Wu Chi-Tsung: Visiting Artist Lecture and Studio Tour
Date: 20 January 2026, 4:30-5:30PM (PST)
Venue: Anderson Ranch Arts Center, Colorado, USA
As part of the Anderson Ranch Arts Center Visiting Artists program, the center invites Wu Chi-Tsung for a public lecture and studio tour. Visiting artists at the Anderson Ranch Arts Center engage with students and residents through studio visits, critiques, and public lectures, creating a meaningful exchange that enriches the Ranch community and the broader public.
Grounded in temporality, materiality, and the act of viewing, Wu Chi-Tsung's work explores how perception is formed and where the limits of sensory awareness lie. He utilized xuan paper, nineteenth-century cyanotype techniques, and contemporary methods to develop a distinctive visual language that interwines temporal structures with physical layers. Through these explorations, Wu reflects on the emergence and dissolution of images, responding to humanity’s pursuit of vision, history, and reality in the age of images.
Wu’s practice does not treat East and West, old and new, or tradition and the contemporary as opposites; rather, it moves fluidly between them, extending and transforming across their boundaries. From analogue to digital, he examines how images in a rapidly shifting environment preserve, reconstruct, or rewrite the realities they once embodied. He investigates how modes of image production shape perception and memory, focusing on the recording of light, the variations that arise through reproduction, and the reconfiguration of visual experience under technological intervention.
