Description

Ever listen to Loveline? Well, here's an episode with a 24-year-old Korean American guy who's never been kissed. They're offering free concert tickets to any girl who'll come in and take a chance. The girls get their tickets, and "David" gets to pick one of them for his first smack. Trouble is... no volunteers. Combining personal dating stories and the hypnotic imagery of multi-colored koi, Sweet Or Spicy? explores Hapa and Asian American male sexuality in popular culture.

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.
