Rae-Yen Song

Rae-Yen Song, ▷▥◉▻, Dundee Contemporary Arts, 2021. (Photography, Ruth Clark).
Rae-Yen Song (b. 1993, Edinburgh, Scotland) is an artist based in Glasgow. Working expansively through drawing, sculpture, installation, costume, video, sound, performance, family collaboration and any other medium that becomes appropriate, Song’s practice is a long-term exercise in self-mythology as survival tactic. It explores the position of Other within our tangled reality, speaking broadly about foreignness, identity, and what it means to belong – or not.

Currently showing at Let the Song Hold Us, a group exhibition at FACT Liverpool (March – June 2022), and Meet me at the threshold, a group exhibition at Talbot Rice Gallery (March – May 2022). Other selected projects include: ▷▥◉▻ , a solo exhibition at Dundee Contemporary Arts (2021-2022); WORMB, a duo exhibition at Quench Gallery, Margate (2022); wūûūwūûū, a LUX Scotland moving image commission for BBC Scotland (2021); Fabric of Society, Glasgow International (2021); songdynasty.life, a nascent online archive, with videos commissioned by Edinburgh Art Festival and Hunterian Art Gallery (2020 – ongoing); ✵may-may songuu✵, a solo exhibition at CFCCA, Manchester (2020); Survey, Jerwood Space, London (2018); Human Rights Arts Festival, JDA Perera Gallery, Colombo (2017). Recent residencies include with Talbot Rice Gallery, Edinburgh (2019-21); Hospitalfield, Arbroath (2019); Sura Madura, Sri Lanka (2017).
