Chiharu Shiota
盐田千春（1972 年生于大阪）是一位常驻柏林的艺术家，她以由密集线网构成、包裹日常材料的沉浸式装置而广为人知。她的灵感往往源自某种个人经验或情感，并将其扩展为关于生命、死亡与人际关系等普遍的人类关怀。她通过收集鞋子、钥匙、床、椅子和连衣裙等日常物件，并用巨大的线性结构将它们吞没，重新定义了记忆与意识的概念。她通过这些装置探索一种 “缺席中的在场” 的感受，同时也在雕塑、绘画、行为影像、摄影和绘画中呈现无形的情感。
她的重要个展包括 “颤动的灵魂”，巴黎大皇宫（2024–25），该展览为由东京森美术馆于 2019 年策划的大型巡回展的一部分，并曾巡回至包括柏林格罗皮乌斯博物馆（2020）在内的多家国际机构；“不安的灵魂”，布拉格美术馆（2024）；“盐田千春：两个故乡”，日本协会，纽约（2023）；“盐田千春”，萨凡纳艺术与设计学院美术馆（2023）；“看不见的线”，奥胡斯艺术博物馆（2022）；“沉睡之中”，豪斯构成主义美术馆，苏黎世（2006）；以及 “皮肤的记忆”，KW 当代艺术中心，柏林（2003）。
她的作品亦曾在多项重要国际群展中展出，包括 “在世界之间”，伊斯坦布尔现代美术馆（2024）；爱知三年展（2022）；第 56 届威尼斯双年展日本馆（2015）；“简单形式：沉思之美”，蓬皮杜中心梅斯分馆（2015）；濑户内国际艺术祭（2010）；以及横滨三年展（2001）。
盐田千春曾于 2008 年以新人身份获得日本文部科学大臣艺术鼓励奖，并于 2024 年再次获得该奖项。她的作品被多个重要公共机构收藏，包括东京森美术馆、东京国立近代美术馆、巴黎蓬皮杜中心以及东京都现代美术馆。
盐田千春的个展” 生命之线 “目前正在伦敦海沃德美术馆展出，展期至 2026 年 5 月 3 日。
Chiharu Shiota (b. 1972, Osaka) is a Berlin-based artist who is widely known for immersive installations composed of dense networks of thread that envelop everyday materials. Her inspiration often emerges from a personal experience or emotion which she expands into universal human concerns such as life, death and relationships. She has redefined the concept of memory and consciousness by collecting ordinary objects such as shoes, keys, beds, chairs and dresses, and engulfing them in immense thread structures. She explores this sensation of a "presence in the absence" with her installations, but also presents intangible emotions in her sculptures, drawings, performance videos, photographs and canvases.
Her solo exhibitions include The Soul Trembles, Grand Palais, Paris (2024–25), part of a major traveling exhibition organized by the Mori Art Museum, Tokyo (2019), which toured internationally to venues including Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin (2020); The Unsettled Soul, Kunsthalle Praha, Prague (2024); Chiharu Shiota: Two Home Countries, Japan Society, New York (2023); Chiharu Shiota, SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah (2023); Invisible Line, ARoS Aarhus Art Museum, Aarhus (2022); During Sleep, Museum Haus Konstruktiv, Zurich (2006); and Memory of Skin, Kunst-Werke Institute for Contemporary Art (KW), Berlin (2003).
Her work has also been presented in major international group exhibitions including Between Worlds, Istanbul Modern, Istanbul (2024); Aichi Triennale (2022); the 56th Venice Biennale, Japan Pavilion (2015); Simple Forms: Contemplating Beauty, Centre Pompidou-Metz, Metz (2015); Setouchi Triennale (2010); and Yokohama Triennale (2001).
Shiota was awarded the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology’s Art Encouragement Prize in Japan again in 2024, after receiving the prize as a new artist in 2008. Her works are held in major public collections including the Mori Art Museum, Tokyo; the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo; Centre Pompidou, Paris; and the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo.
Chiharu Shiota’s solo exhibition Threads of Life is now on view at the Hayward Gallery, London, through May 3, 2026.
