1963年生于上海,1984年毕业于上海轻工业高等专科学校美术设计系,现工作生活于上海。

施勇作为中国较早从事装置与影像媒介的代表人物之一,自1993年起,他的作品就在国内外被广泛展出。早期创作致力于揭示现实内部的意识形态;九十年代开始关注改革开放神话下的当代上海的转型概念,继而引向更宏观的全球化,消费文化等层面。2006年,从作品“2007没有卡塞尔文献展”始,施勇将质疑的目光落实于艺术界本身,思考如何通过“搁置”创作来予以抵抗。2015年个展“让所有的可能都在内部以美好的形式解决”,既是之前创作的延续,又传达了其未来意图在表面“抽象”之下展开对于“控制”的反思与实践。


Born in Shanghai in 1963, graduated from the Art Design Department of Shanghai Light Industry College in 1984, currently works and lives in Shanghai.

Shi Yong is a representative figure of contemporary Chinese artists who first started working with installation and video media. Since 1993, his works have been widely exhibited both in China and abroad. His artworks cover a wide range of mediums including performance, video, and installation. Shi Yong’s earliest artistic practices focused on revealing the subtlety of our reality and the inherent tension of the "system". At the end of the 1990s, Shi began focusing on the idea of Shanghai’s transformations under the Chinese economic reform, which contributed to a discussion of globalization and consumerism. Since 2006, with the piece "Sorry, There will be no Documenta in 2007", he turned his attention to the art world that he's been involved in, pondering how to provide a more rational perspective through his creative works. Shi Yong’s 2015 solo exhibition "Let All Potential Be Internally Resolved Using Beautiful Form" continues his art practice, disclosing his intention to expand the reflection and practice of “control” under the seemingly “abstract” future.
