Utilizing the Asian Art Museum as a nexus where past and future, East and West, and institutions and individuals all meet, Ma Li presents Gathering Among Stars. Li’s “living sculpture” will draw inspiration from the centuries old Lantern Festival in China, where crowds gather to light and watch lanterns, marking the “release” of one’s old self in order to begin anew. Inviting audience members to participate in a similar transformation, the artist will lead the group in the construction of a site-specific, nomadic installation.
Through the Artist-in-Residence program at Recology, Ma Li will use recycled materials to explore the museum’s role as an important point of intersection and interaction. By joining Li in the transformation of discarded materials into art, audience members will celebrate a luminous and more hopeful future, with less waste.
