Lin Aojie
林奥劼1986年出生于广州，2010年毕业于广州美术学院油画系，现生活于广州，工作于北京和上海。
林奥劼的作品涉及录像、摄影、绘画、文本等形式。其艺术实践取材于自身经验，艺术家以带有强烈即兴性和幽默意味的图像，敏锐而细腻地记录着日常生活中的琐碎细节或刻意安排的行为事件，同时看似不带任何感情色彩的语调始终贯穿于叙事结构中，试图以旁敲侧击的方式对资本主义生产模式、艺术家生存困境以及艺术从业者与艺术家之间的关系进行质疑、嘲弄和批判。 Lin Aojie, born in Guangzhou in 1986, graduated from Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, Oil Painting Department in 2010. He lives in Guangzhou, currently working in Beijing and Shanghai.
Presented through video, photography, painting, text, etc., Lin Aojie’s artistic practice departs from his personal experiences. The artist has a keen and delicate record of the trivial details of daily life or deliberately planned events with strongly improvisatory and humorous images, while a seemingly dispassionate tone threads the whole narrative structure. By beating around the bush he tries to question, ridicule and criticize the capitalist mode of production, artist's survival predicament and the relationship between artists and other art professionals.
Liu Yujia
刘雨佳，本科毕业于四川美术学院，研究生毕业于英国伦敦艺术大学伦敦传媒学院，获艺术硕士学位。现工作、生活于北京。艺术家近期的创作利用诗化的语言来探索真实与虚构的边界。她将中国边疆地区的风景看作时空漩涡，通过糅杂纪录影像与民族志、文学、民间传说和游记等多重文本的方式来构建带有具身性和情动体验的散文影像。Liu Yujia graduated from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute and obtained her master's degree from London College of Communication, University of the Arts London. She currently lives and works in Beijing. Her recent practice reveals the fictional and illusory aspects of social reality, allowing the audience to experience reality as pure fiction. She views the landscapes of border regions in China as a vortex of time and space, and constructs prose images with embodied and emotional experiences by blending documentary images with multiple texts such as ethnographies, literature, folklore, and travelogues.
瓦西姆·艾哈迈德（Waseem Ahmed）是一名巴基斯坦艺术家，1976年出生于巴基斯坦海得拉巴。现生活与工作于巴基斯坦拉合尔。
在巴基斯坦，传统细密画一直是许多当代艺术家的实践起点，他们尊敬地将这项技术视为重要的且需要传承的文化遗产，同时以个人的方式重新诠释与演绎这一种辉煌的技法。艾哈迈德（Ahmed）通过遵循严苛的传统实践的制作基础上发展出兼具创新风格与创造性的图像学作品，将绘画、水粉、颜料和金箔或银箔结合在以特殊的瓦斯利纸基底版面之上，试图划分出从自我身份中探索到的历史、社会背景，与我们当前时代的冲突和迷失。他丰富的图像语言常常同时涉及东方和西方的神话或历史，并联通了文化遗产与当下时代的动荡。
Waseem Ahmed is a Pakistani artist born in Hyderabad, Pakistan, in 1976 and currently lives and works in Lahore, Pakistan.Ahmed hails from the generation of artists who initiated the movement of the ‘contemporary miniature’ in Lahore about fifteen years ago. In Pakistan, the traditional miniature has been a starting point for many contemporary artists who have honored the technique as cultural heritage, while reinterpreting and reinventing it in their own way. Ahmed has distinguished his work by producing creatively incisive images with innovative stylistic and iconographic contributions within a practice that is rigorously traditional, combining drawing, gouache, pigments, and gold or silver leaf on Wasli paper. At the heart of his imagery lies the human figure and the boundaries that divide humanity in relation to his own historical, social context, and in close connection with the conflict and displacement that tinge our current time. His rich vocabulary of images often refers to mythology or history, both Eastern and Western. His work bridges our cultural heritage and the turbulence of our time.
