Wang Du

Follow

b. 1956, China

Wang Du was born in Wuhan in December 1956. He has lived and worked in Paris since 1990. He has taught in the art department at the University of Paris VIII and the École supérieure d'art de Brest. Wang Du works in a range of media, including installation, sculpture, photography, and multi-media. His statement, 'I am media, I am reality, I am image,' could be seen as an interpretation of the concepts behind his work. He believes that 'the completely digital third reality is constructing a contemporary society and culture that needs to be constantly redefined.' Thus, his work redefines a series of concepts within reality from different perspectives, which is also the statement he has made since he declared, 'I am the spokesperson for reality and the masses.'

Wang’s art has been disseminated widely in art criticism, documentaries, contemporary artist dictionaries, and art books. His work has also been covered by many international magazines, newspapers, and TV and radio stations. In 2008 and 2012, Wang Du held solo exhibitions at Tang Contemporary Art in Beijing, titled International Kebab and Musée d’Art Contemporain de la Chine respectively. His works have been exhibited throughout international museums and contemporary art institutions including the 1999 Venice Biennale, Centre Pompidou, Musée National d’Art Moderne in Paris, Vancouver Art Gallery, Rodin Gallery in South Korea, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Deitch Projects in New York, Kestnergesellschaft in Hanover, Germany.
