kenneth makes digital assemblages of current issues. he has tackled the environment, the 2010 election and the obama administration. this time kenneth draws from something a little closer to home. his digital prints provide commentary on online censorship in china. this was my fav of all his shows i've seen. the cup runneth over with praise last night. go check it out. up until july 2.
kenneth's US premiere of his vid "IN G.O.D. WE TRUST" is showing at postmasters tonight in gallery 2. opening reception from 6-8pm. also “The Thousand and One Nights,” an exhibition of palestinian art curated by mary evangelista with michael connor, is on view.
In Gallery 2 Postmasters will present “In G.O.D. We Trust” - a new digital video by Kenneth Tin-Kin Hung (G.O.D. is a stand-in for Global Obama Domination). Born in Hong Kong and now living in New York, Hung has been called "the John Heartfield of the digital era." His meticulously researched collages and animations composed entirely of imagery appropriated from the web deliver a biting political satire. "In G.O.D. We Trust" presents global and domestic challenges facing the new Obama administration with the savior president cast as different deities (Jesus Christ, Mohammad, Krishna, prophet Abraham, Yoruba Orisha Trickster God Elegua/Eshu, Buddha, and Guadalupe). In addition to the video, a large outdoors banner of “Buddha Siddartha Obama” will hang on the gallery’s façade.
best exhibit to get you in the election mood: residential erection at postmasters gallery. kenneth does amazing stuff and i'm fortunate to see some sneak peaks when i'm over at his and young's. three words: giant flip books. you won't be sorry. it's showing until may 10, so go go go.
