Overview
Join us on Wednesday, November 13 at 6pm for a free public lecture from artist Leung Chi Wo. In his presentation, Leung will explore how his practice is shaped by the narratives embedded within the materials he uses. By playing with both reason and emotion, he develops an open-ended, non-conclusive narrative that transcends traditional modes of representation.
Leung Chi Wo employs a diverse range of mediums—including photography, text, found objects, performance, and installation—to merge historical exploration with conceptual inquiry. His work questions memory, power structures, and the ambiguities of history. By synthesizing vintage objects, archival materials, and imagery, Leung juxtaposes everyday moments with significant political events, drawing attention to the tension between personal and collective histories. His research-based practice often probes the fissures and uncertainties in how history is constructed and narrated.
Please note Cranbrook Art Museum galleries will be closed. Enter deSalle Auditorium through the Cranbrook Academy of Art Library.
