<\/a><\/div>\nOn July 28th and 29th, artist Chin Chih Yang will present his interactive performance art piece, \u201cKill Me or Change\u201d, at the Queens Museum of Art. Buried by 30,000 aluminum cans that will be dropped on the artist in a provocative and playful project that examines the effects of over-consumption in modern society.<\/p>\n
Chin Chih Yang suspends 30,000 aluminum cans\u2014the average number of cans one person throws away over a lifetime\u2014contained in a mesh net suspended 30 feet above ground in a crane which hovers over the audience. As the finale to each performance, the contents of the net will be released onto Yang\u2019s head, in a colorful and overwhelming display of aluminum waste. By showing, quite literally, the suffocating effects of one person\u2019s personal polluting, Yang hopes this piece will serve as a call to action, and that audience members and the public at large will examine their habits of personal consumption.<\/p>\n
\u201cKill Me or Change\u201d will be presented at the Queens Museum of Art, located at the New York City Building in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, on Saturday, July 28 and Sunday July 28 at 2:00pm.
