Born in Shanghai, graduated from Sculpture Department, Fine Arts College of Shanghai University in 2011 with a MFA degree. She now lives and works in the same city where she was born and raised up. Her practice mainly deals with sculptures and installations, and also involves performance and videos. Paying much attention to nature and the repetitive process of labor, her work endeavors to explore the relationship between time and nature, looking at the vital yet mysterious connection between body/spirit and the world. To Yu Ji, being an artist is more of a spiritual journey of transforming things into life experience rather than a mere career title. Yu Ji’s works have been shown at He Xiangning Art Museum (Shenzhen), Duolun MoMA (Shanghai), YUZ Museum (Shanghai), Palais de Tokyo (France), and many art institutes in Singapore, Taipei, Weimar (Germany) and Vilnius (Lithuania). In 2008, she co-founded “am art space”, one of the few rare active non -profit experimental art spaces in Shanghai.
