Floating Cities! Perspective! Blood, String & Jade!

On episode 1 of FieldPod season 3 Jacob Rhodes and Kris Racaniello dive into fall and, of course, fall in New York means Spring/Break Art Show with Fay Ku! Fay is Field Project’s featured artist at Spring Break this year in our exhibition Axonometric Tongue. Ku’s immersive, axonometric installation proposes Ming Dynasty art as a radical alternative to the hegemonic eye of single point perspective. Axonometric Tongue flips the hierarchy, generating an alternate, anti-Italian Renaissance timeline wherein single-minded colonialism is eradicated by the contextual poetics of Mandarin structures.

On this episode we talk about Fay’s formative trip to Rome, and her recent return to Italy to teach in Venice for Pratt. How do “museumified” cities affect us? What changes in space when we change our clothing? How do the poetics of the desert play out differently in drawing than the dynamics of the city? Fay discusses how traveling brings you back to who you are and what you want to be. As an artist born in Taiwan and raised in the United States, Fay also discusses stradling White European renaissance ideals as an artist and her connection with axonometric drawing and historical Chinese methods of perspective.
