ARTIST BIO
Born in 1971 in Yuanjiang, China, Jiang Zhi graduated from the China Academy of Art (CAFA) in 1995. He currently lives and works in Beijing, China.
Widely regarded as one of the most versatile Chinese artists of his generation, Jiang Zhi works with a wide range of media, including photography, painting, video and installation as well as publishing volumes of fiction and poetry. Consistently engaging with contemporary social and cultural issues, Jiang consciously positions himself at the intersection of poetics and sociology, whilst weaving everyday social and personal experience into his works. His practice explores the problematic conditions of modern consciousness, looking to complex computer imagery for stimulation. His manipulated images which combine reality with hi-tech digital imagery represent and revisit our perceived present and the mental conceptions we bring to it.
Jiang Zhi had major solo retrospectives at Chinese institutions such as OCAT Shenzhen and the Times Museum in Guangzhou. He has exhibited at international institutions and biennials including the Guggenheim Museum New York, M+ Museum Hong Kong, the 9th Shanghai Biennale at the Shanghai Power Station of Art, the 4th Guangzhou Triennial at the Guangdong Art Museum, ICP and Asia Society New York, the 50th Biennale di Venezia, the 4th Gwangju Biennale. Jiang Zhi was awarded the Chinese Contemporary Art Award, the Academic Award of Reshaping History, and the Credit Suisse Today Art Award.

Largement considéré comme l’un des artistes chinois les plus polyvalents et talentueux de sa génération, Jiang Zhi travaille avec un large éventail de médiums, notamment la photographie, la peinture, la vidéo et l’installation, ainsi que la publication de volumes de fiction et de poésie. Constamment engagé dans les problèmes sociaux et culturels de son époque, Jiang se positionne consciemment à l’intersection de la poésie et de la sociologie, tout en intégrant l’expérience sociale et personnelle du quotidien dans ses oeuvres. Sa pratique explore les problématiques de la conscience moderne, à la recherche d’images informatiques complexes pour sa stimulation. Ses images manipulées qui combinent réalité et imagerie numérique de haute technologie représentent et revisitent notre perception du temps présent et les conceptions mentales que nous y projetons.
