Su-en Wong was born in Singapore but now lives in Willamsburg, Brooklyn.

From Danese:
“The works continue Wong’s investigation of the “self? within complex worlds that embrace contradiction as a condition of existence – eroticism and innocence, humor and pathos, the individual and everywoman, fantasy and reality.”

Wow.

Get a piece of the monster from Motomichi.

From his website:
“Motomichi Nakamura was born in Tokyo, Japan. After graduating from Parsons School of Design in New York he moved to Ecuador where he started working as an artist. He returned to the U.S. in 2000 and currently lives and works in Brooklyn.”

“The subjects in his work often reflect a conflictive nature and can be frightening yet humorous, part human and part monsters. They can also appear at once childlike and sexually deviated. The use of color in both his digital work and in his paintings is limited to black, red and white.”

Ujino Muneteru (宇治野宗?)
From Ujino’s web site:
“Tokyo based Muneteru produces work informed by the urban experience, domesticity fused with club and dance music, the interpretation of musical histories, technological capabilities and the sophisticated transformation of domestic and popular ready-made objects into hybrid musical instruments. Muneteru’s practice is concerned with adaptations of language – musical, written and spoken, and the common connection established through a ‘lost in translation’ experience of dance culture. Controlling the performance from a platform of turntables, switch panels and instruments made from found recycled articles including a blender, hair-dryer, electric drill, food processor and bicycle, Muneteru’s sounds trigger responses from the vehicle, which flashes in time with the variable beats.”

GS: What is your favorite recipe?

NC: Fowl Ka-Pow! as nicknamed by my friends (otherwise known as 5 spice chicken)
So simple and delicious, it’s a pretty fail safe recipe of a whole chicken marinated in soy sauce, chinese 5 spice powder, garlic and olive oil and then baked in the oven for around an hour, served with rice and greens… It’s not quite ‘Iron Chef’ material but it’s still a winner none the less! just the thought is making me chew my pen!
