The publication is produced on the occasion of solo exhibition of Chinese artist Song Kun of the same title held at the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing from June to July 2012.
'Song Kun is a painter of surfaces, of mental states, of fleeting feelings, and of lingering symbols. There is a poetry to the world Song Kun proposes. The current cycle of paintings, "A Thousand Kisses Deep", shows how far her explorations have taken her in the intervening years. The twenty-some images presented here are the product of two years of work, bearing the marks of extended deliberation. The subject matter unfolds coherently but not exactly predictably: Inner Mongolian punks, cyborg girls, and jellyfish all make appearances, split along either side of an imagined line between spirituality and carnality that dissect the central Nave of the exhibition space, and that finds separation between the front and back of this fold-out book.' - excerpted from introduction.
Including plates and biography of Song Kun.
