1983年生于重庆,现工作生活于北京。

关小以一种充满乐趣的方式进行雕塑、影像和装置作品的创作。她在各种丰富的材料之间建立各不相同的关系,创造出一种突破历史和文化界限的视觉语言,用拼贴的方式,将经典艺术语言与工业制造文明融合在一起,创作出独特的当代艺术形式。她通常会将实体物件,例如工业制品和文化产品,与浏览台式和笔记本电脑荧幕中那无限宇宙所收获的大量的图像相并置。她将截取自彼此对立、甚至相互冲突的领域中的材料转化为具有凝聚性的肌理,融合了古典与现代、数字与模拟、自然与人造等模式。关小对材料的排布颇具预见性又令人着迷,她的作品协调着可能性与隐现的危机,批判技术对当下的时刻入侵,并对我们即将来临的、纷乱错杂的未来提供令人难忘的想象。


Born in Chongqing in 1983, currently working and living in Beijing. 

Guan takes a playful approach to her sculpture, video, and installation artworks. She creates a visual language that breaks through historical and cultural boundaries by establishing diverse relationships between a variety of rich materials, using collage to fuse classical art language with industrial manufacturing civilization to build a unique form of contemporary art. She often juxtaposes physical objects – such as industrial products and cultural artifacts – alongside images amassed from scrolling through the infinite universe of desktop and laptop screens. Her works generate cohesive textures between binaries sourced from contrasting and even conflicting worlds, and fuse old and modern, digital and analogue, and natural and artificial modes. Attuned to both possibilities and looming hazards, Guan Xiao’s prescient and fascinating arrangements critique the technological thrust of the present moment while providing indelible visions of our dislocated, rapidly approaching future.
