Kan Xuan was born in 1972 in Xuan Cheng, Anhui Province, China. Lives and works in Beijing and Amsterdam. Kan Xuan's video and installation works often incorporate static objects and enduring landscapes. She is interested in exploring the relationship between individuals' subjectivity and the external world, how these relationships form and dissolve, and if art making can provide ways to make new ones. Simple yet incisive, intelligent yet sensorial, her artistic language seeks the tension and balance between narratives and poetics. Kan applies a sincere and inquisitive self to her practice, whether by examining the prosaic details of quotidian life or engaging complex historical topics, she spends long periods of time with her subjects, an approach that lends her work a unique and focused tempo against the ever-accelerating, overwhelming rush of contemporary life.
