Isaac Tin Wei Lin at Temple Contemporary
Temple Contemporary opens Time Lines : First Words (August 30-December 9), a floor-to-ceiling exhibition of new works by Philadelphia-based contemporary artist Isaac Tin Wei Lin, whose densely covered surfaces of calligraphic, brushed and hand-drawn patterns immerse viewers in the logic and complexity of written language.
