WU TSANG

BORN 1982, Worcester, USA
LIVES&WORKS Zürich, Switzerland

Making and documenting art are the two faces of the same coin as we follow an artistic continuum from capturing a performance on film back to the performance itself. Wu Tsang documents the acts, both spontaneous and non-, of creating art in marginalized communities, especially sexual and racial minorities. A credo of hers is that historical, factual accuracy is a myth and forgoing it is of no consequence. “Established history is just a distortion, anyway.”
