Mo Kong\u2019s\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Lounge of A Prophet\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/em>at Cuchifritos Gallery will serve as a sequel to Personal Ark\u00ae\u2013the artist\u2019s Queens Museum debut. The series of furniture\/sculptures reference the overlapping data points of two line graphs\u2013International Trade Rates and Natural Disaster Rates from 2009 to 2020\u2013with each section providing a solution for shelter during ecological collapse and economic isolation. The work is reimagined and transformed into the home of a prophet; home decorations serve as makeshift fortune-telling equipment piled on top of a butt-warming bench, food preservation units, and bookshelves to create a space of refuge and respite.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The odor of the lounge will replicate a \u201cChinese Smell,\u201d as described in Otis Gibson\u2019s 1877 book\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Chinese in America<\/span><\/span><\/em>, created only with ingredients bio-pirated from Asia by multinational corporations. Since the 18th century, olfaction has been a racializing tool against Asian Americans and has been used to limit the expansion of Chinatowns in major cities throughout the country. Inspired by the plastic-wrapped furniture of Asian moms everywhere,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Lounge of A Prophet\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/em>will be encased in shrinkwrap, transforming its objects and furniture into containers for the scent ingredients.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
