ARTIST ON-SITE: Kay Mei Ling Beadman

Kay Mei Ling Beadman will be at RMIT Gallery from 11am – 5pm on Thursday 27 July creating another version of her ongoing work 'Invisibility Cloak'. Come say hello for your chance to learn about the making process and have a conversation with the artist.

Kay Mei Ling Beadman is an artist, researcher and co-founder of Hidden Space, an independent artist-run space in Hong Kong. She uses her own Chinese and English mixed heritage as an autoethnographic springboard to explore aspects of complex dual identity formation, drawing on embodied aspects of lived experience amid socio-politically and culturally constructed assumptions. Her practice is multidisciplinary and includes installation, video, painting, text and performance. Beadman was born in England, zigzagged between Hong Kong and the UK growing up, but has lived and worked permanently in Hong Kong since 1999. She has a BFA from the University of Reading, UK, an MFA from RMIT University, Australia, and is currently a PhD candidate at the School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong.

'Closer Together' opens Tuesday 20 June, for further information visit rmitgallery.com.
