Delighted to share Lai Chih-Sheng’s solo exhibition, ‘Besides,’ at the Kirishima Open Air Museum, Japan.
“‘Besides,’ is about exceptions to reality, in which a unique sensitivity is initiated through acts of imagination, blurring, defiance, transcendence or vanquishment in regard to everyday circumstances.” –Lai Chih-Sheng
This solo exhibition encompasses a number of artworks Lai Chih-Sheng made since 2011, including new pieces characteristic of his conceptual ideas with an emphasis on the connection between daily life and nature. By distilling a certain sense of familiar yet peculiar feelings, Lai’s poignant exposition brings to light something simple, but resonant of a cosmic moment.
