"Contemporary Art Project Series: Millie Chen"
2001-06-21 until 2001-10-14
Art Gallery of Hamilton
Hamilton, ON, CA Canada

Canadian artist Millie Chen often investigates the ecology of the body through the history of scientific and social use. She has explored the capacity for tactile materiality to trigger immaterial sonic vibrations in her recent projects. Viewing her work as a conveyor of psychic and physical memory, Chen seeks to form an alternative language of visual communication based on the sensual intelligence of the body.

In this project, conceived for the exhibition space at the Art Gallery of Hamilton , Chen explores the relationship between seeing and hearing, the shifting from one sense to another. Through hand constructed instrument-like forms made of spun and cast brass, Chen focuses on sound, particularly the sound of breath.
