Beyond, 2014 by Wang Peng
3 channel video, monitors, 20:00
Wang Peng (b. 1964, China) explores a very particular logic relating to screen space in his recent video work. His approach is realised through constructed techniques that includes the synthesis of two or more spatial points of view within the one screen. Since the early 1990s Peng has experimented with performance, time-based arts, video, photography and installation. He is credited as being the first performance artist in China. Exhibitions include TRA Gallery Beijing, Platform China Beijing, Boers-Li Gallery Beijing, 01100001 Gallery Beijing, Chengdu Biennial, Tate Liverpool, UK, the 4th Gwangju Biennale.
Peng’s work Beyond (2014) & Feeling North Korea (2008) will be featured in MAAP’s 2014 international touring exhibition LANDSEASKY.
