关于艺术家

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

  aaajiao

1984年出生于西安。现生活工作于上海和柏林。

aaajiao，是年轻艺术家徐文恺的化名，也是他虚构的网络分身。1984年（他的出生年份恰好是乔治·奥威尔经典预言式小说的名称），出生于中国最古老城市之一的西安，aaajiao的创作结合了浓重的反乌托邦意识、对文人精神的反思。他的很多作品都致力于探索新的科技和媒体影响之下的文化现象和政治策略，从社交媒体写作、数据处理，到网络和移动媒介下的新美学景观。作为今天全球新一代媒体艺术的代表人物，aaajiao将今天中国特殊的社交媒体文化、科技运用带入了国际艺术的话语和讨论。

aaajiao的作品频繁展出于全球的美术馆和艺术机构，例如：“深渊模拟器”，里沃利城堡当代艺术博物馆，都灵，意大利，2020；“1989年到今天：网络时代的艺术”，波士顿当代艺术中心，波士顿，美国，2018；“非真实”，电子艺术之家，巴塞尔，瑞士，2017；“身体·媒体II”，上海当代艺术博物馆，上海，中国，2017；“带走我（我是你的）”，犹太人美术馆，纽约，美国，2016；“时间转向：当代亚洲的艺术与思辨”，斯班塞美术馆，堪萨斯，美国，2016；“波普之上”，余德耀美术馆，上海，中国，2016；“黑客空间”（由Hans Ulrich Obrist与Amira Gad策展），K11艺术基金会临时空间，香港，中国、chi K11美术馆，上海，中国，2016；“全方位：全控制和言论控制”，ZKM卡尔斯鲁厄艺术与媒体中心，卡尔斯鲁厄，德国，2015；“齐物等观——2014国际新媒体艺术三年展”，中国国家美术馆，北京，中国，2014。

aaajiao was born in 1984 in Xi’an. Currently lives and works in Shanghai and Berlin.

Active online as a media artist, blogger, activist and programmer, aaajiao is the virtual persona of Shanghai- and Berlin- artist Xu Wenkai. Born in 1984—the title of George Orwell’s classic allegorical novel—and in one of China’s oldest cities, Xi’an, aaajiao’s art and works are marked by a strong dystopian awareness, literati spirits and sophistication. Many of aaajiao’s works speak to new thinkings, controversies and phenomenon around the Internet, with specific projects focusing on the processing of data, the blogsphere and China’s Great Fire Wall. aaajiao’s recent projects extend his practice to various disciplines (among them, architecture, topography, and design) to capture the pulse of the young generation consuming cyber technology and living in social media.

aaajiao’s work has been featured in numerous exhibitions around the world, upcoming and recent shows include “Deep Simulator”, Castello di Rivoli Museo d'Arte Contemporanea, Turin, Italy, 2021; “Art in the Age of the Internet, 1989 to Today”, The Institute of Contemporary Art Boston, Boston, USA, 2018; “unREAL”, Haus der elektronischen Künste, Basel, Switzerland, 2017; “Shanghai Project Part II”, Shanghai, China, 2017; “Temporal Turn: Art and Speculation in Contemporary Asia”, Spencer Museum of Art, Kansas, USA, 2016; “Take Me (I’m Yours)” (curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Jens Hoffmann and Kelly Taxter), Jewish Museum, New York, USA, 2016; “Overpop”, Yuz Museum, Shanghai, China, 2016; “Hack Space” (curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist and Amira Gad), K11 Art Foundation Pop-up Space, Hong Kong and chi K11 art museum, Shanghai, China, 2016; “Globale: Global Control and Censorship”, ZKM | Centre for Art and Media, Karlsruhe, Germany, 2015; and “Thingworld International Triennial of New Media Art”, The National Art Museum of China, Beijing, China, 2014.

His recent solo exhibition includes “Deep Simulator”, Tabula Rasa Gallery, London, UK, 2021; “Deep Simulator”, Castello di Rivoli Museo d'Arte Contemporanea, Turin, Italy, 2020; “Cave Simulator”, AIKE, Shanghai, China, 2020; “a’a’a’jiao: an ID”, HOW Art Museum, Shanghai, China, 2019; “bot,” House of Egorn, Berlin, German, 2018; “Gluttony”, A Thousand Plateaus Art Space, Chengdu, China, 2018; “User, Love, High-frequency Trading”, Leo Xu Projects, Shanghai, China, 2017; “Remnants of an Electronic Past”, CFCCA, Manchester, UK, 2016; “Remnants of an Electronic Past”, OCAT, Xi’an, China, 2016. aaajiao was awarded the Art Sanya Awards in 2014 Jury Prize and was nominated for the first edition of OCAT-Pierre Huber Art Prize in 2014.

