Whitebox Portable is pleased to present CHICKEN LITTLE – LÍNEAS DE FALLA / FAULT LINES by Cecile Chong and 123 POLLUTION SOLUTION by Chin-Chih Yang, two installations that transform a transit corridor traversed daily by hundreds of thousands of people into a site for reflecting on our relationship with the environments we inhabit, transform, consume, and move through.
Although formally distinct, both artists share a transnational experience shaped by migration and cultural displacement. Born in Ecuador to Chinese parents, Cecile Chong navigates histories of movement between Latin America, Asia, and the United States. Chin-Chih Yang, born in Taiwan and based in New York, has long examined the environmental consequences of industrial production and consumer culture. Their practices emerge from different trajectories, yet converge in a sustained concern for ecological interdependence and the ways human actions shape the landscapes we occupy.
