Lin Jingjing (Traditional Chinese: 林菁菁; Simplified Chinese: same as Traditional) is a contemporary artist based in New York. Her practice spans across performances, installation, painting, mixed media, and video.[1]
Early life and education
[edit]Lin Jingjing was born in Shanghai in 1970. She received a B.F.A. from the Fine Art Department of Fujian University in 1992 and an M.F.A. the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing in 1994. In 2020, she received an M.F.A. from School of Visual Arts in New York.[2]
Lin Jingjing's conceptual practice is characterized by her investigation of social and personal identities. Her artworks often comment on the contemporary socio-political landscape using poetic visual language and highlight the paradoxes that exist in social structures and phenomena.[3]
Career and notable projects
[edit]Since 1997, Lin Jingjing has shown in public institutions as well as private galleries worldwide. She was a resident artist at Residency Unlimited in New York in 2018[4] and for MASS MoCa in Massachusetts in 2022. Her work has been acquired by select permanent collections including the National Art Museum of China in Beijing, Ivam Museum in Valencia, Chilean National Museum of Fine Art in Santiago, The Mountain Group Museum in Taiwan, Haisu Art Museum in Shanghai, He Xiang Ning Art Museum in Shenzhen, Tai Da Museum in Tianjing, White Box Art Museum in Beijing, and Long Museum in Shanghai.[4]
I Want to Be with You Forever (2009)
[edit]I Want to Be with You Forever is Lin Jingjing's solo exhibition at Songzhuang Art Museum in 2009[5]. The exhibited artworks explored the complexities of identity through the social paradigms of romantic love. The eponymous artwork comprised of photographs of 300 couples, in which the women were cut out, leaving the men embracing an empty space. In an interview with Tate, the artist described the work as "explor[ing] issues of female identity" but deals with the universal condition of loneliness and the struggle for identity.[6]
「......I......」(2011-18)
[edit]
「......I......」is a site-specific performance and a socially-engaged art project by Lin Jingjing that was presented at White Box Art Museum in 2011 (Chinese version), Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts in 2011 (Spanish version), Neues Kunstforum in 2017 (German version) and at Residency Unlimited in 2018 (English version).[7]
In the former three iterations, the artist invited participants to alter a selection of books, erasing all text except "I", "me", and punctuation marks. The performance explores the relationship between self identity and social context, and comments on the significance of connections in the recognizing the self.[3]
In the 2018 Residency Unlimited iteration, a group of performers, to the rhythm of a metronome, read out loud excerpts from speeches delivered by Donald Trump during his presidency, where all the text has been removed except for the pronoun "I" and emphatic words such as "great" and "huge". The performance reflected upon the conflicts and confusion that were arising in the political and cultural landscape at the time.[7]
Rose, Rose (2011-12)
[edit]
Rose Rose is a performance created by Lin Jingjing that was exhibited at the Chilean National Museum, Italy-China Biennale of Contemporary Art in Monza, Milan, and in sporadic public locations in Hong Kong. The three iterations were varied in content but each utilized roses, the petals of which were sewn together using red string by the participants or the artist herself.[8]
Lov-Lov (2018-)
[edit]
Lov-Lov is an ongoing project by Lin Jingjing that was first developed for her solo exhibition Lov-Lov Shop at DE SARTHE in 2019.[9] The project explores the impact of artificial intelligence on society, and reflects upon the significance of humanity in an increasingly automated world.[10] The project was then taken to its next stage in 2024 when Lin Jingjing began creating artwork under the artist alias of "Lov-Lov". Building on the original concept, the change in artist identity attempts to mimic the freedom and fluidity of an AI artist.[11] Lov-Lov's artworks have been shown in solo exhibitions in Hong Kong and Scottsdale[12], and at international art fairs including Art Basel Hong Kong[13] and West Bund Art & Design.[14]
A New Dawn for America (2019) on the Manhattan Bridge
[edit]
In November 2019, Lin Jingjing's video artwork A New Dawn for America was projected onto the Manhattan Bridge as part of the video art exhibit Light Year 55: That'll Learn You curated by John Ensor Parker.[15]
