AFR has a story on artist Rose Wong by Lisa Murray. Beijing-based Rose Wong who has recently completed an international residency at Sydney’s TWT Creative Precinct shares about her views on sex, power and Utopia.
Lisa Murray writes:
“Rose Wong’s female-empowering installations are all the more relevant in the #MeToo era.”
“Moving abroad is like taking your heart out of your body and putting it somewhere else to see if the soil is good and it grows.”
“One of her most famous works is a series of grenades, cut in half, and painted as fruit on the inside. Wong says the grenades, which were shown as part of a group exhibition at Vermilion Art gallery last year, are about ‘sex and power’.”
