About the Exhibition:
From February 9 - March 10, 2005, the 25000
Cultural Transmission Center will become a simulated "house,"
that of Ding Ding. In Ding Ding's living room one will find,
plastered on the walls Ding Ding's narcissistic pictures
juxtaposed next to pictures taken from the "real"
life of Ding Ding, balloons, house plants, and unique ornamental
lamps scattered throughout, and a table adorned with a special
cake in the shape of Ding Ding that you can partake of (for
closing reception only). The study is filled with picture
albums, small novelty works, books, piles of scrap paper,
and uncompleted work scattered on the worktable. In the
bedroom one finds, a doll resting on the bed, and cosmetic
supplies. In the bathroom, emotive with the things that
one sees when using the toilet, is the site where friends
who stop by to visit can dress up, apply make up, and make
things. So come along, this exhibition is moving, interactive,
and participatory. One the first day, the pictures on the
walls are those Ding Ding has taken of herself. With the
photos taken from participating audience members who dress
up and leave an image, the wall will slowly be covered,
so that when the closing reception is held, it will be completely
full.
As Ding Ding says: Welcome to my home, see
what we're doing here, and come on in and join us in creating
some fun!
