Xinwei Che has a material-centered, temporal practice. She attends to the rhythms of material movements to expand time and resist its easy commodification.

She lives between her home-country, Singapore, and the rainy city of Vancouver, BC. She holds a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design (2015) and an MFA from Emily Carr University of Art & Design (2022). She was awarded the National Arts Council of Singapore Overseas Art Scholarship for her BFA, and the Young Talent Programme Prize in 2017. With the support of the National Arts Council of Singapore and the National Art Gallery of Kuala Lumpur, she has collaborated with communities to create libraries for shadows and for fears.

Her 2023 Esplanade (Singapore) solo exhibition - Holding Time《实 · 空》 was featured in Plural Art Mag and The Straits Times. She recently completed her artist residency at Treasure Hill Artist Village (Taipei), and is developing material performances that hold space for experiencing deep geological time and the expansiveness of embodied ritual time.
