朱田出生于中国浙江,现工作生活于英国伦敦、爱丁堡。2014年毕业于英国皇家艺术学院雕塑系获得硕士学位,2007年获英国伯恩茅斯大学声音设计硕士,2006年英国诺丁汉大学经济学本科学位。朱田进行不同规模的历时性装置、雕塑艺术创作及行为艺术实践。她的内省式作品曾引用巴塔耶、加缪、耶利内克等人的文学作品意象,以出人意料的形式尝试颠覆固有意识,进行幽默而充满尖锐反思的个人叙事。通过她的重组,那些挑战着已知文明意识形态边界的人类行为被置于个人化的背景下重新思考,将关于人性的可能与潜力的推测推向一个特殊的层面。
朱田的作品曾在英国伦敦V&A博物馆、苏格兰国家美术馆、法国巴黎东京宫、荷兰乌特勒支中央博物馆等展览。她是2015年英国Catlin艺术奖的获得者,并在2014年获得英国Broomhill国家雕塑奖,2009年被评选为英国新锐声音艺术家。
China born, London-based artist Zhu Tian received an MA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art in London, the UK (2014), an MA in Sound Design from Bournemouth University in Bournemouth, the UK (2007), and a BA in Economics from the University of Nottingham in Nottingham, the UK (2006). Moving effortlessly from object intervention to digital to performance to set piece installation, she presents works embodying discourse around the theme of power relations, freedom and individualism. Concerned by the automated routines of robotic individuals in today’s society, Zhu creates pieces which she describes as “hiccups – to interrupt and disturb.” Her work combines light humour with a sharp sense of critique, and is known for being ‘compelling and unsettling’.
Zhu has exhibited internationally at such venues as the V&A Museum in London, the UK, the National Gallery of Scotland in Edinburg, the UK, the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, France and the Central Museum in Utrecht, Netherlands. She was the winner of the Catlin Art Prize (UK) in 2015, the Broomhill National Sculpture Prize (UK) in 2014, and was selected as the Emerging Sound Artist in the UK in 2009.
