From August 1st to August 5th the community is invited to observe, Gu Xiong, artist, install “A River of Migration” in the Atrium Gallery at SJIMA. The exhibit is open to the public for viewing from Saturday, August 6 to Monday, November 28, 2016.
Continuing SJIMA’s Art as a Voice series, Gu Xiong will give a lecture/multimedia presentation: “A River of Migration” on August 3, 7:30 p.m. at the San Juan Community Theatre, Friday Harbor. More details of Gu Xiong’s lecture will be available soon.
In celebration of SJIMA’s ongoing relationship with the art community of British Columbia and shared concerns about the marine environment, as well as the human cost of migration, SJIMA has invited Gu Xiong to present his installation “A River of Migration.”
Gu Xiong’s practice centers on the creation of a hybrid identity arising from the integration of different cultural origins. Through the critical angle of visual art, his work encompasses sociology, geography, economics politics, and literature, as well as the dynamics of globalization, local culture and identity politics, through which he constitutes an amalgamation of multiple cultural histories and seeks to create an entirely new identity. The construction of a new level of being is Gu Xiong’s primary interest. Observe the emergence of two rivers and two cultures – a spiritual river and a river of migration.
