楊衍畇/策展人,藝術史學者,藝評人

長期專注於超現實主義的研究，著迷於達利的「偏執狂批判」，楊衍畇極為推崇跨領域藝術的實驗精神與無限創意。她曾於2010年以論文〈瘋狂敘事‧建構神話－論達利以「偏執狂批判」創造之「晚禱神話」〉獲得世安美學論文獎，同年於英國舉辦的國際超現實主義研討會中發表〈論Jan Svankmajer電影「愛麗絲夢遊仙境」中兒童想像力之虐戀特質〉。憂心媒體過度影響到我們的精神生活，她曾在2011年於台北當代藝術館策劃製作「躁鬱症」影－音互動實驗表演。

1997年取得於俄羅斯聖彼得堡大學藝術史碩士，2009年獲得國立臺灣師範大學美術研究所博士，期間她為藝術經紀公司、文化基金會、與國際書展單位策劃各類型的展演活動。自 2011年起，她展開長程的策展研究計畫「俄羅斯與東歐當代藝術之後現代情境研究」，國際合作單位包括莫斯科當代藝術中心(俄羅斯) 、「聖彼得堡博物館之夜」執行委員會（俄羅斯）、布達佩斯路德威希當代藝術館國際當代藝術交流機構（匈牙利）、科隆Opekta 藝術工作室(德國)、巴爾幹地區當代藝術中心，陸續由國內的當代藝術基金會與國家文藝基金會支持贊助。該計畫將會在未來以主題策展與出版專文實踐。

2013年香港世界文化藝術節以「東歐芳華」為主題策畫「東+歐:東歐當代藝術展」，受邀於香港大會堂參與「想像東歐」國際座談會(座談講者包括香港策展人梁美萍、拉脫維亞當代藝術中心總監Solvita Krese、波蘭藝術家Łukasz Surowiec 、保加利亞藝術家Neno Belchev、保加利亞藝術家Pavlina Mladenova )，在座談會中分享兩年來的研究觀察。2011年迄今，陸續於「典藏投資」、「藝術收藏+設計」發表多篇以俄羅斯與東歐當代藝術為議題的評論與觀察專文，香港中文大學「二十一世紀」雙月刊邀稿撰文「建構烏托邦的國家神話：二十世紀俄羅斯藝術發展」，於2014年2月號發表。

除策畫反思科技文明的「末日感性：臺灣新媒體藝術展」(2013年波蘭媒體雙年展、2015年台北市立美術館)，楊衍畇特別關注當代視覺文化的影響力，策畫各類創意錄像展覽，2014年於台北當代藝術館策劃「危奇觀」(Imagining Crisis)國際創意影像展，已國際巡迴至波蘭、塞爾維亞、保加利亞、哥倫比亞等國當代藝術中心展出，2015-2016連續兩年榮獲世界歷史悠久的國際藝術影展－義大利阿索洛國際藝術影展(Asolo Art Film Festival)之邀，策劃「危奇觀」與 “TAIWAN VIDEA”台灣前衛影像展(2015)，2016年該藝術影展主題展"生態作為動詞"(Eco as a Verb)與“TAIWAN VIDEA2.0:文化秘遇”。2017年5月, 兩項錄像主題展更榮獲俄羅斯“普希金10號”當代藝術中心與俄羅斯反傳統藝術美術館之邀參加2017聖彼得堡博物館之夜。此外，策展人楊衍畇獲影展主辦單位邀請為這兩屆影展國際評審，並由評審團遴選為第34屆義大利阿索洛國際藝術影展國際評審團主席(2015)。楊衍畇博士現職為國立台灣藝術大學雕塑系兼任助理教授。
