Join ArtReview and Ursula on Tuesday 3 March for a conversation with Ming Wong and Mark Rappolt
ArtReview and Ursula magazine have teamed up to host a series of talks on the first Tuesday of every month in the Wine Bar underneath the Farm Shop in London’s Mayfair. Staged as a series of intimate conversations and more, set in a relaxed and casual bar, the series will allow audiences a insight into the inspirations, working methods and passions of some of today’s key visionaries from artists and thinkers, to filmmakers, designers, philosophers and architects. The events will span creative thinking and how it evolves to match our times. The series is a celebration of traditional conviviality, to be experienced live by those present rather than remotely, on screen. The talk will take place in the restaurant, where food and drink can be ordered throughout the evening.
Time: 6.15pm welcome drink, 7pm event start
Ticketed event: £14, which includes a welcome drink and copies of ArtReview and Ursula magazine

About Ming Wong
Ming Wong is a Singapore-born, Berlin-based artist working with performance, video, photography and installation to uncover the slippages that haunt ideas of authenticity and originality. Through a re-reading of world cinema and popular culture artefacts, his artistic research and practice explore the politics of representation and how culture, gender and identity are constructed, reproduced and circulated.
Wong’s recent exhibitions include ‘AUUUUDITORIUM,’ Rockbund Art Museum, Shanghai, China (2024); ‘Signals: How Video Transformed The World,’ Museum of Modern Art, New York NY (2023); ‘Wayang Spaceship,’ Singapore Art Museum, Singapore (2022). His performance ‘Rhapsody in Yellow’ has been shown at steirischer herbst, Graz, Austria (2022); Berliner Festspiele, Berlin, Germany (2023); SpielArt Festival, Munich, Germany (2023); Kunstfestspiele Herrenhausen, Hannover, Germany (2024); and the Esplanade Singapore (2024).
Wong represented Singapore at the 53rd Venice Biennale (2009) with his solo exhibition ‘Life of Imitation’, which was awarded a Special Mention. His work ‘Life of Imitation’ (2009) is currently on display at Tate Modern, London, UK. He is the 2025 artist-in residence at The National Gallery in London, UK.
