Denny Dimin Gallery is delighted to announce a one-off performance Cyring Non-stop by artist IV Chan whose work is currently on view as part of the group exhibition, The Thread is Not Straight at the gallery’s space in Wong Chuk Hang. The performance continues Chan’s ideas on the formation of identity in childhood, with the focus on the complex relationship arc between the child and its immediate surroundings including its objects, environment, and mother figure. The multimedia performance sees Chan collate sound, poetry, fabricated props and costume to create an immersive and nostalgic installation. Chan states that through the poetry and performance, the audience will be infused with “short recollections that resonate the fantasies of an imaginary child”. Through this, the artist touches on dreams and fears of childhood in a whimsical yet visceral experience.
