Join artist Yingmei Duan and curator Katie Hill, speaking about Yingmei's life, work and response to Vincent van Gogh.
Yingmei Duan (b. 1969) left her home country China in 1998, after being a member of the underground Beijing East Village group between 1993-1995 where she took part in the collective performance work “To Add One Meter to an Anonymous Mountain”. The experience as a member of the avant-garde circle prompted Duan to turn towards the medium of performance, which developed further in Germany where she studied and worked with Marina Abramović and Christoph Schlingensief. Based in Germany, Duan travels around the world to present her performances, often collaborating with a wide range of people and exploring themes such as cultural shifts and social constraints.
She has recently completed a 100-day online residency with Van Gogh House and Newcastle University.
Join us for a special evening in conversation with Ying Mei and curator Katie Hill.
