Canada Week: Brendan Tang on his Joss paper sculptures
Listen now
Description
Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Brendan Tang. He describes himself as being from the remix generation using the concept of hybridity to blend historical influences with current technology in his multimedia sculptures. We talk about the Joss paper tradition and his recent exhibition “Reluctant Offerings,” which features a full-scale Ford F-150 that was made as a burnt offering to his ancestors. We also discuss his much-acclaimed ceramic series Manga Ormulu.
