Wang is a multidisciplinary installation artist who looks at how the navigation of physical spaces can inform us about our own lived reality. Through modifying existing architectural structures with subtle, surprising additions or appropriating stylized features from disparate sources , Wang has developed a strong practice around interventions that are aim to disrupt human perceptions of space while opening a dialogue about construction, labour and ways of seeing.
Wang Wei (b. Beijing, China 1972, currently resides in Beijing). Graduated from Central Academy of Fine Arts in 1996.
