Biography
Frank Wang Yefeng was born in 1984 in Shanghai and is based in New York City and Shanghai. Initially trained as a sculptor, he works across video, experimental 3D animation, painting, drawing and writing. His work explores in-betweenness arising from a nomadic transnational existence. He has had residencies, fellowships and commissions at the K11 Art Foundation x ArtReview, Pratt Institute, Asia Art Archive in America, MacDowell and Vermont Studio Center. His work has been shown at High Line Originals, the Shanghai Museum of Glass, the BRIC Biennial, the OCAT Biennial in Shenzhen, CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art, Gasworks in London and the Jeju Museum of Contemporary Art. The Levitating Perils #2 is a five animation series featuring a floating red dragon drawn from Yellow Peril imagery, on a six hour rotation, with a human head with tentacled horns serving as an allegory for a transnational self. It is the Whitney's On the Hour project.
