Chan King Long, Ken first overseas solo exhibition: What Glows in the Wind
Solo Exhibition in Venice 2 Oct 26 - 31 Oct 26
2 - 31 October 2026
In What Glows in the Wind, Chan King Long, Ken responds to displacement, uncertainty and the enduring search for belonging in a changing world. Wild blossoms sway in the storm, fireworks and ash dissolve into the night sky, while solitary figures gaze towards distant shores. Across these scenes, fragments of everyday life move between stillness and motion, departure and arrival.
The exhibition extends Chan's artistic dialogue from his March 2026 solo exhibition What Hums in the Rain, presented by Contemporary by Angela Li in Hong Kong, bringing his inward contemplation of a changing world into a new geographical and cultural context. If What Hums in the Rain invites us to listen to the subtle sounds beneath the noise, What Glows in the Wind asks a further question: when everything around us is in motion, what are we drawn towards, and where are we going?
For Chan, art becomes a moment of pause--a space where scattered memories, emotions and possibilities can gather. Through every encounter and parting, seeds gather within the fissures to take root once more.
