Tuesday, September 6, 2011, from 5:30PM to 7:30PM

Office of the Manhattan Borough President, 1 Centre Street, 19th Floor, Manhattan

Chee Wang Ng will exhibit his installation, 9/11 Memorial Installation in Red White Blue, at three locations during the month of September to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the September 11th tragedy. Ng’s installation cries for the nation’s loss by transforming a simple bowl of rice with chopsticks stuck in it vertically, taboo in the Chinese culture and eerily resembling the Twin Towers, sitting on top of a table cloth surrounded by candles representing the US flag, to honor the innocent lives lost. A low murmuring Buddhist prayer of salvation for the dead is heard in chants emanating from under the low circular table.

Ng has previously spoken at AAARI on September 17, 2010, www.aaari.info/10-09-17Ng.htm.

Installation is produced by AAARI, together with Office of the Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, Confucius Institute at Pace University, and New Jersey City University.
