New York based artist C. Spencer Yeh will be having his first solo exhibition in Hong Kong at Empty Gallery. On the upper floor, he will present a new 7-hour video work entitled Shocking Asia, with inspiration from the series of 1970s “mondo” films of the same name directed by German exploitation filmmaker Rolf Olsen, in which European film crews go to Asia on a pseudo-ethnographic quest to document the perversity, barbarity, and backwardness of the ‘Far East’. On the lower floor, there’ll be old videos with Yeh’s practice as a self-taught vocal improvisor as both material and subject.
