Artist and curator, born in 1976, Guangzhou, currently works and lives in Guangzhou and New York.
Her works take painting as a starting point and draw inspiration from nature, emphasizing experience and process. Her practice covers a variety of media, including installation, animation, and new media. Through perceptions of multi-dimensional space and multiple angles, her works explore the state of instantly shifting and intertwining contradictions such as, the virtual and the real, spirit and matter, the quotidian and the demystified, the individual and the collective, the norm and the exception, etc. In recent years, she practices a way of life that endows the spiritual pursuit in the everyday through self-reserved land projects and maintains independently while resonating with the surroundings. Shen Ruijun graduated from the Oil Painting Department of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in 2000, received her MFA from Montcalm State University in 2004, and was rewarded the Joan Mitchell Award in the same year. She received her MFA in Painting from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2007, who was awarded the Toby Devan Lewis Fellowship. Her works were included in the 8th Shenzhen Ink Biennale (2013), the 2013 Shenzhen-Hong Kong Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture, and the 6th Guangzhou Triennial (2019). They have been collected by MAXXI, Italy, KADIST, Guangdong Museum of Fine Arts, the White Rabbit Collection, Australia, and the Teirochi Deleon Collection.
As a curator, Shen Ruijun has curated many successful exhibitions, including "Gentle Wave in Your Eye Fluid-A Pipilotti Rist Solo Exhibition" (2013), the “Pulse-Reaction" series (2012, 2016), and "Polit-Sheer-Form!" at Queens Museum of Art, New York (2014). She also co-curated the 6th Chengdu Biennale (2013). Her ongoing research and curatorial direction include using Chinese gardens as an entry point to study the ideological roots of Chinese culture, traditional culture-inspired approach to addressing the dilemmas faced in contemporary life, and the possibility of translating the spatiality of gardens into contemporary art practice. She has been curating a series of garden-related exhibitions since 2015.
Formerly the Chief Curator of Guangdong Times Art Museum (2014-2017), Shen Ruijun is currently the China program director of KADIST (San Francisco/Paris) and an independent artist.
