For his 70th-birthday year, Hong Kong artist Wallace Chan opens two simultaneous site-specific installations at the Venice Biennale — “Vessels of Other Worlds” at the Chapel of Santa Maria della Pieta and “Mythos” at Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo — both linked by live transmission to full-scale counterparts at Shanghai’s Long Museum. Chan coaxes titanium, a stubborn metal he’s spent decades mastering as a jeweler, into forms that look like dripping sacred oil, echoing Catholic, Buddhist, and Tintoretto-era iconographies in a single material vocabulary. The result is a dual-site dialogue between European chapel and Chinese museum, screened in real time as portals between contexts. Source: Cool Hunting
