Description

Please join us to welcome and meet our second Artist in Residence of 2021, Wen-Li Chen! Visual artist and designer Wen-Li Chen will explore rural intergenerational relationships as the Lanesboro Arts Artist in Residence from August 3 to August 28, 2021. During this Virtual Welcome Party, Chen will talk about her project and how community members can get involved throughout the residency. She'll also answer questions. As a part of reflective personal experience as well as the continuation to develop a series of works that try to spark conversation and reflection towards intergenerational issues through personal /family stories with archival materials, such as documents, photographs or an artifact, Chen's residency project works with the community from Lanesboro to continue dialogue and conversation about intergenerational issues that they encounter here in the States and compare with her experiences from the East to create a series of work. Come and learn about how you can participate in this month-long residency! About Wen-Li Chen Wen-Li Chen lives and works in St. Paul, Minnesota since 2015 after relocating from Taiwan.
