Jiayue Ding (b.1998, Hangzhou) is an artist, writer, and community organizer based in Shanghai and Amsterdam. She explores the intersections between the edges of sensory perception and the margins of society and history, often grounded in long-term, horizontal collaboration with local communities, engaging contexts shaped by unequal access and visibility. Weaving performance, ritual, collective actions, and mystical inquiry, she experiments with alternative ways of sensing, relating, and resisting—through the lens of spiritual activism—across the worlds of the seen and unseen.
Jia is a co-founder of the art research collective 沉洞泉 Cenote Cosmos, the art & activism group 透明的下午 Transparent Afternoon, and the Deaf-friendly clubbing label BassBath. Her past projects have been shown at Rockbund Museum, TANK Shanghai, Beijing Riverside Art Museum, Shanghai Himalaya Museum, DuoLun Museum of Modern Art, Vice China, Jiazazhi, XRK Psychiatric Ward, and the Kindergarten Without Walls, etc. She holds BA degrees in Sociology and Art History from UCLA.
丁佳悦 / 胖丁(b.1998, 杭州)是一名现居阿姆斯特丹的艺术家、写作者与社群组织者。她于2021年获得加州大学洛杉矶分校社会学和艺术史双学位。她的媒介横跨社会参与式艺术、剧场、影像与文字,在社会与感知的边缘生成替代性的关系场域。
胖丁关注“失身”与“失声”状态中共存的来自结构与历史的幽灵。她常借助仪式、游玩、梦境与半虚构的异世界观,探索身体如何承载并折射权力与集体叙事:或将不可言说的感受召回与转换,或通过新的感官空间,去松动那些被视为理所当然的秩序与边界。同时,她将合作视为互助的实践,持续与多元伙伴创造透明与无障碍的场域。
她是艺术实践项目“沉洞泉”、“透明的下午”和聋人友好派对厂牌“BassBath低音浴“的创始成员。她过去的创作实施于外滩美术馆、上海喜马拉雅美术馆,多伦美术馆、北京山水美术馆,油罐艺术中心、Imaginary Z、阿那亚、Bie别的、无墙幼儿园、武汉馨润康精神病院等。她的摄影作品集曾由假杂志出版。
