Chicago Lawn Branch hosts a 2018 Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month art exhibit during the month of May featuring artist Andy Li.
Through drawing, writing and sound, Li explores struggles and fascinations with acne, food and obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety around the violent potential of things. Andy examines and connects fragments of creatures, plants and rocks to reckon with this anxiety. For this work, Andy looks to the practices of poet Fred Moten, artist JooYoung Choi, and filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul, as well as projects in popular culture, like Animal Crossing, Undertale and The Great British Bakeoff.
