Contemporary Art Book Symposium
Repost from Multiple Formats: Contemporary Art Book Symposium weaves together conversations about artist books and higher education, pedagogical practices involving artist books, artist advocacy, and artist book distribution, collection, and access. Intended to be an elastic and inclusive forum for discussions about artist book publishing, Multiple Formats pays particular attention to publishing by graphic designers, the use and creation of artist books in visual arts programs, publishing as a personal and collaborative process, and other topics of interest.

Hui 家
Hui 家 was selected for the Radical Return exhibition which was curated for a group of Chinese(-American designers). The exhibition is staged at @buartgalleries in Boston and @isagallery_shanghai in Shanghai.
We all have a home to return to, although it often relocates. The bold characters “家”, are Chinese translation for home, representing the SAME eager of returning home for everyone. In the background, the contour of the maps for Hengyang, Toronto, and Boston, enclosed with poem written by myself, remarks my devotion and love to my three homes where I grew up; separated from my parents; and started my own family respectively. Surrounding text around the edges are questions always asked in daily life on where you are from, or in other words, where you want to RETURN to.

Hallway, tunnel, corridor, etc. We can easily identify the shell of a liminal space. But we often neglect the carrier/passenger that moves through liminality. Unlike other common carriers, the elevator moves up and down, with limited and encapsulated inner space, resulting in a blind-ed sense of transition during its ride. In these countless short rides, most people simply do nothing. But interesting attempts were made to fill the void — overwhelmed advertisement, elevator pitch, map, and signage, etc. COVID also tweaks it a bit with fewer people but more signs contained. By reiterating the visual, audible, touchable impression of my elevator rides, I hope to reconstruct such commonly ignored liminal space and explore inspiration from it with my audience.
