Chan Ting (she/they, b. 1993, Hong Kong) is an multidisciplinary artist working with sculpture, installation and sound.
CHAN’s works have exhibited and been collected both nationally and internationally including Hong Kong, France, Singapore, Sweden and Switzerland.
She considers herself a wanderer whose work is to explore the relationships among people, cities, and nature. Traversing the everyday and extraordinary elements of the city, the artist incorporates found objects and ready-made materials. Her practice explores the psychic fabric of contemporary imaging with found objects and materials, which often emerges from a stream of consciousness process with a particular focus on a poetic dialogue between image and sound.
Her practice focuses on researching the colour green, particularly its phenomenon during and after World War II, including its use in military contexts and its subsequent adaptations and applications in various parts of the world.
She has participated in artist residency at Para Site (HK) (November 2023- February 2024), and Foo Tak Building from Art and Cultural Outreach (HK), being co-founder and artist-curator of the independent artist-run space Negative Space (2019–2022). She has been awarded grants from institutions in Hong Kong, including the Friends of the CUHK Art Museum Research Grant (2022) and Para Site’s NoExit Grant for Unpaid Artistic Labour (2020).
CHAN Ting received her Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts and Master's degree in Fine Arts (Art Creation) from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2019 and 2023.
She works and lives at Hong Kong.
