Kevin Ling, born and residing in Hong Kong, is a cross-media artist and art educator who travels between different cities. His work focuses on capturing the “gap” between the everyday and the art world. Ling excels at starting with extremely small actions—such as blowing air, playing dice, or washing the floor—and, through practice in different countries and cultural contexts, he reinterprets these actions with deeper meaning, challenging the boundaries of viewers’ everyday imagination and initiating a dialogue about the possibilities of life.
As a passionate practitioner of art education, Ling is committed to lowering the barriers to creation. He advocates that art should return to individual sensory experience, allowing everyone to rediscover their own observational and creative potential through play and daily activities. He believes that when art permeates the fabric of life, creation can transform into an inner freedom and power, inspiring a new generation’s understanding of the world from subtle perspectives. His works have been exhibited in Germany, Finland, Australia, Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan, and Thailand, and are continuously featured in the Hong Kong Ming Pao Sunday Lifestyle publication. He is also the curator of the community art project “Pop up Playground” and a member of the Hass Lab creative team, continuously exploring the depth of art’s connection with people in different regions.

凌中雲（Kevin Ling）出生及定居於香港，現為一名流動於不同城市間的跨媒介藝術家與藝術教育者。他的創作核心聚焦於捕捉日常與藝術場域之間的「間隙（Gap）」。凌氏擅長從極其微小的行為切入——如吹氣、擲公字或洗地——透過在不同國家與文化背景下的實踐，重新賦予這些動作深層的意義，藉此挑戰觀者對日常想像的邊界，並開啟關於生活可能性的對話。
作為一名對藝術教育充滿熱誠的實踐者，凌中雲致力於降低創作的門檻。他主張藝術應回歸於個體的感官經驗，透過遊戲與日常活動，讓每個人重新發現自身具備的觀察力與創造動能。他相信當藝術滲透進生活的肌理，創作便能轉化為一種內在的自由與力量，從細微之處啟發新世代對世界的認知。其作品曾展出於德國、芬蘭、澳洲、日本、印尼、台灣及泰國等地，並持續刊登於香港明報星期日生活。他亦是社區藝術項目《真·臨時遊樂場》的策劃人、Hass Lab 創作團隊成員，持續探索藝術在不同地域中與人連結的深度。
