Terence Koh owns a moment and washes it white

Give it to Terence Koh. He owns a moment, filling Peres Projects in LA with white sand and whitewashing every object on display for his new show. Some may bitch that his is a simplistic vision but such will-to-power! Respect! Check out this excerpt from his press release.

hello deer

this is terence koh

my first show was with this gallery almost 5 years ago WOW

may 10, 2008 that's gonna bee five years of love between javier peres and me

i remember coming to chung king road for the first time and seeing the little street with red lanterns

i remember falling in love with the street immediately

i remember walking into the gallery and thinking it was perfect and magical

i remember sleeping on the couch of the gallery on the second floor while installing because javier couldn't really afford to pay for my motel (yep motel, not hotel)

i remember eating the mostest yummy steamed shrimp with my boyfriend garrick and javier at the restaurant across the street

i remember driving with javier for the first time in his huge silver jeep on the highways of la way pass midnight at about 180 miles per hour and he was swigging whiskey from a silver flask and i was screaming at him that we were both completely going to die that night

i remember walking around with javier in the seedy pet district of downtown los angeles trying to find two perfect white budgeries for my show and finding them and then going to eat vietnamese desserts right after to congratulate ourselves

i rememeber realizing after spending 8 days in la that waking up every day felt like the most strange deja vu because it was always sunny every day every day
