SUMMARY:CAA Public Lecture: Tongji Philip Qian - The Diary of An Encounter 
 Which Seemed to Have Never Happened
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free\, public lecture from Visiting Artist Tongji
  Philip Qian. In his lecture\, The Diary of An Encounter Which Seemed to H
 ave Never Happened\, he will discuss fluid interpretations of artist respo
 nsibilities\, locating and subsequently negotiating with the intersections
  among rigid "truth\," package "identity\," and time- and location-specifi
 c pursuit of freedom.\n\nTongji Philip Qian is a multidisciplinary artist
  and the co-founder of TPQ Studio. His artistic practice extends the limit
  of artmaking through conceptual lenses such as speed\, labor\, internatio
 nalism\, and immigration. His art writing\, on the other hand\, studies mo
 vements commonly associated with Minimalism\, Post-Minimalism\, and Concep
 tual art.\n\nTongji Philip Qian’s current exhibition\, Alloyed Commitmen
 ts is on view at the Logan Center for the Arts in Chicago. Read more about
  the project in a review by New City Art or the University of Chicago's st
 udent newspaper\, the Chicago Maroon. Other recent projects include Neighb
 orly Passport Keep Right Except to Pass (2023)\, Questionnairing Reality (
 2021)\, and Art Beside a Single Handshake (2020). His work is housed in a 
 number of public and private collections\, such as the Asia Art Archive in
  America\, Center for Book Arts\, and the RISD Museum.\n\n[caption id="att
