He Chi, B.1978, Gansu Province, China. Graduated from the Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts. He co-founded the Xiong Huang Group in 2007 and the Nanshan Painting Group in 2012. He was also a co-founder of the We Said Let There Be Space and There Was Space in 2012. He was co-editor of the ARTTIME magazine from 2012-14.

Focusing on poetic actions and the creation of concepts, He Chi's works are not confined to specific forms but cover a variety of media, including poetry, performance art, installation, sculpture, video, photography, painting, calligraphy and curation, among others. His works usually illuminate the brilliance of ordinary objects, found materials, traditional subjects, and daily life. Grounded in his unique sense of survival and life experience of being uprooted from his hometown in the age of uncertainty, he sought to investigate and clarify his native linguistic world in which he inescapably abides. He attempts to explore how Chinese people and culture face humanity’s various contemporary problems and civilizational crises, how individuals revolutionize themselves, and how they invent and participate in the creative construction of the community.
