And a seagull screams at the night’s sky
And the sad sea sighs – goodbye”

Wu Chi-Tsung is interested in how images are made and seen. Landscape, nature and the urban environment feature in his work and the themes are central to the national Recalibrate
programme. Although his early influences come from painting, specifically Eastern shan shui works and Western watercolour landscapes, his powerful work is often realised through video, photography, installation and performance.
The Lancaster edition of Recalibrate is a unique split-site exhibition between Peter Scott Gallery and the dramatic grade II listed gallery at The Storey that will present artworks that
include the all-encompassing installation Crystal City 004 (a newly commissioned work for Recalibrate), cyanotypes from the Wrinkled Textures series and several examples from Wu Chi-Tsung’s elegant landscape and still life video works.
The Peter Scott Gallery will also be exhibiting a display of their Chinese art collection alongside the Recalibrate exhibition.
Free entry to both sites.
Recalibrate partners: Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art (Manchester), Live at LICA and The Storey (Lancaster), Site Gallery (Sheffield)
Sponsored by: Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture
Supported by: Arts Council England and NICE
