YI ZHOU
There are few mediums that Chinese artist Yi Zhou hasn’t worked in. Her broad oeuvre includes digital animation, drawings, paintings and sculptures. She’s also tackled 3-D video, which was part of Zhou’s recent solo show called “Hegemony or Survival” at Shanghai’s Contrasts Gallery. Up next, she will exhibit sculptures, drawings and two films as part of “The Earbridge and The Greatness,” which runs at the Contrasts Gallery from June 19 through July 29. (Influential Italian conductor Ennio Morricone composed music for “The Greatness,” and the lead in “The Ear” is played by Pharrell Williams.) Then, from June 24, Zhou will participate in the “Giorni Felici” exhibition in Milan’s Fondazione Testori, where she will show “My Heart Laid Bare,” featuring Charlotte Gainsbourg. This fall, Zhou’s solo “I Am Your Simulacrum” will open in London’s 20 Hoxton Square, and she will take part in the Shanghai Biennale, which starts Oct. 23.
But Zhou isn’t hot just because of all the high-profile projects she’s lined up. She’s also become a front-row fixture at shows like Chanel and Alexis Mabille. — Jennifer Weil
