Pu Yingwei, (b.1989, lives and works in Beijing, China) received his DNSEP (MFA with F\u00e9licitation du jury) from \u00c9cole Nationale Sup\u00e9rieure des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, and BFA from Sichuan Fine Art Institute. Pu Yingwei’s work has been defined as an exercise in conceptual art with a strong utopian zeal. He interprets the multiple narratives of media and identity that he practices in the public sphere as an all-round mobilization. Taking personal history as an absolute starting point and through various facets of work including exhibition, writing, design, lecturing, and teaching, he attempts to produce a kind of \u201cmeta-politics\u201d that transcends grand topics such as race, nation, and ethics. Such politics is as complex and full of paradoxes as the reality we experience.<\/p>\n
