Yulin Huang is an artist and writer currently based in London. Born in Rotorua, Aotearoa New Zealand, she has since lived in Taiwan, Japan, and the UK, where she has spent more than eight years studying and working across the arts.
Yulin’s practice spans painting, writing, and conceptual installations. They often take the form of sincere letters, honest confessions, automatic diagrams, pseudo-fictional dialogues, and amateur natural history displays. Her work investigates the possibility of experiencing the sublime through encounters with artificial nature, and how this uncanny feeling can contribute to the sense of belonging.
Yulin holds an MA in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins and a BA (Hons) in Fine Art: Painting from Wimbledon College of Arts. Her work has been exhibited at venues including the British Museum, and she was selected as the inaugural Young Writer in Residence at the Whitechapel Gallery.
She is currently an Assistant Editor (Interpretation) at Tate Modern, vigorously shaping accessible, precise and engaging gallery texts to support the pivotal encounter between the Visitor and the Art.
