Jingwei Bu | PUNCH | Artist Talk | Chinese Language Tour – Mandarin | Live performance

[Yuexiu Shen]

Dear friends and colleagues,

I'm sharing with you PUNCH: Jingwei Bu's solo exhibition at Adelaide Central School of Art. 

https://acsa.sa.edu.au/exhibitions/punch/

Jingwei Bu is a Chinese Australian artist who lives and works on Kaurna land in Tarntanya/Adelaide. She has lived in four countries and speaks three languages. With a practice spans from intuitive drawing, moving images, performance and installation, she explores the concept of time as a collaborator; as the subject of her work; and as a medium in itself. Influenced by Buddhist Chan philosophy and Taoist thought, her work is responsive, experimental, and participatory, with a process of making driven by profound engagement with chosen materials and risk-taking.

Jingwei Bu’s new solo exhibition of work draws together elements of sculpture, performance, and moving image, as well as intense material investigation. Arising from her recent mentorship with esteemed Australian artist Lindy Lee, this show draws together many of the different strands of Jingwei’s practice to contemplate ideas of language, miscommunication, and the experience of new migrants. The exhibition will feature a performance piece, as Jingwei evolves her process of hammering text into large metal sheets.

Jingwei is also giving a Mandarin tour and a live performance this weekend. Please find the details via the link below:
