Gao Shiqiang

Master's and doctoral supervisor at the China Academy of Art, professor, vice chairman of the Zhejiang Photography Association, and deputy director of the Experimental Art Committee of the China Artists Association.

Since the mid-1990s, I have been engaged in the creation and research of situational sculptures, installations, and experimental video works. In the early 2000s, my focus gradually shifted to the field of moving images in both research and teaching. In recent years, I have dedicated myself to exploring the spiritual essence of traditional Chinese landscape art and integrating this direction into the study and creation of spatial visual narratives.

Gao Shiqiang's experimental image creation began in the 1990s and became active on contemporary art stages both domestically and internationally in the late 20th century and early 21st century.

Since 2017, Gao Shiqiang and his landscape image creation team have been committed to walking and creating between mountains and rivers every year. In 2020, when planning the 6th Cross Media Art Festival "Near Future: Possible Life", he explicitly proposed the creative concept of "from the spirit of mountains and waters to the near future" - advocating the participation of Chinese imagination in the global conception and game of the near future landscape. In August 2025, Gao Shiqiang and the Landscape Image Creation Collective presented a large-scale spatial image installation exhibition titled "Landscape Action" at the China Academy of Fine Arts Art Museum in Hangzhou, which has attracted widespread attention and huge response from the art world at home and abroad.

This lecture will revolve around the creative practice of artist Gao Shiqiang. As an artist, educator, and curator, his creative career has gone through different stages such as experimental imaging exploration, spatial imaging breakthroughs, landscape imaging, and landscape theater practice. The lecture will share his creative responses to the changes of the times and daily experiences in the long process of creation, and ultimately anchor his personal creative mission at the intersection of "landscape" and "near future" through continuous media persistence.
