    Together系列作品中茶壶的原型来自于艺术家母亲常用的一款老式茶壶,她于2018年在景德镇驻留期间,从当地手工制作工艺的调研中获得启发,以当地手工陶瓷倒膜注浆的制作技术复制了这一形象。陶瓷磨具的制作工艺是以负形两次翻模后物理解构再重组的方式完成的,在反复肢解再结合的过程中艺术家以茶壶作为家庭中权力角色的隐喻展开了叙事与对其内部的探索。茶壶系列一共有12个不同结构方式的共生形象,在倒模这种强调一致,统一形象的技术工序中,艺术家试图逐步揭示非主流父权知识结构中的女性处境,女性代际中所传递的内化的压抑与畸形的身体。

     

    The prototype of the teapot in the Together series comes from an old teapot used by the artist's mother, inspired by her research on the local handmade crafts during her residency in Jingdezhen in 2018 and replicated the image with the local handmade ceramic inverted film and grouting production technique.The ceramic grouting process is accomplished by physically deconstructing and reassembling the negative form after turning the mold twice, and in the process of repeated dismemberment and recombination the artist unfolds a narrative and exploration of the interior of the teapot as a metaphor for the role of power in the household.The teapot series consists of twelve symbiotic images with different structural approaches. In the technical process of inverting the mold, which emphasizes consistency and unity of image, the artist attempts to gradually reveal the situation of women in the non-mainstream patriarchal knowledge structure, and the internalized repression and deformed body passed on from one generation to the next.

    Ying Xue 薛萤 (b.1993)

    yy?’s work encompasses social practice, installations, textiles and texts. She studied at the University of Leeds (Leeds, UK) as an undergraduate and subsequently at the Royal College of Art (London, UK), where she received her MA in Public Sphere in 2019.
    Her practice reflects her longstanding interest in the position of the women’s subject within patriarchy, making critical social practices through researching feminist philosophies and activism, the power dynamics within the Asian family, also expanding the imaginaries around the polyphyletic community.
    The community has turned in to a shit hole, I do not think I should be born in this family. My parents are not sensible and they do not know how to be a parent.

     

    薛萤的作品涵盖了社会实践、装置、纺织和⽂本。她的本科就读于利兹⼤学(利兹,英国),随后在皇家艺术学院(伦敦,英国)学习,于2019年获得公共领域的硕⼠学位。她的实践反映了她对⼥性主体在⽗权制中的地位的长期兴趣,通过研究⼥权主义哲学与激进⾏动、亚洲家庭内部的权⼒动态进⾏批判性的社会实践,延展围绕多元社区的想象。
