How to use this guide
Use this guide to move beyond short biographies and image-only social feeds. Each profile points toward a source where projects, exhibitions, media and professional context can be checked. The selection spans artists working in China and internationally, with practices across painting, sculpture, installation, performance, moving image and material research. Names remain in their original or officially published form, while supporting metadata connects the artists to cities, mediums and related institutions. When an artist has no standalone website, the profile relies on clearly identified first-party accounts or multiple independent professional sources rather than presenting a press article as an official site.
