In artists, status anxiety ArtworkExhibitionPublicationArchiveReference materials
In artists, status anxiety - a long-term research project that I started in 2023, focusing on mental anxieties of contemporary art and artists. It extends from my pervious art-writing “Knowledge Anxiety of Contemporary Elites” and related before research and artworks. The research aims to reflect on the social and intellectual work of contemporary artists and explore the connection between personal and artistic identity. It also examines how contemporary art can maintain its openness and criticality in a society inundated with overwhelming media and information.
The opening chapter exhibition titled "In artists, status anxiety (2024)“ take place in Hong Kong, and a collection of art-writing book titled "I mentioned during an fine art major interview that I was reading books by ancient Greek poets and I got the offer. At that moment, I felt disgusting"
