Lucie Chan
Vicky Chainey Gagnon & Ray Cronin
This first monograph on the work of Lucie Chan includes documentation of all her work thus far and features essays which discuss the themes of Chan’s new body of work (The Tears project) as well as her recent shift towards animation. While developing the Tears project Chan drew on her experiences interviewing recent immigrants to Canada. Chan’s poetic animations are based on her interactions with these individuals and their personal histories and experience. Over twenty-five color photographs document the two site-specific installations. Published in association with the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia. In English and French.

Lucie Chan : Something to Carry
Ingrid Jenkner & James R. Shirley
Chan assembles multi-figure ink drawings on bond into composite, booth-like structures suspended from the ceiling. Spatially, her drawing installations evoke the elsewhere of diasporic yearning. Shirley's essay compares Chan's use of drawing with the work of Ed Pien and William Kentridge. With artist's biography and bibliographic references.
