IF THE SKY COULD DREAM - Exploring the Mind of Artist Irene Hsiao

Event Date: Saturday, May 11 · 2 - 4pm CDT

Join the HMAA's Artist in Residence Irene Hsiao for a performance with guest musician Menghua following with an insightful artist conversation about the process behind her project, IF THE SKY COULD  DREAM. Attendees will explore the details of Hsiao's project through the lens of the artist herself, learning about installation and performance art and how it relates to the HMAA's current exhibition Year of the Dragon: Early China to LEGO.

IF THE SKY COULD DREAM focuses on the Chinese dragon as a powerful being that fosters harmony. This creature is emblematic of China as well as a mythological being for many Asian and Western cultures and thus evokes a sense of mysticism, and intrigue in many communities. Representing the Chinese Dragon as a water deity, the  installation series will feature images and projections of the weather and local bodies of water in Chicago.

Please note that events may be canceled or postponed due to unforeseen circumstances.
