Join ArtReview and Ursula magazine for ‘Off the Record,’ a series of informal talks in Wine Bar at the Farm Shop Mayfair, in partnership with Berry Bros. & Rudd.

Held on the first Tuesday of every month, these intimate and relaxed conversations bring together artists, thinkers and creatives to give an insight into their inspirations, processes and evolution of ideas.⁠ The series is a celebration of traditional conviviality, designed to be experienced live in a welcoming wine bar setting.

The ninth talk in the series will be with artist Ming Wong and Editor-in-Chief of ArtReview Mark Rappolt.

• 6.15 pm: Arrival and welcome drink

• 7 pm: Talk followed by a Q&A

Tickets cost £14 per person, which includes a glass of wine, as well as a copy of ArtReview and Ursula magazines. Please note seats will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis.

An à-la-carte menu of small plates, charcuterie and wines will be available to purchase throughout the evening.

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 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.
