I-Ching: Drawing ink from stone

When

Saturday 10 February 2024 from 2pm to 3pm

Artist Kien Situ invites you to join him for an in-person tactile workshop on Lunar New Year’s Day. 

Situ’s sculptures and their auspicious dimensions are often directly informed by the I-Ching, an ancient Chinese divination text. 

Using pre-made modular blocks arranged on a slab, enjoy an I-Ching reading, generate a geometric hexagram and then place paper over the arranged tablet. 

With the artist's guidance, rub inkstones over rice paper placed on the sculptural reliefs, consequently creating ink copies of the ancient geometric forms of hexagrams. 

Situ is a featured artist at Passage Gallery. To dive deeper, join Kien and Passage Gallery for: Shadow Tectonics: In conversation with artist Kien Situ.

ARTIST BIO: 

Kien Situ is a multidisciplinary Asian-Australian artist working across architecture, sculpture, film and installation. His practice deals with ruin, distance and time and it exists to challenge, deconstruct and meditate on notions of space, heritage and identity as the ‘other’ in society. His installation ‘TECTONIC’ is currently showing at Passage Gallery.
