Cao Fei is one of the most innovative young Chinese artists to have emerged on the international scene. Currently living in Beijing, she mixes social commentary, popular aesthetics, references to surrealism, and documentary conventions in her films and installations. Her works reflect on the rapid and chaotic changes occurring in Chinese society today.
Cao Fei’s work has been included in a number of international biennials, including Shanghai Biennale; Moscow Biennale; Taipei Biennial; 15th and 17th Biennale of Sydney; Istanbul Biennial; Yokohama Triennale; and 50th, 52nd, and 56th Venice Biennale. She has also exhibited her works and projects at Serpentine Gallery, London; Tate Modern, London; New Museum, New York; Guggenheim Museum, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; and Centre Pompidou, Paris. Cao Fei’s recent projects include her first retrospective at MoMA PS1, New York, and BMW Art Car #18. She was a nominee for the Future Generation Art Prize in 2010 and a finalist for the Hugo Boss Prize in 2010. She received the 2006 Best Young Artist Award from Chinese Contemporary Art Award (CCAA).
Presented in partnership with the Art Institute of Chicago’s Department of Museum Education
