Born in 1996 in Chongqing, China. Tielin Ding is a wanderer, observer and mixed-media artist whose diverse practice involves working with playful objects, indeterminate traces and movements to create performative actions. His application of “Mapping” and “Walking” gives him more opportunity to reflect on invisible systems within urban and

natural spaces. 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 with a bachelor’s background in architecture engineering at Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture. He exhibited his works at Brand Library in California, KinoSaito/Rema Hort Mann Foundation/Garrison Art Center/Westbeth Gallery in New York, Fort Wayne Museum of Art in Indiana, Bemis Center in Nebraska, Noorderlicht International Photo Festival in Netherlands and Reclaim Award in Germany. Past residencies he attended include Abbott Watts Photography Residency at Monson Arts, Nars Foundation Satellite Residency on Governors Island, Ellis-Beauregard Foundation residency, Millay Arts, VCCA and Volland Foundation. He had his first solo exhibition at Nars Foundation in Brooklyn in 2023 and is currently preparing for his second solo exhibition at Real Art Ways in Hartford, CT scheduled in 2025.
