Zeyuan Ren (b. 1997, Ningbo, China), lives and works in Providence, RI, is a visual artist whose work engages with displacement and in-betweenness. Incorporating photography, video, performance and installation, his recent practice takes place and evolves on coasts, examining how the linear model of time and history is distorted and ruptured by the ocean, musing on the connection between the ocean and forgetting, memory, haunting, and alternative knowledge.
Ren’s work has been exhibited and screened internationally, including at the de Young Museum (San Francisco, US), Microscope Gallery (New York, US), Sol Koffler Gallery (Providence, US), Photo Open Up Festival (Padua, IT), Jimei X Arles International Photo Festival (Xiamen, CN), Ningbo Museum of Art (Ningbo, CN) and more. He has been a finalist in the UCCA Lab Emerging Artists Program (2022) and a recipient of the Graduate Commons Grant (2023). He recently received his MFA in Photography at the Rhode Island School of Design.
