Event Details

What are the confusions and challenges of young artists and curators when facing our complex social environment? What are their unique perspectives and sensibilities in creating and practicing? On the occasion of the second exhibition collaboration between the MFA program at the Yale School of Art and the Beijing SPURS Gallery, we invite Yale Art graduate V Yeh MFA '24 to join artist Yan Zhou and curator Iris Long to share their artistic practices and experiences on August 30 at Yale Center Beijing. The event features a special address recorded by Kymberly Pinder, Dean of Yale School of Art.

Speakers

  • V Yeh MFA ’24 (Artist)

    V Yeh MFA ’24

    Artist

    V Yeh (b. 1996, USA) received his BA of Medicine, Science, and the Humanities from Johns Hopkins University, and MFA in Painting and Printmaking at the Yale School of Art. He is an artist whose practice/praxis is in dialogue with science, medicine, and the visual and performance arts. His multimodal work grapples with normativity, artificial delineations—both scientific and cultural—and the material reality of specific bodyminds.

    Yan Zhou

    Artist

    Yan Zhou (b. Beijing) received his BFA in Visual Communication from the School of Design at China Central Academy of Fine Arts, and his MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Yan Zhou’s practice explores issues of interrelationality and codependency between individuals and collectives. He spots on the minutiae of things, approaching the forgotten realms of causality through various methods, carefully weaving these remnants. He works in a variety of media from video installations and gaming to artist books. His works have been exhibited at various international venues and programs.
