Madly Into Night, 1 minute 24 seconds from 5 minutes 30 seconds, 2007

Set in Bavaria, I fragment three realities; the global shame of the holocaust, local history of Ludwig II's colurful, mysterious rule, and personal love story of a Munich inhabitant. Assuming both role of the mad king and fated empress Sissi, I deploy physicality of body to enact my internal interpretation of these truths in relation to specific locations and prop/objects.

CROSSING DOCUMENTARY

Socking, Excerpt 2.5 minutes from 20 minutes.

My video 'Socking' platforms the voices in the UK textile and sock industry, delving into the vestiges and struggles of an industry in decline and cost implications to our environment. From the turning process of an established Nottingham sock manufacturer to origin of yarn and newly born goats of a Devon farm to ambitions of eco-aware production process.

Beyond The Arch, 2007

1 minute excerpt from 15 minutes

The video was commissioned as part of a one night event– Beyond The Arch celebrating Chinese New Year, 2007 at Walk The Plank, Liverpool.

Departing from 19th century Blue Funnel Line, through boarding houses, laundrettes and arriving at present day Liverpool-Shanghai twinning. Chinatown and it's place within the city’s flux is set in context of its inhabitants and shifting historical, social, and economic transitions, juxtaposed with the artist's personal memories.

Residency La Friche de la Belle de Mai, Marseille, France, August-September 2009

Exhibition Art fair: Art-O-Rama, France, 11th-26th September 2009

www.art-o-rama.fr

The Bauhaus lab Marseille proposes an art residency inspired by Moholy-Nagy’s journey to Marseilles in 1929. His experimental film "Marseille Vieux-Port" will be the starting point for a reflection led by resident artists. Marseille’s urban development, a contemporary reinterpretation of the Bauhaus, and interdisciplinarity will also be discussed. A lecture programme orchestrated by actors from various fields of the arts, architecture and urbanism will feed this research process.

During the residency, ten artists from various fields - video, performance, sound, photography- will work within the structure. Lectures open to the public as well as multimedia workshops for children will also take place during those 3 weeks. During the exhibition period (2 weeks), the structure will host the works created by artists.

On invitation from Bauhaus Lab

ARTIST HERITAGE AND CONTEMPORARY PRACTICE

http://www.cornerhouse.org/events/info.aspx?ID=1516&page =0

Kai-Oi Jay Yung explores her Chinese heritage and interdisciplinary practice, offering a unique personal insight into her artistic process that traverses an international diaspora of voices, platforms and processes. From FACT to Istanbul Biennial, the Sock to King Ludwig II, how does Contemporary Chinese art across the diaspora hinge upon its heritage? An hour’s discussion and debate will follow with an opportunity to discuss the contemporary art scene and marketplace via an E-Space Lab connection to Shanghai and a panel of locally based curators and artists.

Alongside artists, designers and friends of the cultural circles in Hong Kong, invited to design unique donation boxes exhibited and used for fund-raising at Artist Commune between in June. Within 2008, the boxes will be actively placed in various upcoming art events and opening ceremonies as part of our fund-raising efforts.

My Projects

PARADISE STORIES, programme of Liverpool European Capital of Culture 2008

www.myspace.com/paradisestories

Paradise Stories simultaneously inhabited the space of two contrasting Liverpool venues. The highly polished traditionally architecture/design space of the Renew Rooms housed my interdisciplinary recreation and interpretation of Paradise whilst I deployed alternative space of The International Gallery to orchestrate works of selected international artists who deal with the utopian thematic complementarily. Surely more paradise for more inhabitants...
