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.
