an ongoing practice of collecting 100 wishes annually since 2023. On this day, sixty original Wish Cards are unveiled to the public for the first time, issued as limited-edition artworks. Each unique card embodies the heartfelt desires of real wish-makers, such as the aspirational “Rose of Love,” the unbreakable “Friendship,” the ultimate longing of the “Diamond,” the supreme power of the “Crown,” the shifting wealth of “Bitcoin,” the supernatural call of “Godzilla,” and the visionary treasures “All-Seeing Eye” and “Gold Bar,” symbols of wisdom and prosperity. These artworks are gifts of art, like blessings held in your hand - each wish you hold is both a gift and a reflection of yourself.
At the center of the exhibition stands the artist’s wish-making worktable, showing how Wish Cards are created. On display are meaningful objects that carry energy and ritualistic value, including the Pokémon grail Lillie’s Clefairy #126 Ex SAR, alongside Wish Cards tied to precious shared memories. Extending from this emotional core, Lü Ying - Chang finally fulfills his 33-year dream: as CEO of the Infinite Wish Card Company, he presents the 60 original Wish Card designs as the foundation for a series of limited-edition blind card packs. Each pack includes a protective hard case and three cards (Gold, Silver, Black, or White), with the chance of finding the rarest 1/1 original card. A collector’s box of 12 packs is also available. The exhibition ignites waves of excitement with its “Make a Wish, Draw a Card Instantly” experience, sparking fervent exchanges and heartfelt interactions. Visitors leave not only with collectible treasures but also with blessings to carry home.
