Ye Funa: TRANSFORM.ME 易装 · 癖
Weekends, 11am to 5pm Saturday 10 February to Sunday 31 March
Beijing-based artist Ye Funa presents their audience-participatory installation TRANSFORM.ME [易装 · 癖] on the ground floor of 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art.
This transformative experience turns the gallery into a cyber grunge salon, paying homage to China's SMART (Sha-ma-te) subculture as it has evolved from rural provinces to the vibrant urban youth culture.
Blurring the lines between commercial display and art exhibition, TRANSFORM.ME [易装 · 癖] appropriates concepts of devices, display, reflection and image perfection. This dynamic space serves as a mirror for the rebirth and regeneration inherent in the online self-expression of populist street culture.
Artist: Ye Funa
