Contemporary at Blue Star will present their first installation of the new year, "Moonment," an ongoing, touring project by artist Sizhu Li.

Inspired by her Chinese heritage, "Moonment" draws from the Tang Dynasty poem "海上升明月，天涯共此" (Gazing at the Moon, Longing from Afar) by Jiuling Zhang. In this moving work, Zhang captures the connection between people who, though separated across vast distances, share in gazing upon the same moon rising above the sea.

In "Moonment," each site-specific installation uses sheets of aluminum hanging from the ceiling to the floor, with programmed fans propelling the sheets to move, visibly and audibly mimicking the waves of the ocean. Nearby, a heart-shaped moon constructed from a piece of metal and a circulating wooden baton create the heartbeat of the ocean’s tides.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display through May 4.
