SI & Culture Pass | Artist Talk: Xinyi Cheng 对话艺术家程心怡
Fri | 1PM
Swiss Institute is delighted to present an artist talk by Xinyi Cheng in collaboration with Culture Pass, an initiative led by the Brooklyn Public Library, the Queens Public Library and the New York Public Library. The program, which will be conducted in Mandarin Chinese, uses the artist’s studios and living spaces from the past decade as prompts to consider the importance of place and social relationships in her practice as a painter. Though often set in color-soaked, indeterminate environs, Cheng’s paintings frequently depict the intimate gestures and actions of friends captured in spontaneous snapshots made by the artist herself. Transposed from realms of domesticity, leisure and labor, these tender instances assume a surreal grace within Cheng’s atmospheric settings. Born in Wuhan, China and currently living in Paris, Cheng will present a talk that draws from the quotidian to ponder the sublime.
This program will be held on Zoom, to register, please click here.

Swiss Institute很荣幸与由布鲁克林公共图书馆、 皇后区公共图书馆和纽约公共图书馆发起的Culture Pass项目联合推出艺术家程心怡的讲座。该讲座将使用普通话，以艺术家过去十年的工作室和生活空间为线索，讨论地方和社会关系在程心怡的绘画实践中的重要意义。虽然程心怡的画作中的场景常常置于色彩浸染、模糊不明的环境，画作描绘的却多是艺术家自己在摄影快照捕捉的好友间的亲密举动。 这些从居家、闲暇和家务的空间中调取出的温柔瞬间，为艺术家画作中萦绕的氛围蒙上了一层超越现实的魅力。程心怡出生于中国武汉，现居巴黎，此次讲座她将分享她在日常生活中体会到的崇高时刻。
