Kai Chan: A Spider's Logic

In his celebrated minimalist sculptures Kai Chan employs materials and techniques that speak to both tradition and modernity. Working with common objects such as thread, twigs and buttons, Chan alters the nature of what constitutes sculpture and what constitutes textiles by transforming elements of the natural world to evoke geographical boundaries and cultural influences. This 35-year retrospective publication features works created between 1975 and 2010. Essays by Shannon Anderson, Charles Guilbert, and Sarah Quinton. 88 pages 25.4 cm x 20.3 cm English, French Varley Art Gallery of Markham (2012) ISBN 978-0973589665
