Barbara and Steven Grossman Gallery

Organized in the form of a continued dialogue and culminating with the production of a multimedia publication, "Histories of Now: A Space for Dialogue, Art and Activism" transforms the gallery into a site of international and local exchanges focusing on current events in Egypt, and using these events as a means of discussing a multiplicity of contemporary social movements.

Lynn Lu is a visual artist from Singapore. She received her BFA from Carnegie Mellon University, her MFA at the San Francisco Art Institute, completed a Doctoral program at Musashino Art University in Tokyo (ABD) and earned her PhD in Fine Arts at the University of Newcastle in Australia. She lives and works in London where she is an Associate Lecturer at Southampton Solent University. Lu exhibits, performs and lectures extensively throughout Asia, Oceania, Europe and the Americas. Recent venues include the Singapore Art Museum (2012), Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA), Singapore (2011), Tate Modern (2010) and 798 Art Zone, Beijing (2009). Lu looks at the connection between experiential knowledge and the innate human capacity for empathy in relation to a genre of performance art she calls "gutty." This gutty form of performance relies heavily on empathy to create meaning that is not merely conceptual but also affective and visceral. Find our more at her website: http://www.lynnlu.info
