Edition #1 - listen | listen with RealPlayer

Host artist Shu-Min Lin trades homeboy quips with sleep-with-strangers performance artist and sculptor Lee Mingwei. Born in Taipei, Shu-Min was the energetic curator of the Taiwan Pavilion at the 2003 Venice Biennale. He is also a well-known digital artist specializing in holography and has been an assistant professor at the New York Institute of Technology since 1991. Mingwei created a special "seer" booth for this year's Whitney Biennial. He often makes work that involves the participation of strangers and has presented it in solo shows at the Whitney and at the Museum of Modern Art, where his project "The Tourist," was on exhibition last year.
