Chin Chih Yang Launches “Kill Me or Change” on Earth Day - The Queens Museum of Art proudly presents:Chin Chih Yang: Kill Me or Change
Sunday, April 22, 12:00 pm – 5:00 pm, 2012
Performances by the artist on July 28 and 29, 2012

Kill Me or Change, an interactive performance art piece by Taiwan-born artist Chin Chih Yang, will commence on April 22, Earth Day, and conclude with performances on July on July 28 and 29, when 30,000 aluminum beverage cans will be progressively dropped on the artist’s head from a crane above, ultimately burying him under a mountain of shiny, colorful, and ubiquitous aluminum waste. As a preview, on April 22 the artist will hang a bundle of 1,000 cans suspended by netting above the heads of museum visitors, who may “adopt” the cans that will be used by signing a can or writing comments, and may also attend an all-day workshop with the artist to make their own can artworks. Kill Me or Change focuses attention on the impact of personal consumption on the environment, and the importance of recycling.

Towson University - ASIAN ARTS & CULTURE CENTER - Exhibition: Mathematics of Light
by Chin Chih Yang
Asian Arts Gallery, Center for the Arts
June 29 - July 31, 2012

Chin Chih Yang's "Mathematics of Light" is sculpture/installation made of cans and other recyclable materials, which signals a conservation aesthetic in a society for the most part dedicated to waste. Not only do the cans have aesthetic features, such as shape, color, texture, and a certain relationship to light, they are themselves representations of what might have gone on to pollute the planet, had they not been put to more creative ends. Also: essential to "Mathematics of Light" is the use of modern and emergent technologies, enabling the artist to create an immersive environment participants can interact with and even move about in.

This exhibition is part of The Bridges Conference 2012.
