Artist Stella Lai in Beijing
In 2005, the ASU Art Museum presented the first solo museum exhibition of the work of artist Stella Lai, an exhibition titled Let’s Stop Pretending (http://asuartmuseum.asu.edu/lai).
Lai has a current solo exhibition which opened last weekend at F2 Gallery in Beijing, for which I was fortune to have been invited to write an essay for the exhibition catalogue – an 80 page publication that includes an interview conducted by Danielle Shang, with all text presented in English and translated into Chinese. I thought I would share these installation images from the current exhibition which Lai shared with me.
In talking to Bradley McCallum last week during our installations, it turns out F2 Gallery is the same space that premiered Bradley McCallum and Jacqueline Tarry oil on canvas and toner on silk series, many of which are featured in the current ASU Art Museum exhibition of the Weithorn’s collection.
