On View: December 7, 2024-January 18, 2025 Gallery Hours: 10:00am – 5:00PM
Reception: Saturday, December 7, 4:00-6:00PM
This exhibit highlights the artist’s felt constructions of houses from across the globe and even some drawn from imagination. This series illustrates the permeability of our constructed environment while highlighting the ways we imprint upon homes and dwellings. This interest is also reflected in the artist’s Sewing on Houses series, concurrently on view. These double-sided drawings are embellished with thread over ink, echoing architectural features which build into bas relief upon the drawing’s face. Gallery visitors to this exhibition will also have the opportunity to work on a new, participatory artwork by the artist celebrating the facade of the NACC in its centennial year. The completed work will be donated to the NACC for permanent display, courtesy of the artist.
About the Artist:
Miggie Wong creates situation-based performative projects. As a native of Hong Kong, living in the Netherlands, and migrating to the United States in the early 2000s, Wong’s intercultural experiences continue to diversify her artistic approaches and ideals. As such, she offers whimsical experiments that explore and document ideas of social interaction, cultural mutation, radical hospitality, and acts of sincerity.
Wong holds a BFA from the California Institute of the Arts and a MS in Creative Studies from SUNY Buffalo State University. Wong currently lives bi-coastal between Los Angeles and Buffalo.
