Pong H. Bui has lived in Greenpoint since 1993 after a summer sublet opportunity. The biennial exhibition "Trees Never End and Houses Never End" is described as immersive and celebrates collective efforts. It highlights the importance of artists' freedoms and the value of taking time in creative processes. This slowness of culture is presented as a counter to the rapidity and fear generation associated with technology, as tyrants prefer speed to instill fear.
The exhibition embraces the slowness of culture. It takes time to make a painting, write a poem, choreograph a dance, even organize a show like Sky High has. And that slowness of culture is a tool against the speed of technology.
All tyrants love speed. They love to create fear through technologies with the radio, with the television, whatever. If they can use it, they do it.
