Lives and works in New York, NY

Stella Zhong currently lives and works in New York, NY. She holds a BFA in Glass from Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA in Sculpture from Yale University.

Stella Zhong‘s work brings together vast planes and particulate objects in idiosyncratic forms verging on the geometric, infrastructural, and at times, seemingly alive or even edible; her installation discloses only a sliver of this acute scale–shift, compressing layered contexts to the periphery. Engaging with physics, architecture, and personal, playful imagination, Zhong makes tactile both the cosmic and the internal, destabilizing definitions at every turn. She builds spaces precisely to break them down into somewhere metaphysical—often with a precarious placement, an inaccessible zone, a thin thread—in which centers shift and powers become unsettled: incommensurable states intersecting to create new histories.

Zhong has had solo exhibitions at Antenna Space, Shanghai, CN; The Intermission, Piraeus, GRC; Chapter NY; Fanta-MLN, Milan; Adams and Ollman, Portland, OR; and Guan Shan Yue Art Museum, Shenzhen; among others. Zhong has exhibited internationally at The Powerstation, Dallas, TX; Asia Art Society, Houston, TX; Leeum Museum of Art, Seoul; SculptureCenter, Queens, NY; The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield, CT; Deborah Schamoni, Munich; Grimm Gallery, London/New York; Galerie Wschód, Warsaw/New york; Galerie Marguo, Paris; in lieu, Los Angeles, CA; Peana, Mexico City; YveYANG, New York; Mana Contemporary, Jersey City; HUA International, Beijing; and more. Her work has been reviewed on FlashArt, ArtAsiaPacific, Mousse Magazine, Texte zur Kunst, The New York Times, Art in America, among others.
