Smack Mellon – Brooklyn, New York (USA).

Curated by RACHEL STAINBERG

Smack Mellon presents a solo exhibition by Mo Kong exploring racial melancholia and the information gaps experienced by Asian immigrants through disjunctures in contextual communication. Swift Island Chain unfolds between Smack Mellon’s center columns through a series of modular post-pandemic office environments and work aesthetics that are presented in various states of completion. Corian® interior architectural panels, TômTex® lab-grown leather, AI feedback mechanisms, and an alienating melody composed by sound artist Lemon Guo give texture to the installation, creating a foreboding and anxious atmosphere.
