LOOKERS

2011-07-20T13:44:00.000+02:00

HEHEHE, I STILL LIKE THIS PROJECT..LOOKERS :-) VERY GOOD MODELS :-)

"Looker I, II, III" 2000,Installation.
Photographs 80cm x 100cm, red carpet, flowerprint wallpaper..
In collaboration with Jan de Groot and Christopher
Matsumoto. The first aspects of 'Lookers' are the three
photographs of the three men. The three men are looking,
giving the sense of being looked at. Each photograph dipicts
the contradiction with the word lookers. 'Lookers' are people
who are in the act of looking. And those are in the act of
looking. And those are in the slang sense of word, being
looked at. Such as a beautiful woman. A 'Looker'.

Yesterday @ Lenoirschuring, printing my book

2011-01-25T14:52:00.009+01:00

I owe a debt of gratitude to many people and organizations for contributing to the realization of this book. Obviously, the project would never have reached this stage without the kind co-operation and hospitality of the Tang family in Hong Kong and the Netherlands.

Patty Wageman has been a great help by continually supporting and encouraging me. She also played an important part in selecting the pictures included in this book. Patty pleaded, successfully, for combining photographs from China with ten portraits of young Dutch-Chinese women. She has written down her thoughts on the project in The Story of Four Generations (at www.yeelingtang.com).

I am also grateful to Ditta Terpstra, Ingrid Commandeur, Jan Banning, Will Tinnemans and Marc van den Hoek for their co-operation in various areas. Many thanks are extended to the Fonds BKVB (Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts, Design and Architecture), the Stichting Sem Presser Archief (Sem Presser Archives Foundation) and the publishing house Stichting Ipso Facto for their financial and organizational assistance. Finally, I would like to thank establishments that have exhibited my work: the Openbare Bibliotheek in Amsterdam (Amsterdam Public Library), the Stichting Het Wilde Weten in Rotterdam and 44 Gallery in Bruges.

2010-12-21T10:58:00.005+01:00

Ik was eerst van plan om een harde kaft te kiezen, maar dan wordt het een heel klein boekje met weinig pagina's, en simpel karton is geen optie..
eindig toch met een 'slappe kaft', maar wel mooi gevouwd en aan beide kanten gedrukt en het boek heeft een veel groter formaat (34x24cm). Portretten op hoogglanzend papier, en de overige beelden op mat papier....
Het wordt mooi!!!

Binnenkort is de persproef klaar. Trouwens, het boek kost maar 15 euro, dus volgend jaar kopen.....

From 5 November 2010 until 8 May 2011, Amsterdam's Tropenmuseum will be turning red. The exhibition RED (ROOD) will focus on the colour in all its many aspects. Red is one of the most important colours in almost every culture and has many meanings.
The Tropenmuseum combines its own objects with the collection from the Museum of World Cultures in Basel, presented there in its RED (ROT) exhibition in 2007/2008. There are also objects on loan from a range of different museums including the Cobra Museum, the Amsterdam Historical Museum and the Dutch Army Museum.

GROUP EXHIBITION @ PRIMO PIANO LIVINGALLERY IN ITALY.

Sulla perdita delle dimensioni reali, le fotografie in bianco e nero della cinese Yee-Ling Tang , residente ad Amsterdam, che affronta e confronta i temi della percezione e delle dinamiche all'interno di contesti sociali. Come un esercizio surrealista, l'artista manipola e duplica luoghi e persone, ingrandendoli o rimpicciolendoli, sino a farne perdere le concezione del tempo, rappresentando la fragilità intrinseca ad ogni visione stereotipata.

herinneringen van de omgeving uit mijn eerste jaren...

2010-01-14T15:24:00.017+01:00

In deze moderne, technologische tijd gaan veranderingen samen met oude tradities. Maar de beelden uit 1994 en 2000 in combinatie met de nieuwe uit 2009 benadrukken dat de oude (1e) generatie een ander verleden/basis heeft dan de 4e generatie.Het laat het contrast zien tussen de generaties.
Volgende maand ga ik verder met het fotograferen van de omgeving uit mijn jeugd, in Nederland.in 2005 had ik oma Mee Fung voor het laatst gezien.. Ik ben in 1984,1990,1994,2000,2001,2005,2009 in Hong Kong geweest...sommige dingen lijken nooit te veranderen, maar heel veel wel...

Als eerbetoon aan dit fenomeen organiseert het ACF een kortlopende expositie, waarvoor de fotografie-mama’s hun eigen kinderen portretteerden

Volgens mijn familie en de chinese kalender ben ik getrouwd..!!! Maar nog niet volgens de wet in Nederland...
Chinese huwelijksceremonie dus, wel grappig want ik woon al rond mijn 17e jaar niet meer bij mijn ouders thuis.
Die nacht kon ik helemaal niet slapen..

vandaag een echo gehad,spannend!
Een aardige mevrouw van 'Verloskundig Centrum Oost Echopunt' zei dat ik niet moest schrikken,als ik niet direkt iets te zien kreeg. Op dat moment bleek dat ze het apparaatje precies op de juiste plek legde en ik zag een compleet plaatje.Een slapend baby met een arm omhoog alsof hij/zij naar me zwaaide..en ik kwam niet meer bij van het lachen,zo erg dat dat hij/zij een sprong maakte.Tot zover ziet alles er goed uit....(heb trouwens iets meer foto's meegekregen,haha)

Zo zag ik er uit in 1972.....Zal hij/zij op mij lijken? Waarschijnlijk minder haartjes, en minder vreemd...?

