CHUN Kaifeng (Born 1982) is an emerging artist based in Singapore. He received his MFA from Glasgow School of Art in 2010. His practice is embedded in concerns related to waiting, boredom and the situation. The knowledge from his research, imbued with a sense of melancholy and longing, is articulated through sculptural works and installations.
He is a recipient of the National Arts Council Overseas Bursary (2009) and the Singapore Art Exhibition Prize (2009). His work has been presented in exhibitions including “Singapore Art Exhibition” at Singapore Art Museum (2009), “Beyond LKY” at Valentine Willie Fine Art, Singapore (2010), “It’s Now or Never Part II” at Singapore Art Museum (2011) and “The Singapore Show: Future Proof” at 8Q, Singapore Art Museum (2012).
In November 2012, he will present his first gallery solo exhibition at FOST Gallery (Gillman Barracks, Singapore).
