Description

Fulbeck force-feeds the viewer scores of all-too-familiar Asian female/Caucasian male pairings in Hollywood films, and combines them with contemporary excerpts from best-selling novels, magazines, and dating services. Some Questions For 28 Kisses delves into the causes and purposes of these created images and their relation to interracial dating, ethnic fetishes, race and gender wars, and Hapa identity.

“Leads the viewer on a delightfully rip-roaring jaunt through the Asian Pacific American psyche.”

-- Gerard Lim, Asian Week

About Kip Fulbeck

Kip Fulbeck is a performance and video artist based in southern California. From a Cantonese, English, Irish, and Welsh background, he explores the Asian male experience through humorous and angry autobiographical stories. Fulbeck confronts media imagery of Asian men, interracial dating, and icons of race and sex in the United States, continually questioning where Hapas (people of mixed race with Asian or Pacific Islander ancestry) belong in a country that ignores multiraciality.
