Annie Chen Ziyao

Curator/Artist

Curatorial Projects

Annie Chen Ziyao is a New York–based curator / artist whose practice focuses on the social and emotional lives of objects. Her research examines how functional and designed objects move between art, design, and everyday life, and how they shape human behavior, memory, and modes of living. Drawing from a background in visual culture and new media, she approaches objects as active agents within social systems, curating exhibitions that blur the boundaries between art and use, and reframe art as something to be lived with rather than merely observed.
