上海m97画廊很荣幸能承办这次展览-《神经质》摄影个展, 展出艺术家杨勇最近的作品。展览开始于2011年9月6日，m97 画廊将于9月6日（星期二）下午5:00至8:00在画廊为艺术家举办开幕酒会。

是次展览包括近3年来，跨越深圳，上海和北京的照片， 全都首次在m97画廊作展出。

杨勇持续拍摄城市青年，是为了记下他那一 代，20 世纪70年代和80年代出生的中国青年，其不断变化的时代精神。作为半个记录者，半个导演，杨勇的作品同时捕获了亲切感和隔离感。主要由女性朋友和模特出演的作品，充斥着焦虑，不耐烦的感觉， 一种自觉性。他的主题，唤起中国当代社会人们在个人性的斗争上的一丝紧张，和对物质进步无法感到满意一种渴望。

杨勇（生于1975年）在他家乡四川的美术学院学习油画，毕业后不久就开始尝试录像和摄影。2003年，杨勇的作品在威尼斯双年展中国馆展出，以及在“阿尔德阿尔勒节”被授予最佳新人奖。2004年，他被选中参加在纽约国际摄影中心，开创性的展览－“过去和未来之间：中国的新摄影和录像”。他的作品往往被比喻成南戈尔丁，辛迪舍曼和沃尔夫冈体曼希。杨勇的作品已在世界各地展示和被收集。

m97 Gallery Shanghai is pleased to present “ON EDGE” a solo exhibition of recent photography works by artist YANG YONG. The exhibition begins on September 6, 2011, and m97 Gallery will hold an opening reception for the artist on Tuesday September 6 from 5:00 to 8:00pm in the gallery.

The exhibition comprises photographs spanning the last 3 years, from Shenzhen, Shanghai and Beijing, shown at m97 for the first time. Yang Yong’s continued focus of photographing urban youth aims to document the ever-changing zeitgeist of his generation, China’s youth born in the 1970’s and 80’s. Part documentarian, part director, Yang Yong creates works that capture both intimacy and staged isolation. Predominantly populated by female friends and models, Yang’s works encapsulate a self-conscious, often anxious or impatient feeling. His subjects evoke a tension found in Chinese contemporary society in its struggle towards individuality with also a longing not able to be satisfied by material growth and progress alone.

Yang Yong (b. 1975) studied oil painting in the Art Institute of his native Sichuan and soon after graduating started experimenting with video and photography. In 2003, Yang Yong’s works were exhibited at the Venice Biennale China Pavilion, as well as at Les Rencontres d’Arles Festival, where he was awarded the best new artist prize. In 2004, he was selected to participate in the seminal exhibition “Between Past and Future: New Photography and Video From China” at the International Center of Photography in New York. His works have often been likened to those of Nan Goldin, Cindy Sherman and Wolfgang Tillmans. Yang Yong’s works have been exhibited and collected worldwide.
