INFO — Kehan Lai

^{︎Contact: kehanlai@gmail.com ︎ CV}^{Kehan Lai (b.1998) is a photo-based
artist who lives between New York and Shanghai. Her work
straddles between the simulacrum and the authentic, transforms the mundane into
the symbolic, and explores the materiality of photo prints. Her practice
comprises a laborious process of information-gathering, material-assembling,
and scene-building.

She received the BFA photography
degree from the Parsons School of Design. Her recent solo exhibitions include
“Undulation” (EDA, Shenzhen, 2023); group exhibitions include “Center Annual”
(Houston Center for Photography, Texas, 2023), “Art Nova 100” (Guardian Art
Center, Beijing, 2023), “Unbound 11” (Candela Gallery, Richmond, 2022), and
“Rea Arte” (Fabbrica del Vapore, Milan, 2022). She was the finalist for The New
Photography Award at the Ballarat International Foto Biennale (Ballarat, 2019)
and completed an artistic residency at Swatch Art Peace Hotel (Shanghai,
2021-2022).}^{Kehan is also the creator behind the photography podcast Iridescener.}
