In Conversation: Ziping Wang & Professor Bill Carroll

To mark the opening of Ziping Wang’s highly anticipated solo exhibition, The Other Landscape, we invite you to watch the conversation between the artist and her former professor, Bill Carroll. Ziping and Carroll discuss the ideas behind the vibrantly coloured canvases that form her exhibition. They focus particularly on the artist’s formal training, the frenetic energy of her works and her artistic influences.

Professor Bill Carroll met Ziping Wang when she was a student on his course at Pratt Institute, from where she received her MFA. Carroll is also the Director of the Studio Programme at the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts in New York. He has held positions at Dia Art Foundation, Charles Cowles Gallery and Elizabeth Harris Gallery. Carroll has lectured widely in various institutions, including New York Foundation for the Arts, Bard College and New York University. He is also an independent curator and exhibiting artist.

Ziping Wang’s solo exhibition, The Other Landscape, continues to explore her fascination with the contemporary phenomenon of information overload. Her fragmented and intensely layered artworks simulate feelings of modern-day anxiety, while resonating with sensory memory triggers. Ziping’s exhibition is on display at Unit London until Wednesday 11^th August.
