Bettina Fung | 馮允珊 is a Hong Kong born, British-Chinese artist based in London. She creates two dimensional, performative and site-specific works that delve into the subjects of ritual, futility, legacy and belonging, productivity and progress. With a strong interest in the ideas of ‘commoning’ and collective creative action, her more recent works are associated with the themes of shared authorship and the dynamics within working and building together.
Bettina has exhibited nationally and abroad and was the recipient of awards such as the a-n Artist Information Company’s New Collaborations Bursary in 2014 and Arts Council England’s Grants for the Arts award in 2018. She was commissioned by Aspex Portsmouth in 2021 for their Aspex (life begins) at 40 programme that resulted in an online long durational performance and text-based game “The Sea Changes Into Words”. Bettina also participated in Syllabus IV (2018/19), an alternative peer-led artist development and learning programme delivered by six UK arts institutions, and was awarded the Airspace Gallery’s Artists Make Change bursary in 2020 to instigate a peer-led learning group to research the subject of artists making social change.
