Summary:

The richly illustrated catalogue presents an in-depth exploration of Yu Ji's practice to date spanning sculpture, installation, performance and video using Rubble, Dribbling Water, and Wasted Mud. Motivated by an acute sensitivity to materials, Yu Ji's work explores a tension between physical matter and energy. Recurring materials used in her work, such as cement, wood, metal, plastic and organic matter all have their distinctive characteristics, tactility and temperatures. In her installations, these materials oppose, rub and strike against one another; proposing by their proximity how they might merge, combine or absorb one into the other. Influenced by research conducted during a residency at our exhibition partners Delfina Foundation, in 2019, Yu Ji's new commission sees London as a site to explore the body in relation to our built and natural environments. Taking her experience of the city's canals and rivers as a starting point, Yu Ji's installation acts as a living sculpture, where, through the use of water, Yu Ji alters the gallery's seemingly fixed structure. Exhibition: Chisenhale Gallery, London, UK (22.05. - 18.07.2021).
