Shimmer at Sundown with Stephen Kwok

Shimmer at Sundown with Stephen Kwok
Thursday 22 May, 6 pm – 7.30 pm
Reading and conversation

Join us for the first weeknight sundowner since 2019, where we host the occasional event around(ish) sunset. For this first event, we have invited artist and curator Stephen Kwok to talk with us about strategies of rearrangement and misuse in his artistic and curatorial projects, from his new site-responsive installation works at Bologna CC in Amsterdam to Activations, the experimental public program series he curates at Dia Art Foundation in the US.

Stephen Kwok creates situations in which contradictions between a site and the activity within it may emerge. He has exhibited his work at Seoul Museum of Art; Surplus Space, Wuhan; Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin; Center for Performance Research, Brooklyn; Julius Caesar Gallery, Chicago; Contemporary Arts Center, New Orleans; and Lawndale Art Center, Houston and has participated in programs at Delfina Foundation in London, the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal, and NEW INC in New York. He lives in Brooklyn, teaches design at Brooklyn College, and serves as the Curator of Public Engagement at Dia Art Foundation.
