Shu Lea Cheang's most recent net-installation, "Garlic = Rich Air" will
open at the 50th Venice Biennale, June 15 and continue through November
2, 2003. Cheang's "Garlic = Rich Air" large-scale installation will be
exhibited at the Palazzo delle Prigioni, Castello 4209, San Marco and
online at http://www.rich-air.com. "Burn" and "Richair2030", two other
new works by Cheang, will also be presented at the Venice Biennale, in
"Zone of Urgency", curated by Hou Hanru.
Concurrently Cheang's "Garlic = Rich Air" will be presented at the
Whitney Museum of American Art's Artport, during the month of July and
at Julia Friedman Gallery, June 20 - August 2, 2003.
"Garlic = Rich Air", dated 2030, anticipates a post-capitalist society
where the global economy and currencies have collapsed and network
media has nearly crashed. The work envisions organic garlic as the new
social currency - bought, sold, and traded to establish a new and free
media trading system. "Garlic = Rich Air" sets forth a monetary
relationship between URL information and virtual garlic. Visitors are
invited to participate online at http://www.rich-air.com and submit
various URL addresses in return for virtual garlic, "G", as Cheang puts
it. At the close of the G-Mart, virtual "G" is cashed in for real
farm-grown organic garlic; a commodity that is desired and wholly
revered in the year 2030.
Shu Lea Cheang has previously exhibited in two Whitney Biennials,
Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; InterCommunication Center
(ICC), Tokyo; Walker Art Center, Minneapoli, The Project, New York and
recently at Palais de Tokyo, Paris, FACT, Liverpool and Public Netbase,
Vienna. She created the Guggenheim Museum's first web based art
project, entitled Brandon.
