    Miao Tan (b.1998), Born in China, based in London.

    Ziqi(Tree) Xu (b.2000) is a visual artist currently living and working between China and the United Kingdom. His recent practices focus on the complexities of human identity, violence, and the boundaries between different narrative spaces. Through photography, installations, performance and philosophical reflection, he aims to critique the new form of violence brought by quotidian apparatus in the up-to-date world. In his research and practices, he uses the field of art to expand ‘inhuman horizon’ that allows people to unveil the Ideological contamination embedded in contemporary technology. He holds a MA in Contemporary Photography; Practices and Philosophies at Central Saint Martins and a BFA in Photography at Communication University of Zhejiang.

    谭苗 (b.1998) 出生于中国,现工作生活于伦敦。

    她关注材料在过程中的变化,并依赖直觉与身体经验进行创作。

    她使用大漆、马毛、布料等材料工作。对她而言,材料有自己的语言,会在过程中持续改变作品本身。在她的作品中,大漆与布料、线互相渗透、包裹与堆积,并持续改变结构,与重力、空气、时间共同协作。传统语境中的大漆,往往服务于一种被控制后的秩序与光滑;但她的实践更关注它无法被完全掌控的部分。大漆会与空气持续发生反应,也会在某些时刻偏离预设,使作品保留不确定与流动性。因此,她并不将创作理解为对材料的控制,而更接近一种不断协商的过程。缠绕、堆积、包裹与残留,都是身体、材料与时间相互作用后留下的痕迹。她希望动摇作品必须“完成”的假设,拒绝将其收束为一个稳定、封闭、可被完全定义的对象。相比精细化与稳定性,她更关注那些仍在变化、尚未固化的状态,以及材料如何持续偏离人的控制。

    Jiaqi Lyu(b.2001) Born in Harbin, based in Harbin.

    Jiaqi Lyu’s practice is grounded in the haunting interplay between an unrealized past and a perpetually unattainable promised future. Her paintings draw inspiration from archival images and footage uploaded to the decentralized digital realm by anonymous users, exploring the intersections of heritage, memory, and history. Through her art, Lyu constructs a visual ethnography that weaves cultural inquiry with personal narrative, critically examining how histories are constructed and how individuals navigate the spectral echoes of their cultural landscape. Approaching these themes from a semi-autobiographical perspective, Lyu looks into the complexities of belonging experienced by individuals situated within the matrix of history and contemporary realities. Her ongoing research focuses on the absences and omissions that characterize the historical narrative of Northeast China. By delving into the fragmented and overlooked layers of the region's history, Lyu revisits Northeast China’s landscape as both a cultural and historical borderland, offering an alternative representation of people and places through a postcolonial lens. Lyu is currently pursuing her MFA degree at Goldsmiths University, and holds a BA(Hons) in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art, University of the Arts London.

    吕嘉祺(b.2001) 出生于哈尔滨,现生活工作于哈尔滨。

    她的艺术实践植根于一种萦绕心头的相互作用——既无法实现的过去与永远遥不可及的承诺未来之间的交织。她的绘画灵感来源于匿名用户上传到去中心化数字领域的档案图片和影像片段,探讨遗产、记忆与历史的交汇点。通过艺术,吕佳琪构建了一种视觉民族志,将文化探究与个人叙事编织在一起,批判性地审视历史是如何被建构的,以及个体如何在其文化景观中的幽灵般回响中找到自己的方向。她以半自传式的视角切入这些主题,探究身处历史与当代现实矩阵中的个体所经历的归属之复杂性。她正在进行的研究聚焦于中国东北地区历史叙事中的缺失与遗漏。通过深入挖掘该地区历史中碎片化且被忽视的层面,吕佳琪重新审视东北地区作为一个文化与历史边界的景观,以后殖民视角为人们和地域提供一种另类的再现。吕佳琪目前正在伦敦大学金史密斯学院攻读美术硕士学位,并拥有伦敦艺术大学切尔西艺术学院美术学士(荣誉)学位

    Yuda Qian (b. 2005), Born in Chengdu, based in Hangzhou

    His artistic mediums and styles are primarily performance, video, and photography. At the core of his practice is the use of lived experience as a foundation, exploring questions of identity, memory, social ethics, and existence through ritualized means in public, social, and natural environments. He always feels a sense of indebtedness towards his works.

    黄钱昱达,字“抑达”(b,2005) 生于四川成都,现就读于中国美术学院跨媒体艺术系。

    艺术媒介与风格以行为、影像、摄影为主要媒介,核心是以生活经验作为实践基础,在公共、社会、自然环境中,通过仪式化的方式,探索有关身份、记忆、社会伦理、存在性等问题。始终对作品心怀亏欠。
