Talk by Yu Ji : A Petrified Performance that is Sculpture
(For English please scroll down)
(Speech in Chinese only 演講以中文進行)
雕塑解剖學的身體以及與其相悖的自然身體：這兩種身體如何在創作中同時成立？本座談透過藝術家的兩個展覽聊出這個問題，而美學問題深藏其後。
案例1．《雲深處》——與顏峻的合作：
雕塑、水泥、聲音、觀眾以及兩位藝術家的身體行為。所有的元素在上午藝術空間那個密閉的地下室碰頭，形成一個具有濃厚現場感的演出。
案例2．《落地》——與趙川的合作：
連同實驗劇場導演，趙川，以及九位來自各個領域的參與者——新加坡拉薩爾藝術學院的白色方盒成為六天工作坊發生之處。巨石般的雕塑、現場創作的裝置、表演、聲音在空間裡演出；舞台就是展覽現場。

Talk by Yu Ji:
A Petrified Performance that is Sculpture
How to negotiate the bodily presence between the premise of sculptural anatomy and that of natural performed one? The casual evening talk launched the aesthetic dilemma via two previous events Yu Ji had co-produced.
Case I: Deep In The Cloud (collaborated with Yan Jun, a Chinese sound artist and music critic among other identities)
Sculptures, cement, sound as well as bodily activities and reactions from two artists and various audiences: All of which encountered in that almost confined basement of AM Art Space, resulted with a deep-in-the-cloud performance.
Case II: Settling (collaborated with Zhao Chuan, founder of underground theater troupe Grass Stage, China)
Along with director Zhao Chuan and 9 participants from various backgrounds, the white cube of Earl Lu Gallery in Lasalle College of the Arts is transformed into a workshop venue lasted for 6 days. Consequently, boulder-liked sculptures, on-site produced installations and sound and performances were vibrating on stage.
Speaker：Yu Ji, artist
born in Shanghai; lives and works in Shanghai, where she received her MFA in Fine Art College of Shanghai University, Sculpture Department, 2011
With strong interest in Nature as well as the human laboring activities in repetition, the relationship between time and nature interests Yu to further investigates bodily and spiritual worlds that echoes with Mother Earth. Art making, for her, is in itself a comprehending process between art and self. Thus artist is not only an occupation but also a vivid bodily experience that absorbs things and everyday life in translation.
Since 2008, she co-founded AM Art Space with independent guideline, which made its reputation amongst the non-profit alternative art spaces in Shanghai.
