Intended more as a exploratory discussion than a formal lecture, this talk looks at the works of Ming Wong, a performance artist based in Singapore and Berlin who has recently attracted significant attention for his investigations of beauty, translation, and the place of appropriation. Ms. Kee is an Assistant professor in the History of Art department at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. An authority in the field of contemporary art in East and Southeast Asia, she has published extensively on the subject, including articles for the Oxford Art Journal, Artforum, Art Journal, as well as forthcoming essays in Art History and Art Bulletin.
This event is part of the Visting Scholar Program
The Visiting Scholar Program is organized to explore the discipline of art history—its cultural connections, its methodological pursuits, and its changing nature—by focusing extensively on the research and insights of individual academic experts. Three to five highly regarded art historians and/or art critics speak at a public lecture presenting current research and published papers. During their week long visit they work closely with graduate students enrolled in the visiting scholar seminar class.
