Rutherford Chang

Rutherford Chang was a conceptual artist known for his innovative and playful projects that explored themes of value and cultural significance. His most notable work involved transforming his extensive collection of the Beatles' 'White Album' into an artistic meditation on the passage of time and the nature of collecting. He also created thought-provoking pieces such as 'Andy Forever,' where he compiled all of actor Andy Lau's death scenes, and 'Dead Air,' which featured a silent rendition of President George W. Bush's State of the Union speech, emphasizing the pauses and applause instead of the words. Chang passed away on January 24 at the age of 45.
