About the artist

(b. 1983, Chongqing, China) takes a playful approach to her sculpture, video, and installation artworks. She creates a visual language that breaks through historical and cultural boundaries by establishing diverse relationships between a variety of rich materials, and using collage to blend classical art with industrial manufacturing to build a unique form of contemporary art. She often juxtaposes physical objects—such as industrial products and cultural artifacts—alongside images amassed from scrolling through the infinite universe of desktop and laptop screens. Her works generate cohesive textures between binaries sourced from contrasting and even conflicting worlds, and fuse old and modern, digital and analogue, and natural and artificial modes. Attuned to both possibilities and looming hazards, Guan Xiao’s prescient and fascinating arrangements critique the technological thrust of the present moment while providing indelible visions of our dislocated, rapidly approaching future.
