Ep.33 | Artist Kay Mei Ling Beadman on expanding Hong Kong’s fixed boundaries, belonging and her invisibility cloaks.
Description
In this episode I travelled to Kwai Hing in Hong Kong's New Territories and visited artist and researcher Kay Mei Ling Beadman in her studio. Kay shared her experience of being an Eurasian in the U.K. and Hong Kong, why she co-founded artist-run Hidden Space and the role of critiquing in the emergence of art.
Kay Mei Ling Beadman is an artist, researcher and co-founder of Hong Kong artist-run initiative Hidden Space. She uses her Chinese and white English mixed ethnicity to explore aspects of complex dual identity formation, often focusing on embodied aspects of lived experience amid socio-politically and culturally constructed assumptions around race. Her practice is multidisciplinary and includes installation, video, painting and text. She has a BFA from the University of Reading, UK, an MFA from RMIT, Australia and is currently a PhD candidate at the School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong. Kay was born in England, zigzagged between HK and UK growing up, but has lived and worked permanently in Hong Kong since 1999. She has exhibited in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Serbia, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka and the UK.
