Mingdong Sun Opens Solo Exhibition, Impotent Pegasus, at The Sculpture Center
Mingdong Sun, Victim, 2019
Artist and curator Mingdong Sun (MFA Sculpture 2020), currently based in Shanghai, China, opens a new solo exhibition at The Sculpture Center in Cleveland, OH this month. Impotent Pegasus features Sun’s work composed of found objects, found concepts, or found origami, becoming fairytale imaginary creatures – symbols that reflect his thinking about his relationship with society. Through his practice, Sun seeks to analyze the sympathies of human desires to heal childhood trauma on a personal and societal level.
Sun was awarded this solo exhibition following his participation in The Sculpture Center’s exhibition The Shape of Sculpture: Recent Cranbrook Graduates in 2020.
Impotent Pegasus opens on May 12, 2023 and is on view through June 24, 2023. An artist talk, “Queer as Myth Maker: an Artist Talk with Mingdong Sun,” will take place on May 11, 2023 from 5:30pm to 6:30pm, where Sun will share his current thinking on the criticality of queer art.
