Based in Beijing, b. 1987

Song Yang was born in Liaoning, China, and graduated from the Sculpture Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2013. His practice focuses on sculpture and kinetic structures, exploring tension, force, and perception through the physical and conceptual limits of linear materials, particularly steel wire.

Yang’s work is characterized by the use of centrifugal motion and material stress, where steel wire is stretched, rotated, and pulled to its structural extremes. These processes generate dynamic spatial compositions that record traces of speed, energy, and rupture, transforming invisible forces into visible sculptural forms.

Through ongoing investigations of movement, balance, and instability, his practice constructs environments where stability and dispersion coexist. By engaging light, rotation, and tension as active elements, Yang examines the shifting boundaries between order and collapse, positioning sculpture as a field of continuously unfolding physical and perceptual experience.
