杨福东 Yang Fudong

1971年生于北京。毕业于中国美术学院油画系，被誉为目前中国最成功和最有影响力的艺术家之一。从九十年代末起，杨福东就开始从事影像作品的创作。无论是摄影、电影还是装置，均以多重的文化透视、交错的时空体验形成独特的文化视觉诠释。他的作品具有明显的多重透视特征，其作品探讨着神话、个人记忆和生活体验中身份的结构和形式,每件作品都是一次戏剧化的生存经历，一次挑战。曾参加德国卡塞尔文献展、威尼斯国际艺术双年展、法国里昂双年展、亚太当代艺术三年展等多个重要的国际当代艺术大展。2004年入选纽约古根海姆当代艺术奖，成为继蔡国强、黄永砯之后第三位获此殊荣的华人艺术家。现工作生活于上海。

Yang Fudong was born in Beijing in 1971, and now lives and works in Shanghai. He graduated from the Department of Oil Painting, China Academy of Art in Hangzhou. He is among the most successful and influential Chinese artists today. Yang has started to create video works since late 1990s. His works form a unique cultural visual interpretation through multiple cultural perspectives interlaced with experiences of space and time with photograph, film and installation. They are all characterized by multi-perspectives, exploring the structures and forms of identities in myths, personal memories and life experiences. Each work could be considered as both a dramatic lived experience and a challenge. Yang Fudong has participated in several prestigious international art events including Documenta in Kassel (2002), Venice Biennale (2003/2007), the Venice Biennale (2003/2007), the Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (2006) and the Lyon Biennale of Contemporary Art (2013). He was one of finalists shortlisted for the Hugo Boss Prize in 2004 and won this honor as the third Chinese artist after Cai Guoqiang and Huang Yongping.
