Special Evening Exhibition Reception
Featuring Live Performance by BILL AITCHISON
Thursday 3rd May, 8PM – 9:30PM
THE RESIDENCE GALLERY, 229 Victoria Park Road, London, E9 7HD
One of a kind artist, traveler and all round professional eccentric BILL AITCHISON has taken the citizenship test… in Southern CHINA and now in the multi-faceted exhibition, HOME OFFICE OF THE FAN FICTION EMPIRE at THE RESIDENCE GALLERY in LONDON.
The Customer Is Always Wrong is a creative and personal report on the experience of being a Westerner in China today. It is also a complete confusion of languages: a hybrid of imperfect Chinese and Chinglish translations. The performance is inspired by the disorienting roller coaster experience that is the daily life of a visitor to a bubbling Chinese City today.
The performance is available as a collector’s edition Video Work (2011, limited edition of 6). It is currently exhibited in HOME OFFICE OF THE FAN FICTION EMPIRE at
THE RESIDENCE GALLERY, 5th April – 27th May, 2012.
