Publisher's Synopsis

Song Kun uses this term to sum up her practice, and she has blended the elements of classicalism, the contemporary subculture and female identity, and more to expand the core of it in an experimental manner. As a perfect accompaniment to the delicately tuned reproductions of the artworks, there are three essays about the artist's practice contributed by three active actors of the contemporary art scene in China--Bao Dong, Li Shurui, and Lu Mingjun--as well as a scrapbook (edited by the artist herself) and her biography. The book is written in English and Chinese and is published by Star Gallery and Art Media Resources, and designed by the renowned studio, One Thousand Times.