  胡昀 Hu Yun

1986年出生于上海，2008年毕业于中国美术学院。现生活工作于墨尔本和上海。

胡昀的作品包括绘画、水彩、行为、录像和装置。通过调动来自不同人和历史的经验，胡昀将各种以往生产过的材料重新纳入自己的日常工作中，因此，无法孤立地去看待他的每一件作品，每一个项目都享有共同的话题，都是有所预设、彼此关联的。

胡昀参加了第十届亚太当代艺术三年展（2021），第六届新加坡双年展（2019），第十一届光州双年展（2016），第四届广州三年展（2012）以及第七届深圳雕塑双年展（2012）；他的作品也曾在上海当代艺术博物馆，巴黎蓬皮杜艺术中心，广东时代美术馆及余德耀美术馆等机构展出。他的个展包括“微缩景观”，新加坡国立大学博物馆，新加坡，2019；“我们从未离开过”，西安OCAT，西安，中国，2017；“叙事病”，AIKE，上海，中国，2016；“轻拿轻放”，AIKE，上海，中国，2013；“我们的祖先”，歌德开放空间，上海，中国，2012；“自然的图像”，英国自然历史博物馆，伦敦，英国，2010。

Hu Yun was born in 1986 in Shanghai. He graduated from China Academy of Art in 2008 and currently lives and works in Melbourne and Shanghai.

Hu Yun’s works range from graphite and watercolors to performance, video, and installation. Interested in how an individual positions him or herself within the course of history, he constructs the links that probe the inseparable coexistence of past and present, individual and public. He is adept at mobilizing various personal and historical experiences, incorporating previously produced materials into his artworks; as a consequence, it is impossible to consider any of Hu’s works in isolation since they all share a common theme, an element of foreshadowing, and they are all conceptually interconnected.

Hu Yun has participated in the 6th Singapore Biennale (2019), the 11th Gwangju Biennale (2016), the 4th Guangzhou Triennial (2012) and the 7th Shenzhen Sculpture Biennale (2012). His works have also been exhibited at Power Station of Art, Shanghai; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Times Museum, Guangdong and Yuz Museum, Shanghai. His selected solo exhibitions include “Another Diorama”, NUS Museum, Singapore, 2019; “We’ve been here before”, OCAT, Xi’an, China, 2017; “Narration sickness”, AIKE, Shanghai, China, 2016; “Lift with Care”, AIKE, Shanghai, China, 2013; “Our Ancestors”, Goethe Institut, Shanghai, China, 2012; “Image of Nature”, Natural History Museum, London, UK, 2010.

  刘呗宁 Liu Beining

生于1991年，刘呗宁先后毕业于中国美院油画系与纽约Pratt Institute纯艺术系研究生院，现于中国美院当代艺术与社会思想研究所攻读博士学位。除了持续的艺术创作，刘呗宁也自2010年起开始策展，并于2019年起在清影艺术空间展开一系列的展览策划工作。

此次展览延续了他2015年开始的关于夜间水面的创作方向，作为刘呗宁自2016年纽约个展“A Collection of Nothingness”之后，回到杭州的首次个展，全面展示他近年来关于物质和时间感的长久思考。他在作品中尝试剥除事物上暂时附着的时间属性，从而达到一种包含流动感的静穆之境。以绘画和写作为基础手法，刘呗宁借用⽔、⽯头、尘埃、星球、⻣骼、⼭水、手机屏幕、飞鸟与船只等等形象，他通过对现成影像和物品的编辑来组织空间装置，描摹寂静而丰硕图景。

Liu Beining was born in 1991. He is graduated from the China Academy of Art (CAA), Hangzhou and Pratt Institute’s Graduate School of Fine Art, New York, and is at present studying at Doctoral Level on the course of the CAA’s Institute of Contemporary Art and Social Thought. In addition to his ongoing artistic creation, Liu started curatorial practices since 2010 and has been working on a series of exhibitions at Inna Art Space since 2019.

