生活在北京的策展人、艺术史研究者。苏伟最近几年的工作聚焦于对中国当代艺术历史的再叙述和激进想象,探索其全球语境中的合法性和断裂性的根源。这一工作的核心,是重新提取 “1949后” 当代情境中的艺术生产,描述其衰颓与虚无双重面貌下的限度、情境线索和无意识的能量,从而批判性地展开反制度的实践,重新定义艺术在今天的立场及可能性。他曾在泰特现代美术馆、曼彻斯特华人艺术中心等机构参与或组织研讨会。2017-2020年,他担任北京中间美术馆高级策展人。
他策划的展览包括深圳雕塑双年展(深圳OCAT,2012年),“没有先例:1986年以来的香港录像和新媒体艺术实践”(香港Videotage,2016年),和 “动情:1949后变局中的情感与艺术观念” (北京中间美术馆,2019年)等。
Su Wei, a curator and art history researcher based in Beijing, has devoted recent years to reinterpreting and radical imagination of the history of contemporary Chinese art. His focus lies in exploring the legitimacy and ruptures within its global context. Central to his work is the re-examination of artistic production in the “post-1949” era he defines as a contemporary situation,delineating its boundaries and contextual clues amidst the dual specters of decay and emptiness, as well as the unconscious energy. He was Senior Curator at the Beijing Inside-Out Art Museum from 2017 to 2020. He has been involved in organizing seminars at esteemed institutions such as the Tate Modern and the Manchester Chinese Arts Centre.
His exhibition projects include: the 7th Shenzhen Sculpture Biennale “Accidental Message: Art Is Not a System, Not a World” (Shenzhen OCAT, 2012), “No Reference: A Revisit of Hong Kong Video and Media Arts from 1985” (Hong Kong Videotage, 2016), and “Community of Feeling: Emotional Patterns in Art in Post-1949 China” (Beijing Inside-Out Art Museum, 2019), etc.
