Professor Ying Kit Chan exhibits at Artspace in Oklahoma City
Environmental ethics-a philosophical study of the moral relationship between human beings and nature and the value that society extends to the environment-is a reoccurring theme in Ying Kit Chan's more than three decades of art making. Utilizing a wide range of media, the artist employs this philosophy alongside Taoist and Buddhist ideologies to examine our relationship with nature, from the mental impact of contemplation to the actions resulting in environmental degradation. The works selected for "GeoEthics" highlight the artist's conceptual development and explore environmental ethics through three themes: oil spills, industrial landscapes, and philosophical thought.
Exhibition: May 26 to July 16, 2016
Reception: Thursday, May 26 at 5-8 pm; Gallery talk: 6 pm
