Cao Shuyi (b. 1990, Guangzhou; lives and works in New York, USA) earned a Bachelor of Laws (2013) and a Master of Public Management (2016) from Fudan University, and an MFA from Parsons School of Design (2018). She currently serves as Visiting Assistant Professor at Pratt Institute, and has held residencies at Guangdong Times Museum, New Museum’s NEW INC (New York), Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity (Canada), Power Station of Art (Shanghai), Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, among others. Her practice combines sculpture, installation, video, and writing, taking the form of speculative archaeology and ecological science fiction to explore the alchemy of creation and knowledge, and the pluralistic relationships among technology, myth, and cosmology; through multi-media narratives traversing geological and microscopic scales, she meditates on cross-species kinship, diasporic matter, and non-human planetary poetics. Her multi-media installations integrate inorganic and organic materials, natural and artificial processes, joining hand-sculpting with digital technology, video, and sound to embody a heterogeneous recomposition of material temporality; her methodology merges multi-dimensional space-time and material transformation, including mixed-media sculptures fabricated from site-specific geological and biological elements, combined with virtual landscapes and fossils constructed through digital tools. Recent institutional exhibitions include the duo exhibition “Undersea Flame” at UCCA Ceramic Art Museum (2026), the duo exhibition “嬑形陌客” (Yì Xíng Mò Kè) at Para Site, Hong Kong (2023), and group exhibitions at Orange County Museum of Art, California (2025), the 11th Quebec National Biennial of Contemporary Sculpture (2024), He Art Museum, Foshan (2023), Aranya Art Center, Beidaihe (2023), Hyundai Motorstudio Beijing (2023), Ming Contemporary Art Museum, Shanghai (2021), Today Art Museum, Beijing (2021), and New York Foundation for the Arts (2021), among others.
