Wu Tsang
Art Council Chair Visiting Artist Lecture
The UCLA Department of Art welcomes Wu Tsang as the fall 2019 Art Council Chair. Wu Tsang is a filmmaker, artist and performer whose work is concerned with hidden histories, marginalized narratives, and the act of performing itself. Tsang re-imagines racialized, gendered representations beyond the visible frame to encompass the multiple and shifting perspectives through which we experience the social realm. Tsang is also interested in how movement can articulate emotional experiences that exist outside of language. Tsang's films, performances, and installations have been presented at museums and film festivals internationally. Tsang's work has been included in exhibitions at the Contemporary Art Museum Houston, the Wexner Center for the Arts, The Geffen Contemporary at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Institute of Contemporary Art Philadelphia; and La MaMa Galleria. Tsang has also presented projects at the Gwangju Biennial in South Korea, the Liverpool Biennial, and the Hammer Museum Biennial. Tsang was a Louis Comfort Tiffany Fellow (2012), Rockefeller Bellagio Creative Arts Fellow (2014), Creative Capital Fellow (2015), and in 2018 received the prestigious MacArthur Genius Grant.
