Chunbo Zhang

Born and raised in Shenyang, China, Chunbo Zhang (Bo) is a painter and printmaker currently living in Chicago. In her words:

My current work reflects the anxiety I have experienced as a foreigner living in America and adapting to its culture. In examining this matter, I choose food as the subject because it is not only the essential in our daily life, but also an entry point for a foreigner to understand an unfamiliar culture.

In my existing paintings, I use realistic style and surrealistic approach juxtaposing Chinese antique porcelain wares with American food. The juxtaposition of two cultural references contrasts the differences between hard (raw) vs soft (cooked), inedible vs tasty, ancient vs modern, high vs low in a humorous way.

Whether algorithmically created (like tiktok, youtube, instagram, etc) or manufactured manually (like tumblr or 4chan), the inescapable nature of online echo chambers and their consequences terrifies and depresses me

#Often think about my old colleague who was the sweetest guy but pipelined into alt right ideologies through podcasts and tiktok #He once showed me a “fun fact” about there existing a soup in china made from infants and it appears he actually genuinely believed it to b #true #took one search to find out that it's a picture made by some contemporary artist and of course it wasn't real #but that's one of many things his algorithm threw at him and with enough bullshit you're not gonna fact check every single thing #Tumblr is also far from innocent tbh #people in here will start a bullying campaign of minors if they draw a fat character not fat enough or something like this and are often to #deep into tumblr thinking to consider that maybe this shit is also wild as fuck #I'm chronically online myself and I'm genuinely terrified of what kind of shit I casually utter in my daily interactions unaware of how #indoctrinated I had become in some type of specific echo chamber way #And what is it you can even do to avoid it #be chronically offline — yeah that sounds like a tangible possibility #except in today's reality you literally cannot do that as it'll just alienate you both online and offline because we don't live in a vacuum #And you quite literally can't afford to be illiterate about what's happening online for many reasons #I really need to delete this blog god fucking damn it I don't know how else to stop using it
