Temple Toys by Max Li
July 19, 2026 – September 20, 2026
Epiphany Center for the Arts, 201 S Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL 60607, USA
Temple Toy brings together tintypes, calligraphy, photographs, writings, and sculptural objects developed through Max Li’s ongoing relationship with Chicago, sacred space, memory, and everyday life. Moving between improvisation and ritual, the exhibition treats objects as emotional devices, small monuments, jokes, relics, and temporary sites of attention. Ancient forms, toy-like materials, devotional gestures, and contemporary fragments coexist within a playful and open-ended landscape where sacredness appears not as certainty, but as a shifting human condition.
