"Kill Me or Change" is one of 13 artist project to
receive the Franklian Furnace grant award for
2011-2012.
Now I would like to invite you or your organization to help, and involve with this project, if you or your organization are interesting, please contact me at chin@123soho.com
Artist Chin Chih Yang creates a unique relationship between art and performance. The proposed project, Kill Me or Change, reflects the environmental movement slogan "Recycle or Die." This art event will challenge viewer-participants to contemplate the effects of over-consumption. The event, when realized, will mount 30,000 aluminum cans in a mesh net, suspended at the end of a crane and hovering over the head of the artist. The final execution will require an audience member to pull a string and (safely) release the contents- which represents the average consumption of cans over one person's lifetime- onto the head of Chin Chih Yang.
I am bringing this work to New York City,
to bring a message to the whole world.
