WONG WAI YIN
Upon being asked for an archive on her artistic output since
childhood, Wong Wai Yin’s father’s commented, “I wasn’t sure what would be
considered contemporary art”. What do you think about this comment?
Much of Wong’s work deals with plausibility and
artificiality. What are your thoughts on making something representational
versus using the real thing? i.e. if she had hit them with a real chair, if she
had used real cigarettes and pencils. What benefit is derived from making
papier-mache copies of these objects?
Wong mentions a search for honesty in her work, and that she
is unable to make such a claim without losing honesty. What do you feel makes
up an honest work of art? Is art by its nature a trick in someway or another?
