Description:
Born in Hong Kong and later based in New York City, Tseng Kwong Chi (1950–1990) produced a large body of witty, playful, performance-based photography that both captured the pivotal downtown Manhattan art and club scenes of the 1980s and reflected the increasingly globalized movement of people across nations and continents. In so doing, he raised critical questions about identity and culture. Tseng Kwong Chi: Performing for the Camera is the first major solo museum exhibition of his works, which have long sparked the imaginations of younger artists. This exhibition features well-known works— such as Tseng’s collaborations with Keith Haring and his East Meets West and Expeditionary series— as well as examples from Tseng’s archive that have rarely been shown.
Tseng Kwong Chi: Performing for the Camera was organized by the Grey Art Gallery at New York University and the Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk, Virginia with the support of the Mapplethorpe Foundation The exhibition was conceived and curated by the late Amy Brandt, McKinnon Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Chrysler Museum of Art, and is presented in her memory. The Block Museum's presentation of Tseng Kwong Chi: Performing for the Camera has been generously supported by Zeynep Keyman and the David C. and Sarajean Ruttenberg Arts Foundation.
