Leelee Chan presents her solo exhibition "Hybrid Palimpsests" at He Art Museum in Foshan, China. The show explores sculpture as a layered site where biological, geological, industrial, and cultural histories converge, drawing on the concept of a palimpsest—a surface that has been written on, erased, and rewritten, leaving earlier traces visible beneath later layers.
The exhibition matters because it reframes sculpture as a medium for interrogating deep time and material memory, challenging viewers to consider what knowledge is embedded in objects beyond their surface appearance. By engaging with multiple temporalities, Chan's work contributes to contemporary conversations about ecology, history, and the Anthropocene, positioning her as a significant voice in current sculptural practice.
