Lee Kit: Watching Soaps (I can't recall the day that I last heard from you.)
Jan 22, 2011 - Feb 21, 2011
Known for making in situ paintings for different situations, either for picnics and social gatherings, public interventions or at a prison visit, Hong Kong artist Lee Kit's interest is to redefine how we identify with the everyday by staging communal activities with his artworks and to seek an uncanny interpretation of an object. For this exhibition, Lee will exhibit a series of artworks that allude to multiple stories inside a single space. The unfolding of contradictory narratives transforms the exhibition site into a temporary film set, upstaging a tension between what is real and artificial, still and theatrical. What is left is an emotionally charged state, open for the audiences' improvisation and imagination, and which requires the attention of a careful gaze.
