A two-year project in which Gayle Chong Kwan developed new work to reference, celebrate and critique the Grand Tour and its relationship to contemporary tourism, master planning, waste and landscape traditions within fine art. It directly references the historic Grand Tour – the traditional ‘rites-of-passage’ form of travel by upper-class young European men first begun in the 17th Century. The tour is a programme of new work by Gayle Chong Kwan presented at mac, Birmingham; Arts Co, London, Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto, Italy; and ArtSway, Hampshire. Supported by National Touring, Arts Council England.  www.thegrandtour.gaylechongkwan.com

Commissioned by Centro de Desarollo Cultural de Moravia, Medelin, Colombia

 

 

 

 

 

 


Gayle Chong Kwan worked in the community of Moravia in Medellin in Colombia to develop a large-scale epic photographic work ‘Moravia Memoryscape’ (2009) which was installed on the side of buildings that had been torn down in the neighbourhood. She worked with community members and local recycling and reclamation small enterprises which collect, sort and re-use and re-cycle the waste materials upon which the neighbourhood is built, Referring to hopes and aspirations for the future development of Moravia as well as acting as a kind of ghostly poetic memory of its past.
