Artist Chin Chih Yang will present his interactive performance art piece “Kill Me or Change” in front of the Queens Museum of Art. Buried by 30,000 aluminum cans that will be dropped on the artist, the project examines the effects of over-consumption in modern society in a form that is both provocative and playful.
Chin Chih Yang suspends 30,000 aluminum cans--the average number of cans one person throws away over a lifetime--contained in a mesh net which is suspended 30 feet above ground in a crane, which hovers over the audience. As the finale to each performance the contents of the net will be released onto Yang’s head, in a colorful and overwhelming display of aluminum waste. By showing, quite literally, the suffocating effects of one person’s personal polluting, Yang hopes this piece will serve as a call to action for audience members to examine their habits of personal consumption.
I asked these artists if they would mind a photo being taken whilst they worked on this wonderful view....

AN EXCITING, CHALLENGING AND EDGY EXHIBITION
Following the resounding success of the original exhibition of 2008.
ART-ON-THE-EDGE returns with another amazing show of inspiring and fantastical artwork by local, independent artists, showing the scope, diversity and dynamism of artisan artwork.
After the tragic loss of the exhibition’s co-founder David Capes, the theme of this exhibition is “Memory”, and there will be part of the show commemorating his life and works as an artist blacksmith.
ART-ON-THE-EDGE will once again be staged at the atmospheric
Glebe Farm Barn
Carton Forehoe, near Barnham Broom, Norfolk
Saturday 21st August until Sunday 5th September 2010
10.30am until 6.00pm.
The exhibition is aimed at being an all-round art experience, with the individual art-pieces being situated within the installation of the barn itself, art within art, bringing a greater sense of personal involvement for those who visit, proving, once again that ART-ON-THE-EDGE is no ordinary art show.
The art on show will include 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional work, metal and multi- media sculpture, wood and stone carving, painting, video and installation work, all dynamic and innovative in nature.
In December 2007 we adopted two cats from the Oregon Humane Society, an orange kitten we named Sam and a black cat we named Emma.
The Humane Society had some temporary cardboard cat carriers that had been festively decorated for the holidays and we soon discovered just how temporary her carrier would be. Once home we left her in it briefly while setting up her room and soon discovered Emma hanging halfway out of the side of the carrier, having chewed a hole in the side large enough to get halfway out but not quite large enough to make her escape.
We freed her once we got inside and so began our wonderful journey together.
