宋兮1983年生于黑龙江省齐齐哈尔市，达斡尔族，2006年毕业于大连轻工业学院，现工作生活于北京，上海。

宋兮的艺术创作注重身体为媒介的表达。高度的意识形态在社会化的身体中，隐藏着多重身份，同时附有政治属性。身体自身的肉感、情感所产生的温度和思考以不固定的作品形式呈现，温暖隐藏在极简的形式中，从而在身体、情感、物质之间建立多重身份交融的某种未知关系。常以陌生化的认知、经验在惯性的秩序中出离，往往发生“错误”的判断，对身体情感造成故意的“伤害”。在输出情感的同时，他还常以项目的形式探究身体、社会，政治的关系，在固有的系统之内之外构建新的可能。

Song Xi was born in 1983 with Daur nationality, Heilongjiang Province, China. He graduated from Art and Design College in University of Light Industry, Dalian in 2006, and currently lives and works in Beijing.

Song Xi’s artistic creation focuses on the body as an expressive medium. Inside of a socialised body, highly developed ideologies conceal their multiple identities - which also bear certain political message. The physicality of flesh and sensory reaction of the body itself generate corporeal warmth and intellectual reflections, which are represented in unsettled forms of art. Such warmth and reflections become disguised in visually minimal forms, thus establishing some kind of unspeakable relations that embody interwoven multi-identities. Alienated perception and experience that deviate a routine order, could often lead to “false” judgement, consequentially imposing a conscious “abuse” upon corporeal sensation. Apart from exploring the ways how body could deliver emotion and sensation, Song Xi also works on research projects that study the interrelation between body, society and politics, inaugurating new possibilities beyond the established system.
