​YuYing CHAN

Yu Ying (Yuying) Chan is a curator and researcher with a background in visual art. She delves into fictive curation to explore different ways of curation and storytelling. Her curatorial pursuits orbit around cultural representation, nomadism, otherness, and temporality through a metaphysical and fictional lens. Bringing elements of imagination and fiction into curatorial practice challenges the traditional notions of exhibition making, allowing abstraction to explore and envision a brunch of a narrative for the temporality.

Fictioning is her curatorial methodology. The beauty of art is cored to the imagination and artists’ ability to dream and contemplate the future. Fiction is a tool of narration and storytelling for us to study the future through the prism of the past and present to shape the world we aspire to inhabit. It is also a tool to rebel against reality and help to envision and form the path to the desired future.

Growing up in different countries, Yuying experienced life like a radicant in many cultures. She developed a strong interest in researching cultural representation and cultural belongings in an era of unprecedented mobility and connectivity, traditional notions of fixed identities and cultural boundaries are continually challenged.
