    Critical Issues Lecture: Catalina Ouyang

    Join the Henry and the University of Washington's School of Art + Art History + Design for the 2022 Critical Issues Lecture Series! Taking place on Fridays during Winter quarter, the series is held online and open to all. Attend weekly sessions alongside degree-seeking students to learn about contemporary art and ideas directly from the makers. 

    ABOUT THE ARTIST

    Catalina Ouyang's work engages object-making, interdisciplinary environments, and time-based projects to indicate counternarratives around representation and self-definition. Ouyang's work addresses how a subject orients in physical and sociopolitical space: what histories and discourses are inscribed on the body, how the body exists in contingency with architecture and bureaucratic structures. Through both expansion and fragmentation, Ouyang proposes the body as a politicized landscape subject to partition. Working gnostically with materials, ideas, and stories that over years they build relationships with, Ouyang also attends to critical reimaging of historical formation wherein monstrosity, animality, and toxicity act as ciphers for the psycho-affective alienation of the minor subject. Recent solo exhibitions include No Place Gallery, Columbus, US; Lyles & King, New York, US; Real Art Ways, Hartford, US; Knockdown Center, Queens, US; and Make Room, Los Angeles, US, with a solo exhibition forthcoming at Night Gallery, Los Angeles, US. Ouyang’s work has been included in group exhibitions at Housing, New York, US; Sculpture Center, Queens, US (curated by Katherine Simóne Reynolds); Nicodim, Los Angeles, US; François Ghebaly, Los Angeles, US (curated by Kelly Akashi); BRIC, Brooklyn, US; Helena Anrather, New York, US; Asia Art Center, Taipei; and many more. Previous residencies include the Atlantic Center for the Arts, Smack Mellon, and Shandaken: Storm King. Their work will be included in group exhibitions at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum and Jeffrey Deitch Gallery. Ouyang received an MFA from Yale University and is based in New York City. They are represented by Lyles & King, New York, and Make Room, Los Angeles.
