Hung-Chih Peng presents two videos from his Canine Monk series. Heart Sutra and Exerpts from the Holy Bible in Arabic Translation feature the artist’s dog quoting religious scripture in different languages. Peng's videos point to the erasure of ethnic difference as a rejoinder to convergences in contemporary religious movements.

Canine Monk is presented in conjunction with Lower Manhattan Cultural Council's international summit Cities, Art & Recovery.
