Ao Jing (b.1993) currently works and lives in Beijing. She graduated from Goldsmiths College, University of London and the Royal College of Art’s Contemporary Art Practice (Pathway: Public Sphere). Ao’s artworks explore how different materials transformed into varied series of sculptures, performances and visuals under artistic expressions in different environments. In turn, the ambiguous relationship between “material” and “immaterial”, “conscious” and “unconscious”, is explored in a non-dualistic context.

Compared to the current mode of artistic production, which is dominated by dialectical thinking, Ao’s work is more narrative literature, constantly asks questions and wanders through doubts. In the process, all her attitudes, choices, confusions, etc. about life are honestly presented in her works.

Her solo exhibition includes: Theory of Emotion, SUHE HAUS – Skyline, Shanghai, CN (2024); In the Pit, Magician Space, Beijing, CN (2023).
