Kristina Wong plans to TAKEOVER the Asian Art Museum with a hilarious, provocative, one-night-only event.

In a world where real life literally “trumps” fiction, what’s the point of performance art? With help from a motley crew of Bay Area personalities, Wong aims to reinterpret history’s most infamous performance artworks.