Liu’s working process foregrounds materiality; “materials” in transition, each an “entity” within a process of subtle change, aiming to preserve the dual potentiality inherent in each one's attendant state. Forms including water, stone, dust, astral bodies, bones, landscapes, ruins, fragments and other images often appear in the artist’s work, combining to compose cohesive structures of mutual correspondence, taking this as a base from which to describe still and solemn, yet nevertheless richly abundant tableaux.

  施政 Shi Zheng

1990年出生于江苏，2014年毕业于中国美术学院跨媒体艺术学院，2019年获得芝加哥艺术学院硕士学位。现生活工作于上海和纽约。作为媒体艺术家，施政的创作形式涉及视听装置、电子音乐以及现场演出，开展一系列以模拟和“机器视觉”为出发点的艺术实践，通过扩充观众视听通感体验，体现其对技术哲学、数字漫游和“潜在时间”的持续思考。

施政在集中创作个人作品的同时，也和其领域内的优秀艺术家进行合作。2013年他与能火、王志鹏、翁巍共同成立媒体艺术小组RMBit（人民比特），结合当下的社交媒体现象进行创作。他和能火也是视听演出团体OSC（Open Super Control）的成员。

其个人与合作作品也曾多次出现在国内外重要的美术馆、艺术机构、媒体艺术节中，包括油罐艺术中心、银川当代美术馆、Sound Art China（中国声音艺术大展）、FILE Electronic Language International Festival、Ars Electronica（奥地利电子艺术节）、伦敦当代艺术中心、都灵Castello di Rivara美术馆、伦敦The Lumen Prize、上海二十一世纪民生美术馆、 OCT当代艺术中心深圳馆。

Shi Zheng was born in 1990 in Jiangsu, China and now lives and works in Shanghai and New York. He graduated from China Academy of Art in 2014 and acquired MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2019. As a media artist, Shi's artistic creations range from audio-visual installations, digital music and live performance, demonstrating the artist's ongoing interest in simulation and "machine vision". Shi further embodies his reflection on the philosophy of technology, digital voyage and "latent time" by extending the audience's visual and audio experience.

Apart from individual creation, Shi Zheng also collaborates with other outstanding artists in various fields. In 2013, artistic ground RMBit was founded by Shi Zheng in conjunction with Nenghuo, Wang Zhipeng and Weng Wei with the focus on current context of social media. Both Shi and Nenghuo are the members of an Audio-Visual performance group OSC (Open Super Control).

Shi Zheng’s individual and cooperated works have been presented in a wide range of museums, art institutions and media art festivals home and abroad, including TANK Shanghai, MOCA Yinchuan, Sound Art China, FILE Electronic Language International Festival, Ars Electronica, Institute of Contemporary Arts London, Castello di Rivara, The Lumen Prize, Shanghai 21st Century Minsheng Art Museum and OCT Contemporary Art Terminal Shenzhen.

  徐立霜 Lishuang Xu

湖南⻓沙人，毕业于伦敦艺术大学切尔⻄学院纯艺术专业，现居上海。

徐立霜的创作围绕日常行为和当代人造的建筑环境。不断向大城市迁居的背景，间接地促成了她对现代生活中异样性的⻓期关注。摄像机作为建构徐立霜作品的主要工具， 步行作为去体验一个城市的节奏和空间的方式是她艺术实践的开端。艺术家通过身体对所处时空之介入，以影像、声音与个人行为的形式，探索个体感知与客观现实之间相互舞动的关系。

Born in Changsha, graduated from the University of the Arts London, based in Shanghai.

Xu's practice to date is centralised around mundane behaviour and the artificial contemporary environment. She is intrigued by the uncanny of modern life due to her experience of moving and living to the bigger Metropolis. Walking as a way to experience the rhythm and space of the city, and camera as a tool to construct my practice. Xu wants to explore the relationship between individual perception and objective reality in the form of video, sound and performance through the body’s intervention in time and space.

  郑安东 Andong Zheng

1992年出生于安徽合肥。2016年毕业于同济大学车辆工程专业。2017年赴美，就读于罗德岛摄影学院摄影系MFA项目，并于2019年毕业。现工作生活于上海。

郑安东使用摄影为主要媒介，关注个人身份，快速变化的社会景观，以及全球化背景下的文化融合等议题。
