Are you looking for a hilarious, eccentric exhibition? Well, you can check Wong Ping’s The Modern Way to Shower (2019) at ICA Miami, 61 NE 41st Street, Miami, FL 33137, United States from Dec 3 2019 to Apr 26 2020.


Wong Ping, Hong Kong born and raised, also has presented solo shows at Camden Arts Centre, London, UK (2019), Kunsthalle Basel, Basel, Switzerland (2019) and Frieze London, UK (2018) recently.



He has a signature style that exposes crude realities such as fantastic, psychedelic and provocative notions, symbolic perspectives. In fact, they all look profoundly, deeply psychological and mental in this lonesome modern society.

All his photos, videos and installations allude contemporary social issues of gender, sexuality, culture, politics through fairy tales, fables, allegories.


Indeed, some critics consider his funny, humorous, ridiculous objects as a compelling and reflecting idea in terms of on going crisisHong Kong’s pro-democracy protests.
