Alice Yutong Hua is an interdisciplinary artist who works primarily in installation, image, and painting. She works with a catalogue of records. By collecting and organizing memory, trace, or simply proof of the passing time that are constantly occurring in our contemporary life, she gains the initial momentum of a piece. It is then layered and expanded into a contextualized narrative that deploys the innate quality of the media, whether tangible or intangible. If the conversation has been activated successfully, the artist and her audience, as a collective, will share the incidental experience.
Born and raised in Shanghai, Hua received a BA of Studio Art, minoring in chemistry and music from Colby College, Maine in 2019, and received an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2023. She now lives and works in New York and Shanghai. Her works have been shown in 121 Art Space (Taipei), A Space (New York), Litang Gallery, Three Shadows Photography Art Center (Beijing), Cranbrook Museum of Art (Bloomfield Hill, MI), Colby College Museum of Art (Waterville, ME), Acentric Space (Shanghai), among others.
Alice Yutong Hua 是一位跨学科艺术家,主要从事装置、影像与绘画创作。她的创作基于一套“记录的档案系统(catalogue of records)”。通过收集与整理记忆、痕迹,或是当代生活中不断发生的时间流逝的证据,她获得作品最初的驱动力。在此基础上,作品被不断叠加与延展,发展为具有语境的叙事结构,并调动不同媒介(无论是有形还是无形)的内在属性。如果这一过程成功激活了对话,艺术家与观众将作为一个整体,共同分享这一偶发的经验。
她出生并成长于上海,2019年毕业于美国缅因州科尔比学院(Colby College),获工作室艺术学士学位,并辅修化学与音乐;2023年获得克兰布鲁克艺术学院(Cranbrook Academy of Art)艺术硕士学位。现生活与工作于纽约与上海。其作品曾在台北121 Art Space、纽约A Space、李唐画廊、北京三影堂摄影艺术中心、克兰布鲁克艺术博物馆(Bloomfield Hills, MI)、科尔比学院艺术博物馆(Waterville, ME)、上海Acentric Space等机构展出。
