How to be 57<br />
Oxygen Art Centre is pleased to offer a new exhibition, How to<br />
be 57 by visual artist Lucie Chan. Lucie Chan was born in Guyana,<br />
and currently resides on the unceded and ancestral territories of the<br />
Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-WaututhNations otherwise known<br />
as Vancouver, BC where she maintains a multi-disciplinary visual<br />
art practice and teaches at Emily Carr University of Art and Design.<br />
Chan just completed a three-week residency at Oxygen Art Centre.<br />
During the residency she was immersed in installing her large<br />
body of work, How to be 57. The work was created over a six-year<br />
period, and first shown in 2018. The installation includes watercolour<br />
and ink drawings, handwritten text, and textural and found<br />
materials. During her residency she also conducted interviews with<br />
community members investigating experiences of racialized violence,<br />
and in particular, the varying experience of people of colour<br />
and immigrants today. These intimate conversations inspire and fuel<br />
her work.<br />
Critical to the development of How to be 57 was the artist’s conversation<br />
with two women, one a Dutch immigrant in France who<br />
finds herself interrogated in her home despite her innocence, and the<br />
other, an unarmed civil servant who suffers from racialized violence<br />
when her apartment is mistakenly raided. The work departs from the<br />
stories and emotions of these important conversations.<br />
How to be 57 is situated in the historic and contemporary struggle<br />
of the diasporic peoples, of women and of people of colour to find<br />
justice in a world ripe with systemic violence and injustices. A powerful<br />
body of work that both confronts and subdues the viewer. For<br />
Chan this work is a way of honouring the individual who is often forgotten<br />
in the collective experience of being human, and of conjoining<br />
individuals through sharing stories around culture and identity.<br />
Much of the installation is paper-based, which the artist has used<br />
to create scrolls of rich colour and texture, cloud-like forms, passages<br />
of handwritten text and figurative watercolour and ink drawings.<br />
Immersed in her residency, Chan has thoughtfully unpacked<br />
and installed the hundreds of individual pieces of worked paper that<br />
form this body of work.<br />
The exhibition is an immersive experience. A banner-like<br />
installation of text hangs diagonally across the gallery space from<br />
which the artist has attached layers of handwritten text. The tactile<br />
nature of the papers with their yellowing tones and the use of the<br />
ink is reminiscent of the delicate papyrus sheets of ancient texts<br />
such as, the Dead Sea scrolls. Words and quotes from a variety of<br />
sources are written across the sheets of paper, for example, I really<br />
think the range of emotions and perceptions I have had access<br />
to as a Black person and a female person are greater than those<br />
of people that are neither by Toni Morrison remind us that these<br />
issues are not new to society.<br />
To attempt to grasp the multilayered emotions and messages of<br />
this exhibit is a daunting task; however, like wandering in dream<br />
imagery we find amongst the many elements that which speaks and<br />
resonates with us. Several figurative drawings hold the abstract and<br />
textural pieces. They are scattered throughout the installation almost<br />
as if they are hiding waiting to be discovered, for the smallness of<br />
scale does not contain the loudness of their voice, and the pathos<br />
that is at the heart of this work.<br />
How to Be 57 will be on view at Oxygen Art Centre from <strong>Sept</strong>ember<br />
3 to October 1, 2022 on Wednesdays to Saturdays from 1:00<br />
<strong>–</strong> 5:00 PM. Admission is free. Everyone welcome to attend.<br />
