"Song Dong: An Exhibition at tablet"

Based in Beijing, Song Dong is one of a generation of Chinese artists
that has come to the attention of the international art world in
recent years. A performance and installation artist, Song Dong's
early work is characteristic of what the art critic Gao Minglu describes
as 'apartment art' - a practice that has emerged from an environment
of limited resources and little recognition by commercial and official
galleries. Song Dong's video installations project compelling and
meditative images onto the surface of the exterior world, while
his performances (often sited outdoors) comment upon the transience
of human endeavour. During the course of a four-month residency
at the Gasworks Artists' Studios beginning in April, the artist
will be making and exhibiting new works at the Tablet gallery at
the Tabernacle.

Dong graduated from the Normal University in Beijing in 1989 and
has exhibited in China, Europe, USA and Japan. Last year his work
was included in Inside Out: New Chinese Art (PS1 and Asia
Society Galleries, New York and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art)
and Transience: Chinese Art at the end of the Twentieth Century
(The Smart Museum of Art, Chicago).
