Chow and Lin
趙與林(b.1980)
Chow and Lin comprises Stefen Chow (b. 1980) and Huiyi Lin (b. 1980). They are a Singaporean artist duo based in Beijing. They work on scale across geography and time, connecting complex systems to daily lived experience. The crux of their practice lies in their methodology of statistical, mathematical and research techniques. Their projects are driven by the discursive backgrounds in economics, public policy, media, and these are augmented by exchanges with specialists across disciplines.
Chow and Lin have exhibited at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Arles Les Rencontres De La Photographie, Art Basel Hong Kong, Lahore Biennale, National University of Singapore Museum and the United Nations Conference Centre in Bangkok. Their works are in the permanent collections of MoMA, China Central Academy of Fine Arts Museum, Art Vontobel. They are authors of The Poverty Line (published by Actes Sud and Lars Müller Publishers, 2021) which is in the collections of the MoMA Library, Centre Pompidou Bpi, V&A Museum Library and National Gallery Singapore. They are recipients of the Berlin Falling Walls Breakthrough Awards – Science in the Arts (2020), IMPART Art Prize (2022), Global TED Fellows (2024).
