艺术家简介 About the artist
于吉(1985年生于上海)以多样且具实验性的实践闻名,使用包括装置、表演和视频等媒介,其中雕塑是她工作的核心。于吉的近期作品大都基于对特定地域的研究,以及对特定地点进行地理和历史叙述的能力。她专注于以时间、空间和移动来创造的想法,通常使用最少的材料,将非物质和无形的事物注入物质存在。于吉经常进行田野调查,作为其一部分,她在世界各地不同的地点介入临时性干预,对身体在日常环境中的位置进行反思与质问,将其引入观者的整个空间意识中。
于吉在2011年毕业于上海大学美术学院雕塑系,获硕士学位。她于2008年在上海共同发起了上午艺术空间,为不同艺术领域的实践者提供排演的场所。于吉在世界各地广泛参加展览,包括:第58届威尼斯双年展(2019);滕斯塔当代艺术中心,瑞典(2018);外滩美术馆,上海(2017);第11届上海双年展(2016);东京宫,巴黎(2014)等。在2017年,于吉入围当年Hugo Boss亚洲新锐艺术家大奖。于吉将于2021年2月在伦敦Chisenhale艺术中心举办大型个展并进行委托创作。

Yu Ji (b.1985) lives and works in Shanghai and Vienna. Yu Ji’s current practice is motivated by the ongoing investigation into the specific location with geography and historical narratives. Her works have been associated closely with field researches, and shows a strong interest in the intervention of specific space with the body. Taking materiality of the media she employs as the starting point and sculpture as her essential media, Yu Ji has been developing and enriching her own vocabulary of art. Her performances that happen together with exhibitions of her sculptures, reflecting and moderating the fragile presence of human and objects in its everyday environment, often turn the space of art into the site of labor work.
Yu Ji obtained her MA from the Department of Sculpture, College of Art of Shanghai University, in 2011. In 2008, she co-founded AM Art Space – an artist-led space in Shanghai, promoting experimentation and exchanges between artists, curators and the public. Yu Ji has exhibited globally, including the 58th Venice Biennale (2019), Tensta Konsthall, Sweden (2018), Rockbund Art Museum, Shanghai (2017), 11th Shanghai Biennale (2016), Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2014), amongst others. In 2017 Yu Ji was nominated for the Hugo Boss Asia Art Award. Upcoming exhibitions include a major solo exhibition and commission at Chisenhale Gallery, London (2021).
