Abstract
Jia 嘉 (b. 1979) is an artist who lives and works in Berlin. She was born in Beijing in the People’s Republic of China where she studied architecture, performance and literature. In this conversation Jia reflects on her development as an artist, the problems of translating artistic practice between differing social and cultural contexts and the intended critical significance of her work, which combines aspects of contemporary western(ized) art with interpretations of traditional Chinese thought and practice.

Jia’s translation from Liang Qichao 留学之害 liu xue zhi hai (The Disadvantages of Foreign Study) (1900), quoted by Zhang Yongle 章永乐 ]. 昔者梁任公游历欧美, 正告留学生云:今日之留学, 为的是未来不需留学。吾心深然之。但愿下辈人成长之时, 已有成熟的学术传统可供继承, 而不需负笈万里, 受这零碎之苦。.
