Frank WANG Yefeng

👹“The Levitating Perils #2” is now live on whitney.org and on the lobby screen at the @whitneymuseum ! (link in bio) 
This new series of five animations follows a floating red monster drifting through time and bias — born from “Yellow Peril” caricatures, reborn as something uncanny, absurdly alive, and maybe… cute (a Chihuahua?). A sequence of four animations switches every six hours over the course of the day with an additional clip interspersed randomly, the work transforms, reshaping a racially charged history into a surreal, speculative space of re-imagination. ✨ On the Hour is a series of Internet art projects that appear every full hour on whitney.org, each unfolding over thirty seconds. Curated by Christiane Paul @paulc236 , Curator of Digital Art at the Whitney Museum of American Art. To experience it, visit any page on whitney.org — right on the hour. #FrankWANGYefeng #WhitneyMuseum #Artport #DigitalArt #AnimationArt #NewMediaArt #ContemporaryArt #AsianDiaspora #SpeculativeWorlds #3DAnimation #TransnationalSelf

Now on view on the High Line Channel: “Groundless Flower - ཨ,” a new film by Frank WANG Yefeng (@this.frank.wang ). 📽️ For High Line Art and the CHANEL Culture Fund’s (@chanelofficial ) inaugural High Line Originals co-commission, Frank WANG Yefeng presents "Groundless Flower – ཨ," an experimental video that continues the artist’s exploration of themes related to estrangement, and considers questions relevant to his own diasporic existence between East and West. "Groundless Flower – ཨ" draws on the artist’s journeys to wild landscapes such as the Gobi Desert, the Qingzang Plateau, and New Mexico’s Badlands, translating their vast open spaces into a poetic meditation on movement, transformation, and the paradoxes of nomadic existence. This is the fourth High Line Originals film and the inaugural High Line Originals film co-commissioned with CHANEL Culture Fund. Yefeng is the fourth artist to create a short film for High Line Originals, which invites emerging or underrecognized US-based artists, nominated by a trusted group of international contemporary curators, to submit a proposal for a new video work that considers the context of the park in a meaningful way, and will resonate with the High Line’s diverse audience. Under the new partnership, the High Line and CHANEL are able to accelerate their shared commitment to artists working in time-based media, commissioning a new High Line Originals film annually and focusing on artists who experiment with digital technologies. Plan your visit to the High Line to watch “Groundless Flower - ཨ," and join us on the park on Thursday, September 25, for a free Artist Talk with Frank WANG Yefeng and High Line Art Associate Curator Taylor Zakarin (link in bio to RSVP)! 🎞️ Music Credit 🎶: Frank Carlberg

Meet our 2026 New York City Artadia Awards Finalist! Frank WANG Yefeng's practice navigates the instability of identity, place, and perception, exploring the experience of "in-betweenness" that arises from a nomadic, transnational existence. Taking a non-hierarchical approach across 3D animation, video installation, sculpture, painting, drawing, and text, he constructs speculative worlds of whimsical characters and uncanny landscapes in which the boundaries between the human and non-human, virtual and physical, dissolve. Blending playful aesthetics with conceptual depth, his work invites viewers into nomadic spaces where perception is fluid and new connections and imagination continuously unfold.

On View @belowgrandnyc Curated by @this.frank.wang , featuring works by @lzhenhua @artistyukihe “The Reality is Endlessly Postponed brings together Li Zhenhua and Yuki He—two artists whose practices unfold across moving images, photography, cinematography, and the unstable terrain between reality and its reconstruction. Though their career trajectories differ, both artists operate fluidly between roles—curator, producer, filmmaker, architect, designer—allowing their work to emerge from an acute awareness of how images circulate, how memories shift, and how meaning is continually produced in unstable realms. …” 📩 DM for the full press release and image list! Sat 12-6 or by appointment thru Feb 14th @52 Allen
