Venue: Asia Art Archive
On 22 March 2024, Dr. Yeewan Koon will host an artist talk with artist Zheng Chongbin at the Asia Art Archive, to delve into Zheng’s artistic practice and transformation from his experiments in contemporary ink art that synthesizes Chinese and Western explorations in calligraphy and gesture, to his video installations that manipulate transparency and light to explore how ephemeral changes can alter our perception of place.
Zheng Chongbin presents his all new monumental, immersive light installation “Immeasurable Things - Life flows within and without you” in his solo exhibition at Galerie du Monde, on view from 21 March - 1 June 2024.
