Tielin Ding, born in 1996 in China, is a wanderer, observer and mixed-media artist whose is interested in repetition of forms and movements, operation of chances and metaphors. Under the practice of way-finding, mark-making and game-changing, he has been very interested in drifting in the field of language and space, risking getting lost from point A to point B. He graduated from MFA in photography and related media at Parsons School of Design, The New School in NYC. Residency programs he attended include Ellis-Beauregard Foundation, Abbott Watts Residency at Monson Art, Swatch Art Peace Hotel, Nars Foundation and Edward Albee Foundation (January 2026).
