About me
During the time as a student, I have earned substantial art academic knowledge, art business experiences. I have over-ten-year aesthetic cultivation. At the moment of working at Hai Gallery, the position brought me to have a taste of Asian artworks and enriched my aesthetic experiences in different directions. Being a personal assistant equipped my PR skills and broadened my horizon about Eastern and Western commercial art worlds. It also gave me a chance to see the vicissitudinous art markets. When I was working with the team of Tazveer, I had chances to involve an exhibition preparation. Tazveer led me to experience the sophisticated procedure of curating an exhibition, organising artworks in space and designing the advertisements. I also have almost two-years teaching experiences. I mainly taught art, but I did assist students who fell behind at school achievement. I am patient to children and sensitive to their behaviours. Moreover, I am currently freelance model and translator. I have been working as a freelance for a couple year. I have been a Freelance translator for a couple year. I mainly translate academic proposal, CV, covering letter, person letter, and other general articles. My translation areas are arts, fashion design, creative industries, marketing, I have a high-quality Mandarin ability with an outstanding exam result of Entry Exam. The score was 14 band out of 15 in 2009 in Taiwan. I am a native Mandarin speaker and I manage both Simplified and Traditional Mandarins well. I do wish you understand that Simplified and Traditional Mandarin are different although they look like similar. Without clearly understanding the differences, some usage of words and phrases will cause a misunderstanding and cultural conflicts in your translated article. I have a multicultural background. I understand the differences between these two languages and can operate them wisely. Moreover, I have been written several articles and thesis in English. Due to school's demanding, my English training was intensive. I believe that my outstanding language ability can give you the best service. I am a disciplined and ambitious person who always try my best to bring high quality for my works and clients. I believe I will bring the good enthusiastically ethic, ambition and quality to work with you.
Projects
  • XVIII QKings?
    XVIII QKings?Zamil Ibn Zubair has given himself 18 days to put together his very first exhibition. Most sane people, would given themselves at least six months, but where’s the fun in that? His first exhibition is called XVIII QKings. Featuring 18 pieces, he shows the power of colour and shape as a storyteller. Each piece shows moods, or perhaps rather, the struggle we often have with them.
  • “The Wood From The Trees”
    “The Wood From The Trees”A search for cultural and personal identity can be found in the work of both these contemporary Chinese Photographers and it is a quest made fascinating by the differences between their ages, backgrounds and inspiration. Born in 1967 in the ancient city of Kaifeng in Henan Province, Han Lei comes from a family that encouraged him to pursue a career in art long before there was any market for it in China. Since then he has become a well-established figure in Chinese Art circles and has exhibited in many prestigious venues. In contrast, Chen Yidan , born in Xian in the early 1980’s, settled in France at the age of 18 to study Art, since when she has also travelled widely around Europe and North Africa and worked in a remarkable variety of jobs from teaching to farming. While Han Lei’s Art features sculpture, installation and painting, it is his photography that most captures a sense of the “particularity” of his subject matter: the specific individuality of his portraits and the way they reflect his own very specific way of making sense of the world. It is an attention to certain details that draws him into a portrait but also repels him…As he says: “I love the process of taking the photograph, but afterwards if I look at the pictures too much, they make me feel very uncomfortable”…And this disquiet is felt by the viewer too. In Chen Yidan’s arresting series of “Lakeside” photographs, the masks worn by her subjects conversely convey a sense that it is not our differences that distinguish our identities but rather the similarities that we recognise in each other, our common sense of loss and loneliness for our youth. The rather unsettling lakeside scenes she creates featuring “metaphysical existences” rather than real people invite us to recognise our common experience and yet are curiously alienating too. For Han Lei, it is the experiences we acquire that make us different, for Chen Yidan our shared experiences make us the same… but both artists affect us by the sense of unease we feel between attraction and alienation, as if suspended or “falling” between two states. Perhaps this is where Identity truly lies and why we turn to art to help us find it.
