Dialogues with the participating artists of HUGO BOSS ASIA ART, hosted by the RAM team.

Artist: Hu Xiangqian

Dialogue with Ella Liao

Hu Xiangqian

1983 born in Leizhou

Currently works and lives in Beijing

Hu Xiangqian’s works are not elaborately thought out, nor do they deal with astonishing content — there are only his sudden inspirations. For the most part, his medium of choice is performance art — the better to achieve a more direct bodily and perceptive experience; some of what he does perhaps targets not the audience but rather the performer himself. As he himself says, “I want to understand my mind through art.”


《HUGO BOSS亚洲艺术大奖》参展艺术家与美术馆团队的对话

对话:廖薇

胡向前

1983年出生于雷州

现工作生活于北京

胡向前的创作没有精密的构思,也没有骇人听闻的内容 ── 只有他突然产生的念头。他的艺术多以行为作媒介,为了获得更直接的身体和感知的经验;这些作为最重要的对象可能不是观众而不是行为者本身,如他所言:“我想通过艺术了解自己的思维。”
