Kelly Wu works across the disciplines of sculpture, installation, and performance. Their practice engages with memory and culture through the use of found objects and personal archives. Themes of race, gender, and class recur in the work and are then withheld or obscured by ungenerous, secretive forms. Writing and ‘life-art’ performances support and extend these ideas.

Wu was born in Essex to immigrant parents from Beijing. They are currently living and working in London. 

Recent exhibitions include Missing Angel at Small-Time Project, GLORY BOX at the Shop at Sadie Coles HQ, and the East Wing Biennial at the Courtauld Institute of Art. Wu is reading MA Fine Art at the Slade School of Fine Art after completing their undergraduate degree at Central Saint Martins.
