Exhibition

Where Time Runs Backwards by Daniel Shieh With Chia-Lun Chang and Arleene Correa Valencia

May 6 – October 1, 2023

Where Time Runs Backwards is an exhibition by Daniel Shieh featuring five new site-specific works created for LMCC’s Arts Center on Governors Island. Weaving personal history and cultural icons into sculptures that sing, rotate, hover, and shift, each work reflects the artist’s understanding of the United States and his place within American culture.

Daniel’s work is exhibited alongside poetry by Chia-Lun Chang and textile works by Arleene Correa Valencia. All three artists draw upon conversations with their parents about aspirations for their children and what becoming American entails. The title “Where Time Runs Backwards” refers to the artists’ means of self-determination—endlessly retracing the past decisions of their families in order to make sense of their future.
