Emmelines is pleased to present Craig Jun Li’s If you were there, you’d know. The window displays a tableau of rephotographed negatives from Wham! in China: Foreign Skies, the second cut made of the film documenting the musical group’s 1985 tour. A painting retouched from an old family photo may be visited in the office. A takeaway text is available at the desk. These works developed in the course of Li’s ongoing conversation and collaboration with Los Angeles-based artist Glen Fogel. If you were there, you’d know was conceived in conjunction with Li’s forthcoming exhibition I Want to Love with No Fear, opening January 9, 2026 at Chapter NY and directly accessible via the Canal St E station.
