New artist arrival: Guanyu Xu

Visual artist and photographer Guanyu Xu from China arrives at the artist residence. 
Artistic focus: New Media Arts, Photography

徐冠宇 Guanyu Xu (b.1993 Beijing) is an artist currently based in Chicago and Beijing. Influenced by the production of hegemonic ideology in American visual culture and his upbringing in Beijing, the artist’s practice extends from examining the production of power in image culture to the question of personal freedom and its relationship to political regimes. In his work, Guanyu Xu migrates between mediums like photography, new media, and installation. These movements operate similarly to his displaced and fractured identity.
