Phillip Chen and Tomas Vu: When After Comes Before
@ A+D Gallery
619 S Wabash Ave, Chicago, IL 60605
Opening Thursday, January 27th, from 5PM - 8PM
On view through Saturday, February 12th
Drawing from personal experiences, memories and written history, Phillip Chen‘s and Tomas Vu‘s work incorporates both long departed and surviving traditions, beliefs, objects and landscapes, positioning all firmly with in a contemporary context. The push and pull of yesterday and today is encompassed in the very materiality of the work, constructed using computer-controlled technologies such as laser cutters combined with old-school hand printmaking. Their work is at once a documentation and a schematic diagram of the present as seen through the past and the past as seen through the present.
