尹秀珍
Yin Xiuzhen
尹秀珍（1963 年生于北京）于 1989 年毕业于首都师范大学美术系，现生活工作于北京。她以由旧衣物、鞋子、行李箱等二手物品构成的雕塑与装置作品闻名，这些材料有时直接取自陌生人。尹秀珍对社会现实的关注一直围绕着具体的个体经验展开，将私人的生命传记编织进历史的集体叙事之中。自上世纪 90 年代开始，尹秀珍以活跃的姿态参与到中国当代艺术进程中多个重要节点性展览及事件中，她以敏锐而诗意化的创作直觉捕捉了急速发展的社会中主流叙事背后的迷失与不安。
尹秀珍曾于世界各地的博物馆及艺术机构举办个展，包括：“刺天”，上海当代艺术博物馆（2024–25）；“尹秀珍：涟漪应力”，上海玻璃博物馆（2023）；“补天”，CHAT 六厂，香港（2020–21）；“尹秀珍”，荷兰格罗宁根博物馆（2012），后巡展至德国杜塞尔多夫美术馆（2012–13）；“项目 92：尹秀珍”，纽约现代艺术博物馆（2010)。
她还参加了多个重要群展，包括： “愿你生活在有趣的时代”，第 58 届威尼斯双年展（2019）; “1989 后的艺术与中国：世界剧场”，纽约古根海姆博物馆（2017）；“日常奇迹”，第 52 届威尼斯双年展中国馆（2007）；“蜕变与突破⸺中国新艺术展”，纽约现代艺术博物馆（1998）。
尹秀珍的作品被全球重要博物馆及艺术机构收藏，包括荷兰格罗宁根博物馆、德国杜塞尔多夫艺术宫博物馆、澳大利亚白兔美术馆、丹麦 ARoS 奥胡斯艺术博物馆、日本森美术馆、K11 艺术基金会、香港 M + 等。2014 年，费顿出版社著名的 “当代艺术家” 系列丛书为尹秀珍出版专著，这是继草间弥生之后第二位入选的亚洲女性艺术家。
尹秀珍的个展 “谈心” 正在伦敦海沃德美术馆展出，展出至 2026 年 5 月 3 日。
Yin Xiuzhen (b. 1963, Beijing) received a BA in oil painting from the Fine Arts Department, Capital Normal University in 1989, and now lives and works in Beijing. She is best known for sculptures and installations comprised of secondhand objects such as clothing, shoes, and suitcases, sometimes sourcing them directly from strangers. Her focus on social reality has always revolved around specific individual experiences, weaving private life biographies into the collective narrative of history. Since the 1990s, Yin has actively participated in many important exhibitions and events in the process of Chinese contemporary art. With her keen and poetic intuition, she has captured the lost and uneasy behind the mainstream narratives in the rapidly developing society.
Her works have been shown extensively in various international exhibitions, including Piercing the Sky, Power Station of Art, Shanghai (2024–25); Yin Xiuzhen: Rippled Stress, Shanghai Museum of Glass (2023); Sky Patch, Centre for Heritage Arts and Textile, Hong Kong (2020–21); Yin Xiuzhen, The Groninger Museum, Groningen, the Netherlands (2012), which traveled to Städtische Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, Germany (2012–13); Projects 92: Yin Xiuzhen, The Museum of Modern Art, New York (2010), among others.
She has also participated in numerous important group exhibitions, including May You Live in Interesting Times, 58th Venice Biennale (2019); Art and China after 1989: Theater of the World, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York (2017); Daily Explosion, China Pavilion of the 52nd Venice Biennale (2007); Inside Out: New Chinese Art, MoMA, New York (1998).
Yin’s works are collected by important museums and art institutions around the world, including Groninger Museum, Netherlands; Museum Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf; White Rabbit Gallery, Australia; ARoS Aarhus Art Museum, Denmark; Mori Art Museum, Tokyo; K11 Art Foundation; M+, Hong Kong and others. In 2014, Phaidon Publishing House’s famous Contemporary Artists series releases a monograph for Yin Xiuzhen, who is the second Asian female artist to be featured after Yayoi Kusama.
Yin Xiuzhen’s solo exhibition Heart to Heart is now on view at the Hayward Gallery, London, through May 3, 2026.
