The Wang Contemporary Guest House: Welcome Home
About this event
The Wang Contemporary Presents Guest House: Welcome Home, a Life-Size Wax Sculpture Installation by Artist Zhou Xuerong
Free and open to the public, the exhibition marks the artist’s institutional debut in the U.S
The show presents a series of life-size wax sculptures of familiar female icons from American pop culture in distinctly Chinese settings.
The exhibition offers a funny, thoughtful, unexpected rumination on identity and globalization. It officially opens on September 11 and will be on view free to the public every weekend for the rest of the month.
Founded by Ying and Alexander Wang, The Wang Contemporary opened this February with a performative installation by art collective MSCHF to celebrate the Lunar New Year. Guest House is TWC’s second activation, and a testament to its mission of amplifying Asian voices and building the New York stage many of them have never had.
