Ming Wong in Art in America: good start of the year
After a December vacation, das Kunstberlin is back! Recommendation to start 2014 well: read the great interview of Travis Jeppesen with Berlin artist Ming Wong, published in Art in America: http://www.artinamericamagazine.com/news-features/magazine/in-the-studio-ming-wong/
And more good news: Ming Wong will be showing his work in gallery Carlier-Gebauer, Berlin in March 2014.
Travis Jeppesen totally nails it in his introduction to the interview: "Before reading Wong's work as a theater of absurdity, which in many ways it is, credit must first be given to what is ultimately the artist's most disruptive gesture: through what he calls "impostoring", his insertion of people traditionally excluded from cinematic representation into cinema's traditional tropes, he endows those devices with new and often unsettling meanings.
