Yue Xiang is a multimedia artist, currently based in San Francisco, CA.
My name is 项玥 Yue Xiang (they/them). I am a queer immigrant Chinese-American artist by the way of Guangzhou, Raleigh, Philadelphia and now residing in San Francisco. I work in installation, sculpture, film, and performance. I hope to honor my ancestors and find freedom and healing through my approach and process with material and labor.
Some questions that I am currently pondering are: How does one’s body transform materials, through time, through labor? How do memories live, in this world and beyond?
Some keywords that I am exploring now: grieving rituals, language, translation, queer aesthetics and object hood.
When I am not making art, I love to dance. Some styles I practice are waacking, heels, house and hip hop but I don’t believe that movements are defined by genres. I love to read, walk around, drink coffee, sit in parks, entertain my cat Ruby and eat good food.
