Li Wei, Flying Over Venice, Photo to be shown at Sculpture Inside, 2016. Photo supplied by the artist.
Sculpture by the Sea is very excited to introduce the wonderful Li Wei from China at this year’s 2016 Cottesloe exhibition thanks to funding from Tourism WA .
Li Wei’s work is an extraordinary mix of performance art and photography. Using acrobatics, props, cranes and wires, the artist is world renowned for his surprising, dramatic and often amusing performance installation that depicts him in photographs in gravity-defying situations.
Li Wei will be creating and presenting up to three photo performances during the course of his stay in Cottesloe. The photographs produced by the artist during the performance will be available to view in the Sculpture Inside gallery, upstairs at the Cottesloe Surf Life Saving Club.
Dates and times of the performances will be announced shortly.
