Promo of CPA Talk | Witness to Growth: Yu Hong’s artistic practices from the 1990s to today
CPA系列讲座 | 《目击成长》：喻红 1990 年代以来的艺术实践宣传片
Marking the fourth talk in a series related to “Second Assembly: Exhibition-Making Practice in China and Southeast Asia in the 1990s”, a curatorial project jointly curated by Biljana Ciric and the museum, RAM is delighted to invite artist Yu Hong and Vienna-based curator Julia Hartmann, who is also one of the granted researchers of the open call for the “Curatorial Practices in Asia” project.
The talk will highlight Yu Hong’s prolific career, focusing on the beginning as an artist working in the 90s, and looking at her experiences in relationship to the nascent contemporary art scene that was emerging in China in this period. The conversation will also draw attention to a variety of paintings by Yu Hong that depict the lives of women and their experiences in Chinese society. Using this as a departure point, the discussion will connect with the artist’s experiences participating in all-female group exhibition in comparison to male dominated exhibition during this period. The conversation will question the motives behind the organization of all-female exhibitions, looking to explore their impact on the conventions of exhibition-making, as well as their influences in today’s context. Julia Hartmann’s final presentation will be at the assembly on 24th to 25th November 2018.
此次讲座是上海外滩美术馆与比利安娜·思瑞克联合策划的“第二次集会：1990 年代中国及东南亚地区的策展实践”系列活动的第四次讲座，特别邀请了艺术家喻红和维也纳独立策展人尤莉亚·哈特曼担任讲者，尤莉亚同时也是“亚洲策展实践”研究项目公开招募的优秀研究员之一，获得项目的研究经费支持。
本次讲座将围绕喻红多产的艺术生涯，聚焦 1990 年代——其事业起步阶段，以当时中国当代艺术的萌芽为背景，探究她的种种经历。两位讲者将探讨喻红展现中国女性生活状态和社会经历的丰富油画作品，并以此为起点，通过对比当时男性主导的展览，剖析喻红参与全女性群展的经历。对话将分析全女性群展产生的原因，探讨这些群展对策展规则及当今造成的影响。尤莉亚·哈特曼将在 2018 年 11 月 24-25 日举办的研讨会上作研究报告。
