Lin Yilin (Chinese: 林一林; born 1964) is a Chinese performance artist.
Biographyedit
Lin was born in Guangzhou, Guangdong, China in 1964. He completed his undergraduate education at Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts and graduated in 1987. Lin's work is typically site-specific and especially crafted for the place of its performance.[1][2]
Lin was a core member and co-founder of the Big Tail Elephant Group, a Guangzhou-based performance and intervention based artist collective with an interest in urban development.[3] His work from this time aims to address the rapid urbanization and economic growth seen in China during the 1990s. Lin used bricks as a motif and sculptural object to further call out these themes.[4] One of his most notable works from this period is Safely Maneuvering across Linhe Road (1995) in which Lin moved a wall of concrete blocks across a busy street in Guangzhou, interrupting the flow of traffic.[1]
In 2001, Lin moved to New York City. As a result his interest in globalization has expanded beyond China. His practice continues to be centered on performance. His 2018 three-part work Monad, commissioned for the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum's permanent collection, through VR, allows viewers to inhabit NBA player Jeremy Lin. Lin attributes Jeremy Lin as being a "key figure in representations of race."[5]
Lin now divides his time between New York and Beijing.[1]
