About
Heart Lab was founded by Mu Qing in 2023 with the belief that “Art Beats In Every Heart” –With our expertise in neuroaesthetics, we strive to use the power of neuroscience and aesthetic science to create new narratives in the story of art.
Our primary approach is to integrate neuro-aesthetic research findings into our curatorial storytelling. By doing so, we aspire to unlock fresh perspectives for the public to experience art and redefine what art exhibitions could be.
About the Founder
Mu Qing is an independent curator whose practice sits at the intersection of Neuroaesthetics, Neuroscience, and Art. Her research focuses on how the brain responds to our engagement with artistic activities and how this engagement positively impacts personal well-being.
She brings Neuroaesthetic discoveries from the laboratory into her curatorial narrative. By doing so, she aims to give the audience a new perspective to interact with art and empower her audience with the therapeutic attribute of art.
Her previous working experiences include West Bund Museum (in Collaboration with Centre Pompidou) in Shanghai, China and Christie’s in New York, US.
She received her Art History Education from New York University (2015) and Sotheby’s Institute (2019), and MS in Psychology of the Arts, Neurasthenics and Creativity from Goldsmith, University of London (2022).
穆青是一位独立策展人，她的策展实践包含了其对于神经美学和艺术史的研究。她热衷于利用科学的力量揭示个体在进行审美活动及艺术创作时，大脑和神经系统发生了怎样的变化，以及这种变化能够如何正向影响个人的福祉。
她将神经美学在实验室中发现的成果带入策展的叙事中，与现当代艺术作品结合，给观众提供一个全新的角度来体验艺术、感受艺术。
她曾就职于佳士得拍卖行（纽约）、上海西岸美术馆（与巴黎蓬皮杜中心的五年合作项目）。
她在纽约大学（2015 年）和苏富比学院（2019 年）接受了艺术史学教育，并在伦敦大学金史密斯学院获得神经美学研究学位（2022 年）。
