謝淑妮
創作論述

1960年代生於香港的謝淑妮,目前居住在美國洛杉磯,作為在國際上享有讚譽的藝術家,謝淑妮的作品常常是融合了雕塑和影像媒介的裝置作品,致力透過雕塑、攝影、文字和裝置藝術來呈現異質性,形成了獨特又多維的思考模式。此次代表香港參與威尼斯雙年展,也將根據特定場域,進行全新創作。

1990年謝淑妮在香港中文大學攻讀藝術系文學士時,參與了加州大學柏克萊分校的海外教育計劃。1996年獲加州帕薩迪納的藝術中心設計學院頒發藝術碩士學位。謝淑妮的作品曾在全球很多重要博物館展出,包括悉尼雙年展、安大略美術館、紐約P.S.1當代藝術中心等等。謝淑妮目前由洛杉磯Shoshana Wayne畫廊代理,並在2016年為其舉辦了最新個展“Lift Me Up So I Can See Better”。

謝淑妮的創作方式多變,例如融合互相沖突的美學元素、研究塑膠的符號學、引起人們對間隙的注意、擴展動作的語言、混合不同比例、顛覆各個範疇、利用現成物作主觀性的懸置,並且探索並存的敘事。
