Chin Chih Yang's
Kill Me or Change

July 28 and 29, 2012
Queens Museum of Art
Flushing Meadows Corona Park
Queens, NY 11368

Kill Me or Change, an interactive performance art piece by Taiwan-born artist Chin Chih Yang, will commence on April 22, Earth Day, and conclude with performances on later July, when 30,000 aluminum beverage cans will be progressively dropped on the artist’s head from a crane above, ultimately burying him under a mountain of shiny, colorful, and ubiquitous aluminum waste. As a preview, on April 22 the artist will hang a bundle of 1,000 cans suspended by netting above the heads of museum visitors, who may “adopt” the cans that will be used by signing a can or writing comments, and may also attend an all-day workshop with the artist to make their own can artworks. Kill Me or Change focuses attention on the impact of personal consumption on the environment, and the importance of recycling.
