Zhou Song (b. 1982, Jiangxi, China) graduated from the Tianjin Academy  of Fine Arts in 2006. His paintings and sculptures explore intersections  between machine aesthetics and biomorphism at the nexus of art, science and  philosophy;  they  imagine  futures  at  once  posthuman  and  deeply humane.  Whether  questioning  the  potential  outcomes  of  contemporary sciences, or the impact of the constant expansion of the universe on human  desire  and  destiny,  Zhou’s  paintings  thrive  in  a  state  of  contradiction and openness.

 

In recent years, he has held solo exhibitions at the Powerlong Museum in Shanghai,  Osthaus  Museum  in  Hagen,  the  Kunstraum  Villa  Friede  in  Bonn, the Guardian Art Center in Beijing, the How Art Museum and the Today Art Museum. His work has also been exhibited in group exhibitions nationally and internationally, including at NordArt 2024 and NordArt2023 in Budelsdorf, the European Cultural Centre Art Biennale in Venice, the 13th  Havana  Biennale,  the  3rd  International  Robo-Philosophy  2018 Conference in Vienna, the 11th Florence Biennale in Italy, Museum of Modern Art in Barcelona, the Grand Palace in France, the Fortezza da Basso in Florence, the University of Vienna, the European Art Center in Venice, the YBL Creative House in Budapest, Sotheby's in Los Angeles, the  Toronto  Center  for  the  Arts,  Palacio  Schacht  in  Chile,  the  Inga Garcilaso Culture Center in Peru, the Panama Contemporary Art Gallery, the Costa Rica National Gallery, the National Art Museum of China, the Today Art Museum, the Beijing Guardian Art Center, the Beijing Times Art Museum, Guangdong Art Museum, the Shenzhen Guan Shanyuan Art Museum, the He Xiangning Art Museum and many more locations.
