Hu Qingtai, born in 1985, Heilongjiang Province. He received his BA degree from the New Media Department at China Hubei Academy of Fine Arts in 2008. Hu's artwork primarily explores human relationships with objects, as well as relationships between human beings, focusing on the individual's will and mental activity. He interrogates established notions of art and artist identity through appropriating common social transactions.
