Guest: Song Kun (UCCA exhibiting artist)

Song Kun Song Kun was born in 1977 in Baotou, Inner Mongolia. She studied oil painting at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing until 2002. She was a founding member of the N12, a group of twelve ambitious young graduates of the Central Academy of Fine Arts who have been organizing their own annual exhibitions. Song Kun was educated after the Cultural Revolution and raised in an era of accelerated urban and economic development. While her paintings are less overtly political than many of her predecessors and contemporaries, she uses her own unique visual language to give expression to the concerns and desires of everyday life, building an archive of those moments of peak emotion, cognition, and memory. Her most recent work interprets mobility, migration, and movement as political and sentimental devices of both control and resistance that have become characteristic of life in contemporary China.
