Li Mu was born in 1974, Feng County, Jiangsu Province, China and lives and works in Feng County and Su Zhou of China. He graduated from the Suzhou School of Art and Design, Suzhou in 1995 and the Academy of Art of Tsinghua University, Beijing in 2001. Li Mu created works of different categories, including video, photography, installation and performance. He looked forward to transcending the boundaries of himself and broadening his understanding towards art via these works. Everyday life played an important role in his works. A relationship between the environment, the general public and him was established, blurring the boundary between art and life by resorting to his life experience. Li Mu had Fellowship of Asia Culture Council (ACC) and 5 months residency program in ISCP in New York in 2012.
