Funa Ye born 1986, in Kunming, China. Currently doing Ph.D. at Slade School of Fine Art And teach at the Central Academy of Fine art in Beijing.

Funa’s practice is mainly concerned with the relationship between the realities of everyday life, the perceived connection between authority and many areas of social life such as different power structures, ethnic groups, and the fictional space of propaganda for the concept of ‘perfection’ in an ideological system, and utopian landscape. The work of Funa is rich in reference, parody, and irony of the uniform culture. Recently Funa is organizing some internet-based participatory, crowd-sourcing projects, such as Exhibitionist: Curated Nail and Peep Stream. She is using the internet to work with people, questioning how the art system may be incorporated into our private lives and social activities. Recent exhibitions include “Flow Out” Bilsart, Istanbul & isthisitisthisit.com; “We=Link: Ten Easy Pieces”, Chronus Art Center (Shanghai); Art Center Nabi (Seoul); and Rhizome of the New Museum (New York), 2020; “From Hand to Hand”， Nottingham Contemporary，2018.
