Paul Chan: The 7 Lights

New Museum of Contemporary Art
583 Broadway,
New York, USA
Apr 09, 2008 To Jun 29, 2008


Detail: This exhibition features a new series of animated projections by the New York-based artist Paul Chan. Since 2005, Chan has been working on an ambitious series of seven video installations that present hallucinatory interpretations of the myth of creation, evoking an atmosphere of destruction and ecstatic revelation. Chan mixes images of simple beauty with traumatic memories from 9/11 and illuminating quotations from art history. The show is the American premiere of Chan’s The 7 Lights, which will be accompanied by other videos and works on paper. The exhibition will offer a unique occasion to contemplate Chan’s work in New York, the city that has inspired many of his visions.
