Minstrel Kuik Sold at Auction Prices

b. 1976 -

Minstrel Kuik, is a Chinese Malaysian born in Pantai Remis in 1976. After earning a Bachelor of Fine Art degree in Taiwan, she obtained her master’s degree in photography in Arles, France. As a social actor, Kuik continues to undergo tensions coming from different ideologies, social bounds, identities and interests.

Not only these daily experiences help position herself between the political society and the authorities, they also shape her artistic practice. With a belief that the private space is the major battlefield of ideological, political and economic interests, she explores art as a historical trajectory where the personal mutation through the process of reading, thinking, making and revisiting is traceable and reflective, and hopefully, transformative.
