BASIC CHINESE
Since the beginning of the 1990s - and under the spell of Edwar Said"s work on "orientalism", I have been learning mostly eastern languages as part of my art work. So far, Japanese, Korean, Russian *east of Europe, and since 1999 Chinese. I still keep learning even though t this web site doesn t comprise all of my chinese related works -
Basic characteristics: I tape it all - to show the impossibility of representation; I use my study sheets as works on paper, I make related works where language issues are central.
Learning, Reading and Teaching are part of my central part of my art work : best shown here in a larger survey show at Wallach Gallery, the Columbia University Museum in New York 2005.
