Song Dong participated in a two-part residency at AAA in 2011 and 2012. Known for his innovative conceptual videos and photography reflecting the societal implications of modern China, Song utilises his residency to embark on a year-long project that involves his re-writing the last 36 years of history — including socio-political history, personal experience, and art history — from a personal perspective in the form of 36 hand-drawn wall calendars. The project was presented in the form of an exhibition with a public and collective component, in collaboration with M+. As part of his residency, Song Dong gave a talk revisiting his artistic development, which constantly explores the relationship between personal life, family memories, and art. For more details, please go to AAA Programme Page.
