Lena

Personal narrative and social fact are not separate territories. Lena builds exhibitions where the two collide — rooms that ask viewers to look again at where they stand.

Currently completing graduate study at East China Normal University, she has staged fifteen projects since 2022: solo and group exhibitions in repeat collaboration with Cub_ism_ Artspace, presentations at West Bund Art & Design, and public commissions from Shanghai to Shenzhen and Wuxi.

Her method stays close to the studio. A show begins with what an artist is actually wrestling with — then the room does the arguing: pacing, pairings and silences that carry a private preoccupation out into public space. The projects range from a first solo exhibition to sculptures loose in a shopping street; the conviction is the same at every scale.
