ON NOW — Serena Lee: Playing the Mountain

Curated by Lesley Loksi Chan
Main Gallery | August 26 – October 8, 2022

In Playing in the Mountain, Serena Lee @serenaplum explores balance through various aesthetic forms: in the graphic composition and embodied practice of Chinese writing; in the soft resistance between kite, gravity, and air; and between a still mountain and running water, a model of balance for the dynamics of force in 太極拳 taijiquan internal martial arts and 山水 shanshui landscape painting. Serena draws on shared histories that cross temporal and geographical zones, piecing together a continuity of aesthetic practices by gathering fragments into a harmonic polyphony. Curated by @lesleyloksichan and on view August 26 – October 8. The opening reception is September 9.

In Writing in the Air, an undisciplined writing workshop co-facilitated by Serena Lee and Fan Wu @fanwu4u, participants will play with Chinese characters to make connections between art, usefulness, and memory. Participants will experiment with different materials and techniques to explore where words come from, and how we learn and use them where we are now. This workshop is free, for all ages, and geared to students of the Hamilton Chinese School
Date: September 17
Co-presented with @reelasian

Exhibition and Workshop supported by @canada.council and @ontarioartscouncil
