BIO
Kaixin Chen (b. Guangdong, CN), an Amsterdam-based artist and publisher focused on experimental publishing, not through books, but by organising short gatherings around the dining situation. Drawing from East Asian literature and philosophies of nature, Chen uses food, audiovisual, minimal prints to explore the theme of ineffable emotional experiences.
