        • Biography

           

           M.C. Julie Yu (b. Taipei, Taiwan, 1989), is an interdisciplinary artist who is currently based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. She holds a BFA in Theatre Directing from Taipei National University of Arts, Taipei, Taiwan (2013) and an MA in Fine art, HKU University of the Arts Utrecht (2020). Her works include a wide variety of media, such as video, music, print, exercise, performance, workshops, and installation

           

          Yu's artistic practices revolve around the senses of othering that are experienced while situating in-between domains, specifically based on the experience as a migrant and interdisciplinary worker under the postcolonial and capitalist cultural phenomena. She reflects on these experiences through various sub-culture inspirations and addresses the reflection with a good dose of humor. This approach is further extended to various long-term collaborative projects among art, performance and social movements fields, as attempts to challenge the boundaries among multiple cultural disciplines.

          Her cross-disciplinary works involve exercises, events, performance, and multi-media. Travelogues with Prompts is her recent body of work that shares its name between a promptbook, a video, a performance and an installation, which has been exhibited in BAK, basis voor actuele kunst, Utrecht (2020), Moira Expo, Utrecht (2021) and published/launched via Stichting Simulacrum, Amsterdam, (2021). With the residency- Common Grounds, Casco Art Institute: Working for the Commons, Utrecht, she started developing a new work, Failure to Care, researching the hidden concern within the collective working.

           

          She co-initiated various long-term collaborations--- the initiative, @No.More.Later (2020-ongoing); the street performance, Fear Out (2020-ongoing); and the walking events/ digital installation, Folding Space (2019–ongoing). She is furthermore part of the migrant street-theatre group in Utrecht (2019-ongoing) and a member of the Basic Activist Kitchen, that were initiated by artist Jeanne van Heeswijk at BAK, basis voor actuele kunst, Utrecht (2019-ongoing).
