Curatorial Ongoing
她不喜欢任何无趣的hanging on the wall的策展实践，一切有趣的、大胆的、新的实践她都愿意尝试。
媒介研究的背景让她始终将策展作为解剖技术权力的手术刀.她更关注以网络艺术、计算机艺术为代表的，来自数字界面背后的算法偏见与权力幽灵。目前她正以第十五届卡塞尔文献展为样本，剖析国际双年展体系中的固化权力体系与艺术自组织的游击式策展，同时将华南地区自发形成的城中村艺术社群作为对照组研究。
She disdains any uninspiring "hanging-on-the-wall" curatorial conventions, instead actively embracing experimental, bold, and innovative practices. Her background in media studies informs her approach to curatorship as a scalpel for dissecting technological power structures. Her research focuses particularly on algorithmic biases and spectral power dynamics behind digital interfaces, as manifested in net art and computer-based artistic expressions.
Currently, she is examining the 15th Kassel Documenta as a case study to analyze entrenched power hierarchies within the international biennial system and guerrilla-style curatorial tactics of artistic self-organization. Parallel to this, she conducts comparative research on spontaneously formed art communities in urban villages across Southern China.

01 FRAGMENTED INTIMACY 亲 密 断 章2024/11/29-2025/01/12
展 览 前 言
Exhibition
Statement
亲密关系是人与人之间深层次的情感联结。“亲密断章”展览聚焦于东亚语境下亲密关系中无法言说的隐痛与裂痕。展览通过行为影像、媒体装置，意图通过一种“不言说”的身体语言与断裂的视觉语言，将亲密关系中的裂痕在代际、性别和文化身份等方面具体化，以碎片化的迷宫来探索亲密关系背后的情感漩涡。
通过身体的表现和行动，行为影像作品以最直接的方式表达了亲密关系中的情感复杂性。王宇秋的《Mom，I don’t want to dream of you anymore（妈妈，我不愿意再梦见你） 》通过织物与舞蹈表达了母女关系中的纠缠与和解，家庭纽带的隐喻在织物与身体表演中复杂重合；钟怡珊的《T**ch me, Tea** me》则通过“教写字”这一行为的身体控制，揭示了亲密关系中的权力动态与心理纠葛。身体的纠缠是否是沟通的失声？肌肤的触碰是否是逐渐疏远的信号？亲密有时只会在一次次的拉扯中徒增伤痛。
同时展览作品被地嵌入到迷宫之中，意图让观者在其中游走，体验迷失与寻找的过程。杨子晴的《The route of finding mom（寻母之路）》引导观者进入一个迷宫般的空间，在网络3000km的距离与实体空间中追寻着与母亲的亲密联系；王曦娅的《Dear, we need to talk（亲爱的，我们需要谈谈）》则从孩子的角度单独采访离异的父母，在看似相同联结却又被空间分裂的角度下，父母彼此隔空的对话在不断的误解与沉默中瓦解。黄舒婧的《A》试图将自己与家具在视觉上同化，使其身体与“家”的环境融为一体，以无声诉说着家庭关系中个体的消融与自我认同的模糊。
我们可以发现,语言似乎在这种结构中逐渐失声，曾经试图通过言语传递的爱与理解，变得苍白而无力。曾经作为情感庇护所的“家”，表面的平静也无法掩盖其中的伤痕与裂缝，归属感和安全感因此变得愈加脆弱。然而，“亲密断章”不只仅关注亲密关系的裂痕与破碎，更强调个体在这些关系中的寻找与重构，通过这场迷宫式的旅程，观者不仅仅是旁观者，更在空间中不断切换视角，被引导成为“他者”——在探索他人关系中的裂痕时，也在反思自身的情感与身份，并在破碎中重新构建对亲密与归属的理解。
Intimacy represents a profound emotional connection between individuals, and the "Fragmented Intimacy “exhibition focuses on the unspoken pain and fractures within intimate relationships in an East Asian context.
Through performance videos and media installations, the exhibition seeks to materialize these fractures in generational, gender, and cultural identities using a "language of silence" and fragmented visual narratives, inviting viewers to explore the emotional whirlpools behind these intimate bonds within a labyrinthine space.
Performance films, through bodily expression and action, convey the emotional complexities within intimate relationships in the most direct manner. In Wang Yuqiu's Mom, I Don’t Want to Dream of You Anymore, the intertwining of fabric and dance symbolizes the entanglement and reconciliation in mother-daughter relationships, where the metaphor of family ties is intricately woven with the fabric and body performance. Zhong Yishan's T**ch me, Tea** me explores the dynamics of power and psychological tension within intimate relationships through the physical control involved in teaching someone to write. Is the entanglement of bodies a sign of communication’s silence? Is the touch of skin a signal of growing distance? Intimacy, at times, only adds to the pain through repeated pulls and strains.
Meanwhile, the exhibits are embedded within a labyrinth, inviting viewers to wander and experience the process of losing and seeking. Ziqing Yang's The Route of Finding Mom leads viewers into a maze-like space, where the search for a mother’s intimate connection is traced across a 3000km distance of digital and physical space. Wang Xiya's Dear, We Need to Talk presents an isolated interview with divorced parents from a child’s perspective, where the seemingly connected yet spatially divided dialogues between parents disintegrate into misunderstanding and silence. Huang Shujing's A visually merges the performer’s body with household furniture, blending her form into the environment of “home,” silently conveying the dissolution of the individual and the blurring of self-identity within familial relationships.
We observe that language seems to gradually lose its voice within this structure; the love and understanding once conveyed through words become pale and powerless. The “home,” once a haven of emotional refuge, can no longer conceal the scars and fractures within, leaving the sense of belonging and security increasingly fragile.
However, Fragmented Intimacy is not solely concerned with the fractures and breaks in intimate relationships but emphasizes the individual's search and reconstruction within these bonds. Through this labyrinthine journey, viewers are not mere bystanders; they are continually shifting perspectives within the space, guided into becoming 'the other'—as they explore the fractures in others' relationships, they are also reflecting on their own emotions and identities, and in the process of fragmentation, they reconstruct their understanding of intimacy and belonging.
