Events
9/11 Vigil +/-
9/11/10 - 10/9/10 The Center is open Wednesday through Friday, 12β6 pm and Saturday, 11 amβ4 , Aljira
Aljira, a Center for Contemporary Art presents the second EmergeNEXT solo project by Emerge alumni Chee Wang Ng. In his mixed-media installation 9/11 Vigil, Ng presents a cross-cultural reflection on the loss experienced on September 11, 2001. The work deconstructs the American flag and consists of a large, red-striped bowl of rice with two deliberately placed chopsticks surrounded by blue, star-studded prayer candles and the sound of a Buddhist chant for salvation atop a small table. In this work Ng explores a symbolic aesthetic and relies on his signature iconic objectsâbowl of rice and chopsticksâto represent an offering to God and the dead.
Nearly a quarter of the 3,000 lives lost during the World Trade Center tragedy were New Jersey residents. The project allows the viewer to contemplate what else may have been lost on this dayâ a sense of security or perhaps the compassionate nature we contribute to our humanity? Appropriately titled, the artist presents culturally significant objects as a personal narrative of grief for observance in a public space, just 1 year before the 10th anniversary of 9/11.
The Aljira installation (blue) is one of three identical installations concurrently on view at the Museum of Chinese in America (white) in lower Manhattan and the Godwin-Ternbach Museum (red) at Queens College, New York.

Each artist chooses a segment of the figure. Medium: Painting, sculpture, mixed media.
Head- with a bit of the neck
Torso- some neck to belly button, no hips please
Legs- hips to toes, no belly button please
Also, the corpses do not have to be figurative. They can also be shown from a side view, back, etc. They can be in different positions. I would hate to have all frontal, standing corpses throughout the show.
Take some artistic liberties!!!
