Lotus Laurie Kang: In Cascades - Lotus Laurie Kang - Bog

An exploration into Kang¿s mercurial installations, rooted in an enduring concern with the body and the forces that shape it ¿ political, affective and otherwise. The latest title in the Chisehale Books series, Laurie Kang¿s first artist's book, will be developed alongside her Chisenhale commission. The artist's interests lie in unstable, continuously sensitive materials which are functionally and metaphorically in flux. Rooted in an enduring concern with the body and the forces that shape it ¿ political, affective and otherwise ¿ recent works have utilised processes rooted in photographic innovation. Kang references biology, feminist theory and science fiction to stage ambitious, site-specific installations that refer to the formation of the self and the memories imprinted upon us. Chisenhale Gallery will present a major new commission and the first solo exhibition in the UK by Kang ¿ producing her most ambitious site-specific installation yet. Comprising a series of sculptures and architectural interventions, the commission will continue her interest in the body as a process, shaped and reshaped by the structures that surround it.
