Wu Zei (乌贼) by Huang Yong Ping (黄永砯). Mediterranean exhibition, Monaco Oceanographic Museum (red). 2010. What About The Art?, Qatar Museums Gallery Al Riwaq (white). 2016. 

Huang Yong Ping is a Franco-Chinese artist who rose to prominence as a contemporary, avant-garde artist. He began his artistic pursuits as a self-taught student, becoming influenced by artists such as Marcel Duchamp and Joseph Beuys. In 1986, Huang founded the Xiamen Dada (厦门达达) group alongside other Chinese artists similarly aligned to his postmodern philosophies, collectively cultivating a controversial and provocative art practice.

The meaning of Huang’s installation coalesces in his naming of the work - “Wu Zei” is the Chinese name for the cuttlefish, but the ideogram “Wu” can represent darkness or blackness, while “Zei” conveys the idea of corruption or betrayal. In enhancing his work with semiology, Huang draws attention double possibilities of darkness in water - marine ink and oil pollution; on renewal and corruption.

Lover’s Tears (情人的眼淚) by Poon Sow Keng (潘秀瓊). 1964.

為 什 麼 要 對 你 掉 眼 淚

Why am I shedding tears for you

你 難 道 不 明 白 為 了 愛

How can you not know it is for love

只 有 那 有 情 人 眼 淚 最 珍 貴

Only for one with feelings are tears so precious

一 顆 顆 眼 淚 都 是 愛 都 是 愛

Each teardrop is for love, all are for love

Also known as “Queen of Alto,” Poon Sow Keng (Pan Xiuqiong) was born in Macau in 1935, and later moved to Malaysia with her mother. She received Singaporean citizenship in the 1980s. She began singing at the age of 12, released her first record at the age of 17, and became one of the most warmly received Chinese singers in the 1960s-1970s. Lover’s Tears was the theme song for the 1965 Shaw Brother’s film, The Lark, and was the hit single that shot her to immense fame.
