This biography of a Chinese artist, whose primary claim to fame appears to be a single somewhat provocative performative piece, is light on independent reliable sources. The sole source that I would count in this category, artasiapacific.com, has two lines on the subject in a fairly substantial article. BD2412 T 04:50, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
The article notes: "Minimalist, conceptual, and deliberately provocative, Cao’s work reflects upon and exploits the physicality of her materials, from the conventional – marble, stretched linen and canvas – to unexpected, even transgressive, substances including the artist’s own hair, breastmilk and urine, and their various significations. Cao graduated from the academically rigorous Sculpture Department of Beijing’s Central Academy of Fine Arts and cites Sui Jianguo and Zhan Wang as influential teachers and mentors. ... Cao Yu’s uncompromising chutzpah in confronting the masculinist history of modern and contemporary sculpture and performance art – so much testosterone! – echoes the similarly audacious work of a Chinese performance and transdisciplinary artist of the previous generation."
The article notes from Google Translate: "Back in the summer of 2016, when you entered the graduate exhibition of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, you would see the work "Spring" by the artist Cao Yu. Pregnant during college, and turned breastfeeding into a work of art - many people know Cao Yu, it is from "Spring". ... Accompanied by the controversy, Cao Yu became famous almost overnight, and she soon received offers from international galleries after being "born out of nowhere"."
The article further notes from Google Translate: "Five years have passed, and Cao Yu's creation is still continuing with an astonishingly high output. She tattooed a tiger's head on a bull's heart that was still warm and beating, and held it in front of her "androgynous" body to shoot "Things in the Chest"; she sat on an old sink, her androgynous image, in a black suit, The flat chest, masculine momentum, and the "magic touch" in the work - the water spraying out of the rusty faucet all break the established gender gaze, blur the boundaries between fashion and art, and the audience is caught by the sharp eyes What you are staring at, this is "Dragon Head"."
The article notes from Google Translate: "Cao Yu always hits the pain points in the society with a single blow. She pokes them, penetrates human nature, and always forms a strong public opinion. She never presents poetry and freshness in front of you, the kind of violence, fierceness, and rebellion are the main themes. Entering the exhibition hall, you will be enveloped by Cao Yu’s provocation and accuracy."
The article notes: "Cao Yu continues to expand her oeuvre by presenting a new series of photographic works entitled Femme Fatale, which gave its title to the exhibition and is the artist's first attempt at photography. The experimental nature of Cao's exhibitions stems from I Have an Hourglass Waist - the artist's first solo exhibition at the gallery's Beijing outpost. From video to sculpture, installation to work on canvas, and now photography, her multidisciplinary practice is crucial in challenging the perception of her surroundings, experiences and her role as an artist. Cao’s interpretation is jarring and contemplative for both a new and familiar audience."
The article notes from Google Translate: "There is also Cao Yu, born in 1988. The artist from Beijing has received numerous awards in China, and she has just been listed as China's most influential contemporary artist in a WeChat index. Cao Yu works with installation, video, photography and performance and is always good for an unusual action. At her first exhibition at the Urs Meile gallery in Beijing, she blocked a passageway with an installation of black bras that people had to step on to get in."
With her distinctive interdisciplinary practice,sharp and bold artistic language, she is recognized as the leading figure of Chinese new generation female artists, one of the most influential young artists in China.[citation needed]. And perhaps too much emphasis on her graduate show piece Fountain. It has been heavily edited by single purpose accounts and a blocked sock, so those edits need scrutiny. I suggest pruning it back to a short article that only includes content that is appropriately sourced. Netherzone ( talk) 20:54, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
