Wang Rou: SHOW

Duration: 2017. January 1 – February 4
Venue: 3F, CREATER SPACE, No.888 Huashan Road, Shanghai

Content:
Put together from material generated from engagements with 网肉 WANG ROU’s network (online and offline), SHOW hypothesizes the internet as a paranoid’s corridor that strings together gestures of avoidance as an interpassive ‘life’ flow revolving around the desire for control one invests in a user name.

The name ‘ 网肉 Wang Rou’ and the fictional brand ‘Saito’ holds together the very same network that Wang Rou attempts to take apart, as the narrative that undermines him.

In exhibiting 11 episodes of SHOW over 4 weeks, we present this to you, a comedy of errors generated from the process of dividing yourself between IRL decay and sterile avoidance.

The Table is covered with white foam board. The audience has to peep from the carved holes to watch the videos, where the screens are decorated with trash, as a metaphor of internet trash.
