Leelee Chan｜An Afternoon With...Leelee Chan
Leelee Chan is the fourth guest of the An Afternoon with…. series. These artistic conversations are aimed at enhancing dialogues between the participating artists of the group show Hovering and Venetian audiences.
Chan's practice, which incorporates urban debris, ancient artefacts, natural and industrial materials, and quotidian products, generates visual paradoxes in which these objects move seamlessly between past, present and future. Chan’s works and ideas will be explored throughout the guided tour and an informal Q&A. This event is scheduled for June 16, and will begin promptly at 4.00 PM.
The Capsule Venice team looks forward to welcoming you!
