Candice Lin : A Body Reduced to Brilliant Colour

22 Sep-11 Dec 2016

Overview

Lin’s first UK solo show features a new living sculpture exploring how histories of slavery and colonialism have been shaped by human attraction to particular colours, tastes, textures and drugs. Lin presents a new commission, a living sculpture assembled from hacked household objects that will transform historically loaded goods such as tea and sugar into a new substance, which will collect and congeal on the gallery floor throughout the exhibition.
