Catherine Maudsley Talks about Curating Wesley Tongson Exhibition

Description

“Wesley Tongson – The Journey” was held at the Chinese Culture Center in San Francisco from 12 October 2018 to 9 March 2019. This boldly curated exhibition of just 23 works used the power of contrast to convey the artist’s exceptional creative growth. In this evening’s curator talk, Maudsley explores the Hong Kong context that supported the ink artist’s deep inquiry into spiritual teachings from many religious traditions. All attendees will receive a complimentary copy of the fully illustrated, bilingual publication Wesley Tongson – The Journey.
