BANK欣然宣布艺术家张移北参与西海美术馆举办的“第二届TAG新当代：离岸”展览，此次艺术家呈现了《当春天来临时，第一道阳光属于我》、《花瓶》及《陈旧病变》共三组作品。
对材料本身的探索和延伸体现在张移北的许多雕塑创作中。经由艺术家对破坏和改造，这些材料和现成品原本的功能属性被悬置，重塑、组合。作品《当春天来临时，第一道阳光属于我》借用了普契尼的歌剧《艺术家生涯》中名为“咪咪”的角色的一段台词。三条被子提示着舒服、敞开的心理状态，正如歌剧中破陋阁楼的住客们对生活依然充满希望。《花瓶》初次亮相于2019年张移北在BANK的个展，她通过“凿孔”这一行为将各种物体转化为了“花瓶”。作品《陈旧病变》中，被夸张形变的三个高压锅上刻着病理名词“钙化灶”，与附着其上的陶瓷小物件形成力量比照，内化的压力与外部的脆弱，映射着艺术家想表达的心理状态。
2024年第二届“TAG·新当代”展览采取推举的形式，10位入围艺术家由学术委员会共同评选而出。他们分别从个人经历和独特角度出发，通过绘画、影像、装置和新媒体等艺术形式，探讨了基于后人类时代背景下生物体、人类群体以及现实虚拟空间的各种变化和进化，共同向公众展现年轻艺术家的创作思考和美学观念。
BANK is pleased to announce that the participation of artist Zhang Yibei in "The 2nd TAG New Contemporary: Seaward" at TAG Art Museum with her works "When Spring Comes, the First Ray of Sunlight Belongs to Me", "Old Lesions", and "Vase".
The exploration and extension of the material itself is reflected in many of Zhang Yibei's sculptures. Through the artist's destruction and transformation, the original functional properties of these materials and readymade products are suspended, reshaped, and combined. The work "When Spring Comes, the First Ray of Sunlight Belongs to Me" borrows a line from Puccini's opera The Artist's Life from a character named Mimi. The three quilts suggest a comfortable, open state of mind, just as the occupants of the shabby attic in the opera remain hopeful about life. The work "Vase", first shown in Zhang Yibei's solo exhibition at BANK in 2019. In this show, the artist transformed various objects into vases through the act of "chiseling". "Old Lesions" consists of three pressure cookers with exaggerated deformation are engraved with the pathological term "calcification foci", which contrasts with the power of the small ceramic objects attached to them, and the internalized pressure and external vulnerability maps out the psychological state that the artist intends to express.
The 2nd TAG-New Contemporary took the form of a nomination process, with 10 finalists selected by an academic committee. From their individual experiences and distinctive perspectives, the artists have undertaken an exploration through the transformations and evolution of organisms, human collectives, and tangible as well as virtual spaces in the context of the post-human era. Through diverse art forms encompassing painting, video, installation, and new media, collectively presenting to the public the innovative thinking and aesthetic concepts of the emerging artists.

关于艺术家 About the Artist
张移北 Zhang Yibei
张移北，1992年生于大庆。现⼯作⽣活于北京。硕士毕业于英国皇家艺术学院雕塑系，本科毕业于英国伦敦艺术⼤学雕塑系。张移北曾获得2019年第七届明天雕塑奖，2021年入围华宇青年奖，并获选Longlati基金会2022-2023年度驻留艺术家。近期重要展览包括：个展“所有东西凿出一个孔都可以成为花瓶”（BANK，上海，2021）；群展“第二届TAG新当代：离岸”（西海美术馆，青岛，2023）“应激之机”（泰康空间，北京，2023），“断裂的一代”（松美术馆，北京，2022），“日常的智慧—当代艺术邀请展”（银川当代美术馆，银川，2021），“第四届今日文献展（今日美术馆，北京，2019），“还要什么自行车”（德国文化中心·歌德学院，北京，2019）等。作品被松美术馆、Longlati基金会、北京泰康空间收藏。
张移北从一个假定的命题出发，在介于艺术家、材料与观念三者关系的重新思考。在这种构思/反思过程中，艺术家和她的材料形成了实在世界，实在世界构成了观念世界，思维和材料共同构成了艺术家的意象，这种意象就像鸡与蛋的关系，通向了艺术家与材料之间的合作关系。因此，材料、艺术家和思想注定要共存。那么什么是材料，谁是艺术家呢？观念在哪里？我们也许可以认为，艺术家挑选她的材料，无论是石头、硅还是世界上已经存在的东西(现成物)，因为她把她的材料组合成她的潜意识的参考物体。这给移北提出了一个问题，即材料是否属于艺术家，或者反之亦然，即相对于材料，艺术家被选择、移动，或者对于艺术家来说，材料被移动、选择。

Graduated from Royal College of Art MA Fine Art (Sculpture) 2017 and University of Arts London, Wimbledon College of Arts - BA Fine Art (Sculpture) 2015.

Yibei Zhang starts with a proposition, that is, a rethinking of the relationship between artist, material and ideation. In this rethinking, the artist and her materials form the entity world and the entity world frames the ideation world; ideation and material together compose the imagery of the artist and this imagery leads, chicken and egg-like, to the collaboration of artist and material. Material, artist and ideation are therefore fated to co-exist. What then is material and who is the artist? Where is ideation? We might deem that the artist picks her material, be it stone, silicon or things that exist in the world (found or sought objects), because she combines her materials as reference objects to her subconscious. This poses for Yibei the question of whether the material belongs to the artist or vice versa, i.e. relative to material, the artist is moved and relative to the artist, the material is moved.
