After the huge success of his solo project, Chan Wai Lap has recreated the Lonesome Changing Room 2 at Contemporary by Angela Li. By constructing a changing room-like, private environment within a public space, Chan invites the audience to reinvestigate the relationship between individuality and the community, in response to the pandemic. The exhibition is an integration of the artist’s research and personal experience, and presents an opportunity for visitors to act as intruders to the artist’s or other people’s privacy, creating an intimate dialogue. Alongside usual objects seen in a changing room, such as lockers and showers, on show will be Chan’s latest series of paintings and installations created in the past year. As soon as the audience step into the space, they discover bits and pieces of Chan’s observation offstage, hence an intimate dialogue with the artist is immediately induced. “The Lonesome Changing Room 2” opening reception will be held at 5 – 8 pm, Thur 3 Jun, with special performance by Chan Wai Lok, Ivan Chan and Leung Tin Chak.

Gallery address: 248 Hollywood Road, Sheung Wan
