00 Zhang (b. 1996) is a Chinese-born London-based emerging artist who is gaining a reputation with her innovative explorations of a sensibility she terms ‘a double-sided exile’ – entwined feelings of dislocation and connection. Thematically her practice investigates the potential of a new form of collective imagination to transcend the borders of national identity, gender, and religion. Her multifaceted practice which includes numerous collaborators, spans sculpture, installation, CGI animation, and interactive digital game environments. Zhang blends embodiment with complex cybernetic concepts, depicting the integration of agents and their environments through elaborate narratives. Exploring the integration of the real world and the virtual, Zhang constructs imaginary worlds that occupy real space – immersive environments that engage viewers and transport them between corporeality and the virtual realm. Zhang currently has newly commissioned work in the exhibition <em>X Virtual Gathering: Honey</em> at X Museum, Beijing (2024). Zhang graduated in 2020 from Central Saint Martins, London, and has exhibited at SPLIT, London (2024); Zabludowicz Collection, London (2023); GIANT, Bournemouth (2023); Broadway Gallery, Nottingham (2022); 789 Nanjing West Road, Shanghai (2022); Thetis S.p.A. Castello, Venice (2022), and Shanghai Coutts Art Center, Shanghai (2021).
