Can anyone guess how many yards of black masking tape went into this larger-than-life fierce, sexy, spooky installation by Sun K. Kwak, for our Phantoms exhibition?

Closest guess wins tickets to our next MATCHA evening party — Vin Sol spinning music, Litquake poetry crawl, Gypsy Gentleman tattoo documentary, Trannyshack performances, dance party, and more.

Watch the time lapse video of this artwork being made.

Man oh man oh man. Korean artist Sun K. Kwak has been creating her on-site art made out of MASKING TAPE. Here it is in progress. She channels the invisible energy she feels in a space, and makes it visible. Waves and waves of black stretch upwards and creep toward the ceiling.

We can’t wait to see how it will turn out. Come to our preview party on May 17 to see more in PHANTOMS OF ASIA at the Asian Art Museum, SF.

It’s gonna be big.
