Xi Jie Ng (Salty) is an artist from the tropical metropolis of Singapore.
Her work explores possibilities in the poetic, eccentric and infinite everyday. She makes collaborative encounters that are intimate, semi-fictional paradigms for the real and imagined lives of humans.
This context-specific practice is concerned with presenting diverse perspectives, challenging dominant power structures in offbeat, humorous ways and facilitating the unexpected, often serendipitous results of working in a socially engaged manner. She sees this as a kind of activism that implicitly proposes a world in which she would like to live.
She has an MFA in art & social practice from Portland State University. Her work has been supported by the Singapore National Arts Council postgraduate scholarship, the Singapore Film Commission, the Arlene Schnitzer Visual Arts Prize and the Regional Arts and Culture Council (Oregon). Salty is currently the Artist in Residence at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's Center for Visual & Performing Arts.
