Salty Xi Jie Ng (SG) co-creates semi-fictional paradigms for the real and imagined lives of humans within the poetics of the intimatevernacular. Her interdisciplinary work proposes a collective reimagining through humour, care, subversion, discomfort, a celebration ofthe eccentric, and a commitment to the deeply personal. Her projects explore themes of aging, intimacy, food, lineage, identity, ritual and power, while questioning who artists are and what gets to be called art.

In connection to the EAT THE RICH seminar in Malmö Salty Xi Jie Ng conducted a workshop as her curator persona Sheralynne Dollatella-Wong Jia for a Nordic-based group of museum directors, curators, and artists asking questions relating to art institutions’ acquisitioning strategy and views on collecting diverse media forms.
