介绍

王卉萌 (Astra Huimeng Wang) 创造事件和环境来研究真相和身份的塑造。她与各个领域的人展开跨界合作,无论是与管弦乐队、诗人、戏剧演员,有时甚至是陌生人进行广泛的合作。在她的跨媒体创作中,我们可以看到极富创意的表达手法:例如,21人将不同的文字纹在身上,共同组成了她的一首短诗;一个合唱团在安全笼子里,情感高涨地演绎《欢乐颂》的变奏曲;一架钢琴在加州沙漠中被击中400次;数百人参加的为期三天的巧克力喷泉派对按预期出现了严重错误,显得十分怪诞和幽默。王卉萌的作品从文学、电影和她自身的生物医学背景中汲取灵感,带有反复出现的欲望和冲突元素,以及挥之不去的危机感,为观众呈现了一种极为讽刺和黑色幽默的生存状态,预示着我们可能面临的各种层面上的危机。


王卉萌出生于中国内蒙,分别在北京航空航天大学和旧金山艺术学院 (San Francisco Art Institute)获得了生物医学工程本科学位与工作室艺术硕士学位。她曾在 MacDowell、Millay Arts、Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts 和 Wilhardt & Naud 等机构获得奖学金并驻留。她曾在 Make Room (洛杉矶)、Woaw Gallery (香港)、Fort Mason 文化艺术中心(旧金山)、宾夕法尼亚州立大学 (Pennsylvania State University)和洛杉矶室内乐团 (Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra)举办展览和演出。
