Jane Wang is a composer/multi-instrumental who has, since becoming a Mobius Artist, revived her interest in art through installation art, fluxus, performance art, phone photography, videotaping with her ultra-flip cameras - a new obsession, and curating group shows. Two of her video pieces premiered at the 2009 Open Performance Art Festival in Beijing, China and her pieces have shown at Fluxhibition 3, A Book About Death (NYC), various happenings by Matthew Lee Knowles (UK) and she curated the group show The Politics of Shoes @mobius (2009).
As a composer, Jane composed and performed several solo double bass and vocal pieces for her long-time collaborator performance artist Hanne Tierney including Ms. Tierney’s Obie- award winning Salome (with Sabir Mateen) at five myles and the International Festival of Puppet Theatre. Jane composed and performed music for Hanne Tierney’s How Wang-Fo Was Saved (“Tierney and her collaborators-especially wonder-making musician Jane Wang have created a work of incandescent and unworldly beauty.” –Village Voice), and for Ms. Tierney’s Man, the Flower of All Flesh (2005 Henry Hewes Design Award nominee). In May 2008, she composed and performed music for four toy pianos for Ms. Tierney’s Das Triadische Ballet at the 8th International Great Small Works Toy Theater Festival at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn, NY.
