姜杰，1991年毕业于中央美术学院雕塑系，现为中央美院雕塑系教授。姜杰是一位长期活跃于中国当代艺术前沿的雕塑家，她的艺术以深度的人文关怀和敏锐的视角探讨处于边缘状态的人、事、物。姜杰的作品的一个重要特点就在于她将个人体验转化为当代艺术话语，换句话说，她的作品极具私人性，事实上这种私人性又并非个人传记式的描述，而是将个体的存在普世化。正如露易丝·格丽克的表述 “把我的诗当成自传来读，我为此受到无尽的烦扰。我利用我的生活给予我的素材，但让我感兴趣的并不是它们发生在我身上，让我感兴趣的是，它们似乎是……范式。”
2018年获萧淑芳艺术奖·评委会奖，2015年获中国ACC艺术大奖提名奖。2009年度马爹利非凡艺术人物大奖。近期展览《驿动》，元典美术馆，天津，2020；《六个盒子》当代艺术展，悦来美术馆，重庆，2020；《如同我们，所有莫名的渴望》，金鹰美术馆，南京，2020；《感同身受》，松美术馆，北京，2018；《艺术史：40×40——从四十位艺术家看改革开放四十年的中国当代艺术》，宝龙美术馆，上海，2018；《根茎——中国当代艺术自主性研究展》，今日美术馆，北京，2017；《国际女性艺术特展 》，龙美术馆，上海，2016；《无形的手：策展作为立场——第二届CAFAM双年展》，中央美术学院美术馆，北京，2014；《时代肖像：当代艺术30年》，上海当代艺术博物馆，上海，2013等。
Jiang Jie has graduated from the Sculpture Department of Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) in 1991, and she currently works as the professor of Sculpture at the CAFA. Member of the school academic committee. Jiang Jie is an artist who has been active on the frontier of Chinese contemporary art, and her art uses an in-depth humanistic concern to explore people, things and objects in a state at the edge seen from a keen perspective. An important feature of Jiang Jie’s works is that she translates her own experience into the discourse of contemporary art. in other words, her works are highly personal, yet not as an autobiographical description. Instead, it’s a universal expression of an individual’s existence, just as Louise Glück put it, “ I am endlessly irritated by the reading of my poems as autobiography. I draw on the materials my life has given me, but what interests me isn’t that they happen to me, what interests me is that they seem, as I look around, paradigmatic.”
