Guan Xiao, born in 1983, currently works and lives in Beijing. The art practice of Guan Xiao mainly focuses on sculpture, video, and installations. Through “highly-collaging”, based on various subjects, Guan Xiao assimilates her own identity, history, and geographical background into virtual characters or species, imbuing them with a new literal identity. She attempts to emphasize the importance of difference by creating contradictions between material and concept. Her work has been featured at Kunstmuseum St. Gallen(CH); Bonner Kunstverein(DE); ICA, London; CAPC Museum of Contemporary Art of Bordeaux (FR); Jeu de Paume (FR); M HKA Museum of Contemporary Art (BE); the K11 Art Foundation, Shanghai; São Paulo Art Biennial (2021); 57th Venice Biennale (2017); 9th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art (2016); 13e Biennale de Lyon (2015); 2015 Triennial: Surround Audience, New Museum, New York (2015). Her work is also in the collections of Museum Ludwig (DE); Kunstmuseum St. Gallen (CH).
