New Gallery Artist
Michael Yuen
CPU:798 is delighted to welcome Michael Yuen to our roster of artists. Michael’s work encompasses a plurality of media, and he is already well-known in his native Australia for a body of exceptional works making use of light, sound and performance. With Michael joining CPU:798, we are building on our mission to present the most interesting new media artists from both inside and outside of China today.
Over the past few years Michael has divided his time equally between Australia and China, and in both environments his works have investigated the nature of public spaces and how small events and interventions can have large-scale effects on those spaces and the people in them.
More information about Michael Yuen’s work can be found on our website, we hope you will take a moment to take a look. A solo show of Michael Yuen’s work is scheduled for 2009 – further details will be announced closer to the date.
