Gu Xiong

Bio:

Gu Xiong is a multimedia artist from China, and based in Vancouver, Canada. He works with installation, painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, photography, video, digital imagery, text, and performance art. Xiong’s practice centres on the creation of a hybrid identity arising from the integration of different cultural origins. Through a critical lens, his work encompasses sociology, geography, economics, politics, and literature, as well as the dynamics of migration, invisible labor, globalization, local culture, and identity politics, through which he constitutes an amalgamation of multiple cultural histories and seeks to create an entirely new identity.
