In this episode Jared talks with Tianzhuo Chen, an artist whose videos, performances and visual works create spectacles evoking religious ritual and iconography, sexuality and the body.
Based in Beijing, while also having lived and worked extensively in Shanghai, Tianzhuo is the founder of Asian Dope Boys, a loose collective and party series, presenting performances and club nights at spaces ranging from Shanghai’s All Club, to the Barbican Centre in London. Often working with others, Tianzhuo’s extensive network of collaborators include artists such as Aïsha Devi, Gabber Modus Operandi, 33EMYBW, to name a few.
