“The Loving Cup: Kenneth Tam,” Commonwealth & Council, Los Angeles (August) Artforum: Critics’ Picks 

Three large flat-screen televisions are placed diagonally across the wooden floors, imitating the playful actions one encounters in Kenneth Tam’s three-part single-channel video installation The Loving Cup, 2016.
