她关注物件与材料的物质层面、心理层面意义，通过艺术创作探索雕塑性物件与身体的关系，创造对峙式的或沉浸式的语境以探索人类感知经验。她的铜质或铝制雕塑作品以别样的方式宣告手工制作雕塑物件的独立性，并强调雕塑在人类纪发生的物质性及精神性演变。娜布其的装置作品集结了现成品及工业材料 —— 包括镜子、灯具、人造植物、铁轨乃至奶牛模型等 —— 以一种包裹性的空间状态描绘能动观看主体的空间政治属性。
Nabuqi was born in Inner Mongolia in 1984, she lives and works in Beijing. Her recent exhibitions include “In the Midst of It All”, (Golden Eagle Museum of Art, Nanjing, 2021); “Noire Lumière”, (HOW Art Museum, Shanghai, 2020); “Study of Things. Or A Brief Story about Fountain, Brick, Tin, Coin, Wax, Stone, Shell, Curtain and Body”, (Guangdong Times Museum, Guangdong, 2020); 58th Venice Biennale (Venice, 2019); “Cold Nights” (UCCA Art Centre, 2017); “Absent Paragraph” (Museum Beelden aan Zee, 2017); “Any Ball” (Central Academy of Fine Arts, 2017), the 11th Shanghai Biennale (2016) and the 10th Gwangju Biennale (2016). She has been nominated for the 2016 Art Sanya Huayu Youth Award.
Focusing on both the physical and psychological nature of objects and materials, Nabuqi’s work deals with the relationship between the sculptural objects and the bodily, and explores human perceptions in either confrontational or immersive spatial contexts. Her bronze or aluminium sculptures propose anew the independence of the hand-made, sculpted objects, and emphasise its evolving relationship with the bodily in the age of the anthropological. Her installations, on the other hand, assemble readymades and industrial materials – from mirrors, lamps, artificial plants to train rails and a life-size model of a cow – and creates enveloping settings in and around which the spatial politics of the active, viewing subject is delineated.
