Ghislaine Leung is a British conceptual artist. Her work uses score-based instructions to radically redistribute and constitute the terms of artistic production. For Leung, limitations, felt as personal, institutional, structural or systemic to the parameters of industry, are engaged in as means to institute differently. Born in Stockholm, Sweden to a father from Hong Kong and a mother from London, she was raised first in Reims, France and then in London, England. She received a BA Fine Art in Context at the University of the West of England in 2002 and a Masters in Aesthetics and Art Theory at the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy at Middlesex University in 2009. Between 2004 and 2014 she worked at Tate and LUX, London. Leung has had solo exhibitions at Kunstahlle Basel, Renaissance Society, Chicago, Simian, Copenhagen, Maxwell Graham, New York; Ordet, Milan, Italy; Museum Abteiberg, Mönchengladbach, Germany; Cabinet, London, UK; Netwerk, Aalst, Belgium; Kunstlerhaus Stuttgart, Germany; Chisenhale, London, UK; Reading International, Reading, UK; Cell Project Space, London, UK and WIELS, Brussels, Belgium. Her work has previously been in group exhibitions at A Tale of a Tub, Rotterdam, HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark, Graz, The Renaissance Society, Chicago, IL; British Art Show 9, CAPC, Bordeaux, France; Kunstverein Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany; Simian, Copenhagen, Denmark; Geneva Biennale, Geneva, Switzerland; Goldsmiths CCA, London, UK; Helmhaus Zürich, Switzerland; Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen, Düsseldorf, Germany; By Art Matters, Hangzhou, China; Museion, Bolzano, Italy; KW Institute , Berlin, Germany; Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead, UK; WIELS, Brussels, Belgium; Camden Art Centre, London, UK; FRAC Lorraine, Metz, France; Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, UK; Fri Art, Kunsthalle Friborg, Friborg, Switzerland and elsewhere.
