Biography (EN)
Kexin Hao (CN, 1993) is a performance artist and graphic designer born in Beijing and based in The Netherlands. What lies at the core of her art making is the creation of experiences addressing history, society and heritage through bodily engagement. The body in her practice is the research subject, the medium, and site where things happen and evolve.
Kexin’s work is interdisciplinary, research-based, hybrid and participatory. She likes to think beyond the boundaries between art and “non art” spaces, and between categories such as design, theatre, game, clubbing, cooking, fitness and wellness. Kexin combines a variety of media including video, games, printed matter, choreography, music, and food. She aims to provide the audience with playful, collective and on-site experiences which are fun while also shining new perspectives on specific topics of social relevance.
Biography (CN)
郝可欣是一位在北京长大现在生活在荷兰的艺术家和设计师。她于2021年毕业于海牙皇家美术学院平面设计系,2024年在Jan van Eyck学院做驻留艺术家。
她艺术创作的核心是通过身体参与来创造多样的体验,以探讨社会历史性和环境议题。在她的实践中,身体不仅是研究的对象,也是媒介,是一切发生和演变的场所。
郝可欣的作品纵横着艺术领域之间的边界:平面设计、影像艺术、行为表演和音乐等等。如此的实践,游走于美术馆、教室、音乐节和俱乐部之中,也在挑战着艺术空间和非艺术空间之间的边界。郝可欣善于利用大众形式(如体操、说唱、舞蹈游戏、吃播)构造全新体验。她的作品结合多种媒体,并使用大胆的视觉语言和听觉体验,混合着亲密的个体经历和宏大的集体叙事,用幽默化解历史的沉重。同时,观众通过她的作品能得到充满乐趣和集体氛围感、身临其境的交互式体验。
