Start time: 13:00 Artist Grace Lau recreates a 19th century Chinese portrait, offering free photos to the public! As part of a new public art project, artist Grace Lau will recreate a 19th century Chinese portrait studio at Solaris Print in St Leonards-on-Sea, inviting the public to sit for free photographic portraits! Portraits In a Chinese Studio is based on the artist’s research into studio portraits made by 19th-century and early 20th-century Western photographers in China. She realised that Chinese subjects were placed in a Victorian studio setting as ‘exotic subjects’ and ‘unusual beings’. Lau’s project highlights this relationship and reverses the roles for 21st-century participants. Visit Grace at Solaris Print (76 Norman Road St Leonards-on-Sea, TN38 0EJ) from 29 May to 8 June.
