Kien Situ

Kien Situ is an artist whose practice traces entropy and absence.

Drawing from Sinospheric systems of thought and architectural training, his practice examines how perception is shaped through architecture, technology and infrastructure. Working across matter, sound and space, he explores contact and distance through thresholds of transparency and opacity, tracing how experiences of access and exclusion are skewed through time.

Situ participated in the 19th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia (2025) through HOME, the Australian Pavilion exhibition, where he undertook a residency. He has also undertaken residencies at Artspace and Bundanon, alongside research residencies in China. He has presented solo and group exhibitions with 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art, Artspace, Bankstown Arts Centre and Passage Gallery. He was shortlisted for the Create NSW Artspace Visual Arts Fellowship and the Lee Ufan Arles × Maison Guerlain Prix Art & Environment. He holds a Master of Architecture from the University of Sydney and a Bachelor of Architecture from UNSW.
