WANG TUO

Speaker, 2025

Wang Tuo (born in 1984 in Changchun, China) currently lives and works in Beijing. Through various media, including film, performance, painting, and writing, he interweaves art history, cultural archives, literature, and mythology to construct narratives that blur the boundaries of time and space. Drawing upon perspectives from intellectual history and political philosophy, Wang Tuo examines the complex entanglements between the disruptions of modernity in China and East Asia and the contemporary dilemmas that emerge. Wang Tuo has recently held solo exhibitions at K21 in Düsseldorf and the UCCA Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing, among others. He has also exhibited internationally in various museums, institutions, and biennials. He has received numerous awards, most recently the 2023 Sigg Prize from M+ Museum in Hong Kong and the K21 Global Art Award from K21 Düsseldorf in 2024.
