Inspired by the performance of Arnold Schwarzeneger in the so-called live exhibition “Articulate Muscle The Body As Art” at Whitney Museum in 1976, HUNGRY is a contemplation on body and its form; body as a kinetic sculpture. The live exhibition will focus on the notion of reshaping the body, artificiality of this act, yet the fascination around. Going back to the vigorous works of second wave feminists such as Valie Export, Carolee Schneeman, the live exhibition sees the posture as an archive, delves into the cliches of gender and searches ways of transgressing it. HUNGRY is a hyper assamblage, an archive of body postures; a TV spectacle, a compilation of various IG stories and a freak show. It’s a play of vaguely sexual sensibility, and the ambivalence between what is seen and what is hidden behind. The live exhibition consists of a four-channel video installation with a mini red crane and curtain; a scissor lift, a pole performance, a body building performance, a bodybuilding-burlesque performance and actions around.
