Miggie Wong

Below is my ideal map of adventurous locations where visitors can reminisce, celebrate and discover my lifelong project named A Little Dessert Survive (ALDS). On the back of the map is where visitors can document their journey when visiting me and ALDS. This lifelong project transformed from a one-page-only-magazine to many friendly human-accessible miniature felt houses. Each Felt House is boxed in a plexiglas box with its own theme and design. Inside it also features one miniature gallery where my art will be displayed permanently, one research library with a collection that is related to its particular study and practice, a coat check, and a dessert cart. I believe and rely on people’s sense of sincerity and honesty that these felt houses will remain open and be taken good care of. If it happens they get buried and destroyed, I am hoping they will be discovered and repaired again and again.

Started in 2007, A Little Desert Survive  began as a one-page-only magazine initially published at the California Institute of the Arts. ALDS’s distribution was as a game of hide and seek appearing quietly on CalArts notice boards free for readers to take. ALDS contained advertisements, all sorts of writings, drawing, interviews, and reviews of art happenings. The general writings in ALDS have strong grammatical problems, misspellings, and accents that represent cultural and language mutation. By admitting its mistakes, ALDS has become a subject and also an object that allows fragments, awkwardness, and cynical thoughts to alter into positive understanding and appreciation.
 
ALDS’s mission is to reinforce humans’s sincerity and honesty, to encourage others to stay engaged in a positive viewpoint of lives, and/or to re-appreciate/allow little mistakes to make us smile, "Although one life may not be long enough to complete a lifelong project, for now, we can at least let a little dessert survive!"
