Qinle Jin (he/him) is a curator and an art market researcher, working across museums and galleries in the UK and China. After graduating from the Royal College of Art CCA, his curatorial practice focuses on Creolisation, Technology and Diaspora, and exploring the potential for cultural hybridisation through interdisciplinary practices in a collective way.
Qinle’s curatorial interest lies in the diverse experiences and potential relationships generated within the infinitive process of creolisation (Édouard Glissant, Poetics of Relation), where involuntary memories trigger connecting images. Observing “technological” has taken the place of “modernisation” as a new characteristic of creolisation, he forms and redefines a compound term “Techno-creolisation” as a curatorial method applied in his practice.
The prefix not only includes the technological aspects of the time but also encompasses technical strategies where Glissant’s ideas intersect with Isabelle Stenger’s “Ecology of practices”. Mixing with the curatorial, it explores the archipelagic dialogues of exchange and hierarchical orders of all practitioners within the variable relationships.
