Biography
Wu Jiaru is a multidisciplinary artist who works across painting, installation, and moving image. Her work delves into mythology, cultural traditions, historical memory, and contemporary realities. Through experimenting from a micro-narrative perspective, she seeks to reflect on the unspoken historical assumptions within existing norms, and investigates how a technology-driven society combines artistic innovation to achieve self-archiving, aiming to discover new facets of writing history as individuals within a vast narrative.
Wu Jiaru graduated from Tsinghua University in 2014 with a dual degree in Art and English. She received her master degree in Creative Media from City University of Hong Kong in 2017. Her recent exhibitions include solo show Emotional Device at P21 in Seoul (2023) and Secrets with an Abundance of Foreign Lines at Flowers Projects in New York (2023); and group exhibitions Traces And Threads at König in Seoul(2024) and Myth Makers – Spectrosynthesis III at Tai Kwun (2023). Wu was awarded the Asian Cultural Council New York Fellowship in 2022, and her works are collected by Burger Collection, M+ Museum, among others.
