胡昀参加Warin Lab Contemporary 于泰国举办的群展“Nature of Work”，展出作品《无名之云》。展览由Patrick Flores策划，展出了胡昀、Nana Buxani、Gabriella Hirst三位艺术家作品。展览围绕work（劳动）展开，追述了劳动时的各种严酷且微妙的情景。劳动是指任何有意义的劳作与以劳换物。劳动所产生的形式佐证亦或实际象征了一种由人为力量、自然力量和历史记忆相结合的生态。它正是在这种相关性、共谋性和啮合性中产生了痕迹并形成为自然状态，以及它是如何在生存与毁灭中发挥作用的。
此次胡昀展出的作品《无名之云》是基于对移民采矿档案的调查后，揭示了19世纪在澳大利亚开采金矿的中国劳工的名字。胡昀邀请一位中国微雕师将这些随时间推移被遗忘的名字雕刻在米粒上，而正是大米维持了当时这群华工最基本的生存条件。

Hu Yun, Names for Clouds, 2022, Microcarving on rice grains, Dimensions Variable
Hu Yun participated in the group exhibition "Nature of Work" at Warin Lab Contemporary in Thailand, and exhibited the work Names for Clouds. The exhibition was curated by Patrick Flores and exhibited the works of three artists, Hu Yun, Nana Buxani and Gabriella Hirst. The exhibition focuses on work, tracing the situations, both harsh and delicate, under which work happens. By work is meant the exertion and material of any sensible kind. The forms this work generates testify to, or in fact embody, an ecology that involves human labor, natural force, and historical memory. It is in this relationality, complicity, and meshing that the trace begins and leads to the state of nature and how it has been worked out for survival and ruin.
The work Names for Clouds is Hu Yun's investigation of the migrant minin's archives, shedding light on the names of the Chinese workers in Australia in the 19th century who dug gold in the mines; he asks a Chinese craftsperson to painstakingly engrave their names, which have mutated over time, on the grains of rice, which was the essential nourishment for these miners.

关于艺术家
ABOUT THE ARTIST
胡昀，1986 年出生于上海，2008年毕业于中国美术学院。现生活工作于上海和贝尔格莱德。
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 Shanghai and Belgrade.
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.
