Shu Lea Cheang: KI$$ KI$$ Kill Kill
through July 3, 2025
at Haus der Kunst in Munich, Germany

The first institutional survey exhibition of Shu Lea Cheang (b. 1954, Tainan, Taiwan) takes the taiwanese-american artist’s first feature film Fresh Kill (1994) as a starting point, presenting the artist and filmmaker’s world-building practices and updating works from the past three decades. The title is a warning so that we will not kill our environement.

Shu Lea Cheang’s moving image works walk a line between art, film and pornography. The Taiwanese-American artist has made four stridently queer feature-length works among others Fresh Kill (1994).
