Working with digital media – videos, interactive video installations, and video games – Lin examines tensions and binaries, deconstruction and reconstruction. After graduating from her study of painting at Xiamen University’s Art Academy in 2003, Meiya Lin relocated to the Netherlands and undertook a master’s degree at the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam, graduating in 2005. Here she specialised in video, and the early promise of her work was rewarded with an invitation from the world-acclaimed Rijksakademie to be a resident artist for two years. Many of Lin’s works explore her personal memories of collectivism versus individual aspiration in China.

The White Rabbit Collection is one of the world’s most extensive and significant collections of contemporary art from China.
