段英梅是一个充满好奇心的观察家，她对生活的方方面面都提出问题以更好的学习和自我发展。在过去的十二年里，她将全部精力和创造力集中于创作行为艺术和研究媒介物上。

段英梅的许多行为艺术作品都在探索人类的本能，如恐惧和欲望。各种不同类型的主题都启迪着她的灵感并且反映在她的作品里，如审问社会、质疑传统观念和人类行为。

在她的艺术作品里，她会交叉使用媒介，也常常把声音、影像和道具糅合在一起。她经常即兴表演行为艺术作为情景实验。同时，她也可以全情投入、不忽视任何一个细节地编排艺术表演。

除了她的个人表演外，段英梅还喜欢与来自不同文化背景、不同年龄、不同领域的人进行合作，目前她已经完成了逾50场的合作演出。她的作品仍在不断进步，历久弥新。

出生在中国的段英梅也是中国前卫艺术的一部分。作为画家，她曾在传奇的艺术区——北京东村生活过多年。1995年她参与了中国最著名的现代艺术之一的《为无名山增加一米》的表演。2000年到2004年间，她在德国布劳恩史威西艺术学院学习，师从行为艺术家玛丽娜-阿布拉莫维奇，并在她的影响下，成为了一名纯粹的行为艺术家。求学期间她还曾与电影人、行为艺术家克里斯托弗·施灵格斯夫共事过一年。

段英梅通过她精彩绝伦、引人深思和感情丰富的行为艺术，获得了诸多如讲座、工作坊、艺术节、艺术家驻留、国内外展出等机会，声名大作，享誉海内外。

雷吉纳·弗兰克，德国

在里本斯生活和工作。

在过去的十年里，雷吉纳·弗兰克以“艺术家在场”为题，在世界各地的博物馆和公共场所展示了她的道具。她的视觉语言通过文本和织物的方式，向人们揭示了艺术家探索个人内心世界，寻找内外联系的思考过程，涉及政治、文化、精神等领域。她的作品着力于表现虚实之间，模拟形式和数字形式之间的张力。

无处无物不在积累数据。但记录、解读这些数据的极少。互联网上的OSX游戏有点这种味道，但当然远远不止于此。数据的累积决定了近期全球灾难的地理分布。雷吉纳·弗兰克采集了这些数据，并将其表现在她的衣袖上，乃至全身。雷吉纳设计了几款巨大铺张的圆裙包裹她雕塑般的身体，并根据不同演出的需要，辅以缝纫、转写、扫刷、进食和揉捏等动作。这些数据都是大众可以轻易获取并知晓的，但随着构成我们宇宙的种种政治的、种族的、地质的、气象的信息不断暴增，人们已经越来越难以体会这些数据所带来的效果。雷吉纳坚持不懈的现身说法，通过夸张的穿着来使这些数据一目了然。

-- 罗利·宛克斯曼，60字/分评论，第13届德国卡塞尔文献展

iLand是一种公开冥想和治疗仪式，或者说活着的静物。当弗兰克静坐时，她会把一些动作用慢800倍甚至1600倍的速度去演绎。坐在岛一样的裙子中间，她悠然起舞。这个大裙子是由织物拼接而成的，上面是一幅幅反映环境问题的风景画。

Regina FRANK,Germany

Lives and works in Lisabon.

Regina Frank has been exhibiting her installationsinternationally under the title “The Artist Is Present” for thepast decade in museums and public spaces. The performer’s visuallanguage, spoken mainly through text and textiles, reveals ameditative process of exploring inner and outer networks as well aspolitical, cultural and spiritual issues. Her works encompass afield of tension between virtual and real, analog anddigital.

Dataaccumulates everywhere in everything, but precious little of it isunderstood or recorded. This is by no meanssimply the X’s and O’s of the Internet, though it is that too.(…) Data determines the geographical pattern of recentglobal disasters. Regina Frank takes this information and wears iton her sleeve, or rather on her entire body and beyond, in theshape of immense circular dresses that spread out around hersculptural torso, active with the labor of stitching, transcribing,brushing, eating or kneading, depending on theperformance.

None of thisdata is unknown or inaccessible, but amid the escalatingonslaught of political, ethical, geological andclimatological information that comprises our universe, it becomesincreasingly difficult to remember just how real and present areits effects. Draped on her own insistently present body, ReginaFrank’s dresses make this palpably visible.

— Lori Waxman 60 Word/Min for Documenta 13, Kassel,Germany

iLand are public meditations and healing rituals or livingstill-lives. As Frank sits in Silence her some of her movements areso slow that they look normal only when speeded up 800 to1600 times. Surrounded by a large round dress like an island sheperforms a set of rituals like a dance. Her skirt is a textilecollage depicting landscapes of major environmentalissues.
