何迟1978年生于甘肃,2002年毕业于西安美术学院。2007年组织雄黄社。2011年组织南山绘画小组。2012年发起创办“我们说要有空间于是就有了空间”。2012-2014年参与编辑《艺术时代》杂志。
何迟以诗性行动和概念创造为核心,作品不拘一格,跨越诗歌、行为、装置、雕塑、录像、摄影、绘画、书法、策展等各种方式和媒介,往往使普通的物品、方便的材料、传统的对象、日常的生活激发出照亮自体的光辉。他立足于反复无常的时代背井离乡的个人具体独特的生存感觉和生命体验,考察清理自身赖以生活难以脱离的母语世界,探索华人族群华人文化如何面对人类的各种当代问题和文明危机,以及个体如何革命,个人如何发明和参与共同体的创造性建构的可能。

He Chi, B. 1978, Gansu Province, China. Graduated from the Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts. He co-founded the Xiong Huang Group in 2007 and the Nanshan Painting Group in 2012. He was also a co-founder of the We Said Let There Be Space and There Was Space in 2012. He was co-editor of the ARTTIME magazine from 2012-14.
Focusing on poetic actions and the creation of concepts, He Chi's works are not confined to specific forms but cover a variety of media, including poetry, performance art, installation, sculpture, video, photography, painting, calligraphy and curation, among others. His works usually illuminate the brilliance of ordinary objects, found materials, traditional subjects, and daily life. Grounded in his unique sense of survival and life experience of being uprooted from his hometown in the age of uncertainty, he sought to investigate and clarify his native linguistic world in which he inescapably abides. He attempts to explore how Chinese people and culture face humanity’s various contemporary problems and civilizational crises, how individuals revolutionize themselves, and how they invent and participate in the creative construction of the community.