2007-02-10T00:19:00.001+01:00

I'M AT THE ISH-INSTITUTE, WE ARE WORKING ON A NEW PROJECT. I'M TEACHING PHOTOGRAPHY FOR A FEW MONTHS.WE ARE CREATING NEW WORK FOR AN EXHIBITION...

ISH was founded in 1999 by Marco Gerris, then 23 years old and one of the youngest theatrical producers in the Netherlands. Initially, the idea was to create a show integrating disciplines from the street and club circuit including: acrobatic stunts and dance on in-line skates, break dance, video art, DJ performance, martial arts, acrobatics, rap, beatbox and even bungee jumping. These disciplines, combined with the elements of pop concerts, video clips, cartoons, video games and film, were the foundation of ISH and a new brand of entertainment.The company's unique name comes from the suffix "ish," which has no specific definition, but is often attached to adjectives (i.e. green-ish, sport-ish, warm-ish) to indicate variance. ISH represents the multidisciplinary and multicultural character of the company and its productions, as well as the performers.

Een "waardeloze" dag, in de ochtend opgestaan met een hardnekkige bloeduitstorting in mijn linkeroog. Misschien een signaal..? Daarna 2uur en 22 minuten gereisd om naar mijn werk te komen. Vandaag moest ik de 2e en 3e jaars fotografie-studenten tijdens de werkschouw met cijfers(?) beoordelen...Na een lange werkdag belde mijn moeder me, met de boodschap dat mijn oma is overleden...Ik vraag me af of mijn foto-reportage met mijn oma's is voltooid.

Joshua Crouch deserves justice
Joshua David Crouch, a 24-year-old aspiring musician who lived in Williamsburg, was killed in a hit-and-run on the West Side Highway around W. 12th St. on Mon. Sept. 18 sometime between 3:20 a.m. and 3:45 a.m. That much is known. But the driver who killed him and then sped away and left the scene is unknown.Crouch’s family and friends want justice — and closure. Originally from North Carolina, Crouch aka “LEFTist” was a young man with many friends who had made a life for himself in New York City with dreams of making it big as a hip-hop artist. And he seemed to be on his way.......................

In August I visited Galapagos in Williamsburg, he introduced me to good hiphop music. (Mindspray...)
I want to say to Mindspray and to the family and friends of leftist my deepest condolences.

yes, I'm in rainy Amsterdam now...but I enjoyed staying at Lightwork in Syracuse because I got a stipend...to create new work..!!!Light Work was founded in 1973 to provide a place for artists to work directly with photographic and digital-imaging media. Located in the Robert B. Menschel Media Center at Syracuse University.

Voor de zoveelste keer heb ik er moeite mee om te wennen dat ik terug ben...Nederland,een land waar ik niet voor heb gekozen...Ik ben blij om mijn lief, vrienden en familie te zien.Toch krijg ik geen warm gevoel van Amsterdam. Veel agressie en pretenties. Maar dat gaat zeker veranderen.....

Vorig jaar waren er 12kunstenaars uit de hele wereld geselecteerd om een project te doen bij Lightwork, op de Syracuse University in New York. En ik was er een van...(kreeg er ook nog een stipendium voor ook)

Yee Ling in New York City again 18-20sept

I'm in Williamsburg again for two days to work on my new project...

of the presence of the body... I'm going to NYC again

2006-09-17T03:38:00.000+02:00

Yesterday,I went to E.S.Bird Library at the Syracuse University and borrowed a few books-- 'Of the presence of the body',--'Performance and the politics of movement'--,'Anthropology and the dance-Ten lectures' and 'The hidden dimension/Edward Hall'.....The most interesting part is chapter; 'descriptive language' and 'body language'.

The reason I chose these books is because I'm doing research for my photo project.--'Where spoken languages are known to require translation, the popular belief among many is that body language do not require translation. This is also related to my youth; I experienced not talking for two years and I moved almost 20 times in my life........I'm going to take pictures of modells(or myself) in different poses and also empty spaces,than using two layers black&white film to make the prints....------------------------
Ik ben blij dat ik deze twee maanden in Amerika geheel mag concentreren op mijn werk, eindelijk een project wat niet van subsidiegeld is....,en ik hoop dat ik in de toekomst buiten Nederland nog meer projecten mag doen.In Nederland krijg ik een kans als het letterlijk gerelateerd is aan mijn chinese identiteit, en daar gaat mijn werk niet over, ik dacht dat het universeler is.. Ik denk dat er weinig ruimte is voor mijn autonoom werk in Nederland.(wel in letters en in cijfers, haha)

2006-08-26T04:06:00.000+02:00

vanavond voel ik me eenzaam, ik wil mezelf niet verplichten om uit te gaan,ook al kan het amusant zijn....hier heb ik nu zo'n 'weekendgevoel' alsof iedereen bij elkaar moet gaan zitten omdat het weekend is? Vandaag ben ik niet zo productief, en ik ga straks ook niet in mijn eentje in de avond met een camera om mijn nek of arm rondlopen,....zeker niet richting verlaten industrieel gebied...Ik ga wel even kijken of hier in mijn vertrouwde North 7th Street wat te doen is....

...sinds ik binnen ben, is er regen en onweer..
