Han Bing

Han Bing is a multimedia artist and art activist. She works with painting, performance, photography, video art, sculpture, installation, artistic intervention, and social healing.

Born in a remote village on Yuzhou Island in the East China Sea, she emigrated to mainland China with her parents as an infant and grew up on a horse farm in Shandong. Self-taught in painting, she worked for thirteen years in rural areas before graduating from the Oil Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

She currently resides between Berlin and Hamburg.

Han’s early works explore the struggles and desires of ordinary people in China’s “theater of modernization”, analyzing the relationship between people and objects from a natural and social perspective of everyday life. Her works subvert ordinary practices, reinvent everyday objects, and invite us to rethink the order of things.

On the other hand, through transgender practices and conceptual social interventions, Han Bing explores cultural conflict and segregation. Her work transcends the boundaries between art and life, exploring emotion without constraints, committed to transcending the boundaries of the universe in terms of race, gender, country, class, and religious affiliation. From a global humanistic perspective, she documents modern and natural civilization, the rift between ecological and social culture, and questions how the contemporary spiritual home is configured within the space-time of the mutant gene.

Han Bing has exhibited at numerous art museums, galleries, foundations, biennials, performance festivals, and photography festivals.
