‘The Grand Tour’ by Gayle Chong Kwan
Publication Launch: Saturday 23 May 2009 at 3pm, ArtSway
The 72-page, full-colour publication will be launched at ArtSway. ‘The Grand Tour’ is an ambitious book documenting Chong Kwan’s six-part touring exhibition featuring a critical text by Camilla Brown, and an essay discussing the origins of the historic Grand Tour by Professor Edward Chaney.
‘The Grand Tour’ is a series of exhibitions presenting new work by Gayle Chong Kwan at mac, Birmingham; Arts Co, London; Artsway, New Forest, Hampshire and Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto, Biella, Italy.
‘The Grand Tour’ is a two-year project in which Chong Kwan has developed new work to reference, celebrate and critique ‘The Grand Tour’, and its relationship to contemporary tourism, master planning, waste and landscape traditions within fine art. The Grand Tour is supported by Chinese Arts Centre, Manchester, and Funded by Arts Council England. ‘The Grand Tour En Route’ work was commissioned by Ville de Paris and Pepinieres.
