Wu Chi-Tsung: Recalibrate

In The Storey Gallery on the first floor

Opening times: Wednesdays - Saturdays 11am - 5pm and until 7.30pm on Thursdays.

The Storey is working with Live at LICA to present the work of acclaimed Taiwanese artist Wu Chi-Tsung. Supported by Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture, a new partnership programme with the Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art (Manchester) and Site Gallery (Sheffield) will deliver a series of exhibitions across the country to establish the first UK solo showcase of Wu Chi-Tsung’s work. Lancaster will present a unique split site exhibition between The Storey and the Peter Scott Gallery at Lancaster University.

 

Wu Chi-Tsung's work features landscape, nature and the urban environment; the work is connected by his aspirations and fears for an ever changing world and the aesthetics of traditional Chinese landscapes he studied early in his career. Amongst other stunning work, Lancaster will host Crystal City 004, a newly commissioned installation work for Recalibrate, and a number of cyanotypes from the Wrinkled Textures series.

 

Crystal City 004 is an all-encompassing installation, where the audience becomes part of the work itself upon entry to the space. Filling both the room and therefore the audiences’ environment with a moving and constantly shifting cityscape, the audience are playfully introduced into a city which appears and disappears as regularly as the pace we see the rapid development of cityscapes in Asia today. Wrinkled Textures, in comparison use the classic photographic technique of direct sun-light exposure to explore the aesthetics of traditional Chinese landscapes.
