Ella Wang Olsson
English BIO
Ella Wang Olsson, also known as xiexie3lla is a Swedish Chinese multidisciplinary artist researching the practice of celebration, healing and spirit. Their work grows though mind maps and visions, working with a harmony of contrasting forces. This is informed from their experience in Eastern and Western contexts combining philosophical teachings such as Daoism (Lao Zi) and Society of Acéphale (Bataille) with modern rituals of rave, party and addiction. Through an orchestrated visual climax, Ella paints their experience though performance, video and drawings. They are critical towards the viewership of art today, passionate about creating dialogues that support open practices.
Ella is currently based and working in Shanghai as an artist, MC, DJ and co-founder of hybrid platform, DOBADNOW. She has exhibited and performed internationally
Chinese BIO
Ella Wang Olsson，又名 xiexie3lla，是一位瑞典华裔跨学科艺术家，关注“庆祝、疗愈与灵性”的实践。她的创作从思维导图和视觉意象中生长，在对立力量的碰撞与平衡中不断演变。这种方式受到她在东西方文化之间游走的经历影响，融合道家哲学(老子）和《屋头社会》(乔治·巴塔耶)思想，与现代派对、狂欢、成瘾等仪式实践。通过精心编排的视觉体验，她以表演、影像和绘画的方式勾勒自身经验。
Ella 质疑当下艺术的观看方式，并致力于创造更多开放的对话与实践。
目前，她生活和工作在上海，身份游走于艺术家、MC、DJ，同时也是混合平台 DOBADNOW 的联合创始人。她的作品曾在多个国际机构展出和演出
