Sung Tieu: One Thousand Times Cat. Kunst Museum Winterthur

Sung Tieu (b. 1987) is a German-Vietnamese artist based in Berlin. Her artistic practice spans multiple mediums, including sound installations, video, sculpture, photography, performance and public interventions. She is a 2018 graduate of the Royal Academy of Arts London. With » Civic Floor« , the MIT List Visual Art Center is presenting the US debut of recently co-commissioned works by German-Vietnamese artist Sung Tieu in July 2023. Tieu employs sculpture, drawing, sound, video, and installation to examine a wide range of subjects in which social or political power is articulated through sensory and psychological realms. Perception is a key node in Tieu’ s work as she elaborates the often alienating effects of sound, architecture, design, and language. Working across various media, Tieu crafts a spatial narrative in each of her exhibitions that reflects her research into bureaucratic systems and their affective spaces as well as her lived experience with them.
