CMP will host the Spring CMP Critique with guest critic Wu Tsang on February 7. CMP students will gather for a critique to which CMP students, faculty, guest artists, filmmakers, and curators are invited.
Wu Tsang is an award-winning filmmaker and visual artist who combines documentary and narrative techniques with fantastical detours into the imaginary. Her projects have been presented at museums, biennials, and film and theater festivals internationally, including the Venice Biennale (2022), Manifesta 15, Whitney Biennial (2012, 2022), SXSW (2012), Holland Festival (2022, 2024). Tsang is a 2018 MacArthur “Genius” Fellow, and she has won numerous awards including 2016 Guggenheim (Film/Video), 2018 Hugo Boss Prize Nominee, and Rockefeller Foundation. Wu Tsang received a BFA (2004) from the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) and an MFA (2010) from University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). From 2019-2024 she was a director-in-residence at the Schauspielhaus (City Theatre) Zürich. Tsang is known for her long-term collaborations, notably with Moved the Motion, a performance collective that she co-founded with Tosh Basco in 2013.
