Ming Wong: Next Year

Ming Wong’s solo exhibition at UCCA, his first in Beijing, presents a selection of his films and photographs alongside a newly commissioned installation and performance. Wong’s new creations stem from his recent ongoing research on the modernization of Cantonese opera and the history of science fiction in formerly Communist countries, resulting in his recombination of films including Last Year at Marienbad and Solaris with this Southern Chinese vein of theater. By linking these traditional modalities with the outdated futurism of science fiction, Wong’s exhibition outlines a trajectory of utopian imagery through two separate but interrelated systems of cultural production.
