刘雨佳
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. Liu Yujia's recent practice engages with moving images. Her video works and films explore the dialectical tension between documentary reality and fiction, examining the complex and mysterious dimensions of subjective experience in different social and political contexts. The artist shoots the "real life" scenes in a documentary way, meanwhile, the private and intimate dimension of real life could be revealed by her fictional or "fake" figures. Her recent practice reveals the fictional and illusory aspects of social reality, allowing the audience to experience reality as pure fiction.
Recent solo exhibitions include Tang Contemporary Art Center, Beijing; Shanghai Gallery of Art, Shanghai. Group exhibitions include the 11th Shanghai Biennial, PSA, Shanghai; University Art Gallery-University of Pittsburgh; 2019 Guangzhou Airport Biennale, Guangzhou; HOW Art Museum, Shanghai; UCCA DUNE Art Museum, Beidaihe; Julia Stoschek Collection, Dusseldorf; White Rabbit Museum, Sydney, Australia; CFCCA, Manchester, UK; Kadist Foundation, USA; OCAT Shanghai; OCAT Shenzhen, OCAT Beijing; Lianzhou Photo Museum, Lianzhou; Minsheng Art Museum. Her video works and films have been screened in Centre Pompidou, Paris and other museums and institutes around the world. She has been nominated for the 2018-2019 Porsche "Young Chinese Artist of the Year" Award.
刘雨佳，本科毕业于四川美术学院，研究生毕业于伦敦艺术大学传媒学院，获艺术硕士学位。现工作、生活于北京。刘雨佳的近期创作主要通过影像来探索记录性现实与虚构的张力。艺术家通常使用纪录片的手法来拍摄“真实生活”的场面，但同时又使用虚构或“虚假”形象来描绘“真实生活”的隐私时刻。她近期的作品使我们洞察到社会现实本身的虚构与幻象层面—即将现实本身体验为一种虚构。
