Gene Gallery represented artist Gao Xiaoyi is included in the exhibition “Vitalisms” at Institute of Contemporary Arts at NYU Shanghai (hereinafter referred to as ICA) , which is from March 20, 2025 to June 14, 2025.
“Vitalisms” is an exhibition-as-experiment initiating a long-term research and education project on the “historicity” and “value” of contemporary painting in China. By gathering a group of artists, born in the 1980s and 90s in China and mostly educated in Chinese art academies, the research focuses on figurative paintings made in the past five years (i.e., since 2020), and experiments with their presentation in a shared space and time.
The exhibition “Vitalisms” and related events are presented as the second season of the ICA‘s artistic research program “Lightless Fires” (2024–26), exploring fermentation as a figure and technique of collective memory, autonomous archiving, and writing history.
“Vitalisms” is organized by Michelle Yeonho Hyun with BAO Yang, with additional support by ZHANG Yiying and PENG Linru.
Sincere thanks to ICA, Michelle, and whole entire team for their dedication and support!

弥金画廊代理艺术家高晓依的绘画作品正于上海纽约大学当代艺术中心(以下简称为上纽ICA)群展“生力”中展出,展期自2025年3月20日至2025年6月14日。
“生力”是一次实验性的展览,也是一个长期性研究与教育项目的开端,它探讨的是中国当代绘画中的“历史性”与“价值”。参展艺术家均出生于1980和1990年代的中国,ta们中的大多数也在中国接受教育。本次展览通过聚焦于ta们在过去五年(即2020年以后)创作的具象画作,以此在共享空间和时间中对其绘画展示进行实验性研究。
本次展览“生力”及相关活动为上纽ICA艺术研究项目“无光之火”的第二季内容。“无光之火”(2024—26)将发酵视为一种比喻与方法,以此探索集体记忆、自发存档和历史书写。
展览“生力”由玄莲昊和包旸组织,张奕颖和彭琳茹共同协助完成。
在此感谢上纽ICA、Michelle以及整个团队为本次展览的付出与支持!
