1962年生于广东,毕业于广州美术学院版画系。他是中国当代艺术史上最重要的艺术团体“大尾象”的成员之一,2007年与小泽刚、金泓锡组成艺术团体“西京人”。

作为中国过去数十年中最为杰出和多才的艺术家之一,早在上世纪80年代中期,陈劭雄就已参与广州地下艺术及实验艺术。自上世纪90年代始,陈劭雄创作了一系列作品,形态包括影像、装置、摄影蒙太奇、绘画、表演以及公众参与等,而主题也越来越关注中国社会在全球化进程中所遭遇的各种问题。与此同时,他对于历史表现形式的再创作也进入了其创作领域。同样令人折服的是其思想与行为领域已经变得非常开放,他邀请公众参与其作品的创作过程,用以激发和分享对于城市和社会变革的共同记忆与理想,以此来研究中国日新月异的城市风景。
