Born in 1969 in Fujian, China and lives in Beijing and Hangzhou, China. He is an artist, curator, writer and educator. As an artist, he develops activities that cross boundaries, such as presenting works with a fusion of photos, videos, writing, paintings, installations and performance. Based on an approach of national monuments, he expressed how dreams and reality on both the national and individual levels intersect with each other in a large modern habitat in “The Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge Project” presented at the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (Beijing, 2009). At the 57th Venice Biennale (2017), he curated the exhibition “Continuum – Generation by Generation.”
