Curator
\nBill Aitchison
\nChinese European Art Center (CEAC)<\/p>\n

Bill Aitchison is a British theatre director and performance artist based in China. He has presented his shows widely in galleries, museums, theatres and festivals in Europe, Asia, America, Australia and The Middle East, has exhibited in major museums and galleries and his artwork is held in both private collections and museums. He is curator of the Chinese performance platform Last Minute Live Art, holds a practice-based PhD from Goldsmiths College University of London, and is an associate professor at Xiamen University.<\/p>\n

Yi Chen currently lives in Xiamen, China. He received an MFA from the School of Visual Arts in 2019. Chen walks around between digital and analog in photography. His photographs have always been about the perception of reality versus reality by creating their own sense of place, yet they are often manipulated digitally or shot in studio environments\u2014thus evoking a sense of alienation through both form and content. <\/p>\n

Jaime Ekkens has worked for some of the biggest names in television and media in New York including Yahoo!, Hearst, CBS News, Nickelodeon, ABC News and NBC Sports. Having received a BFA from Kendall Collage of Art and Design in 2007, she moved to New York City and successfully pursued her MFA in Computer Arts at The School of Visual Arts. Her independent short films have been
\nscreened in international film festivals all over the globe and won numerous awards
\nboth in New York, Los Angeles, and abroad.<\/p>\n

Jin Jing, born in Huangshi, graduated from Xiamen University and Sandberg Instituut\uff0cnow works
\nand lives in Xiamen, China. The main issues of her work are about individual life and living
\nconditions in the urban space, as well as our own situation in the \u201cworld”, and present the
\nexperience of being double marginalized in the natural landscape and urban jungle from the
\nperspective of non-human center.<\/p>\n

Liu Yuanyuan\u2019s artistic practice stems from the dual pursuits of cognizing the true self and
\nexploring the freedom, and during this process, she has been building a self-consistent creation
\nsystem\u2014\u2014the \u201cBottle\u201d, which is an analytical methodology, contains concepts such as transitional
\nabstraction, deconstruction-construction-reconstruction, geometric structure, and shadow zone.
\nMeaningless is the core concept of the Bottle, which means space, interspace, and nothing. At
\nthe same time, she created the Bottle Language, which is the imagined community in the sense
\nof the Bottle. The Bottle Language is like the minimal sequence, and the artist composes music
\nwith spiritual feelings through the way of cyclic repetition and trans shape sequences. For her,
\nart creation is a pursuit of a sense of existence. She aims to construct a meaningless poetic world,
\nbecause she believes that the free-land only can be reached without meanings.<\/p>\n

Michelle Lewis-King\u2019s projects explore cosmological approaches to the embodied performance of
\nmedicine and technology in a globalised world. Drawing on her experience as an artist and
\nacupuncturist, Michelle restages the Chinese medicine encounter to provoke reconsideration of
\nwhat the body \u2018is\u2019 and can do- and to illuminate how traditional East Asian medicine practices
\ncombine poetic and scientific thinking together to diversify perspectives on the body, medicine,
\nwellbeing and healing.<\/p>\n
