China

Daiqing Zhang (b. 1998, Beijing, China) now lives and works between Providence, RI and Los Angeles, CA, USA. Her practice is informed by phenomena in everyday life, and their transcendental and celestial significance. Zhang’s work often takes form in experience-charged installations underscored by phenomenology, recreating and staging serendipitous moments in space with hot glass. Zhang received MFA in Glass at the Rhode Island School of Design, RI, USA, and BA in Glass at the Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. Zhang has shown independently and collaboratively in national and international exhibitions, including a solo show Just Normal, Beijing China; a three-person show In Light of Lenses, Ladd Observatory, Providence, RI, USA; a selected group show I’d Rather Go Blind, curated by Ebony L. Haynes, Gelman Gallery, Providence, RI, USA. She is the recipient of many funds and grants from national and international institutes, including CVG, funded by VIS-A-THON, supported in part by the National Science Foundation. Zhang’s work has been featured in publications nationally and internationally, including New Glass Review 41.
