This online exhibition presents sculptures and reliefs by Beijing-based artist Yin Xiuzhen, a pioneer of Chinese performance and installation art since the early 1990s.

Yin uses everyday objects that, by virtue of their proximity to the bodies and daily lives of countless individuals, can act as poignant carriers of memories. Harnessing the affective and mnemonic power of such materials, especially secondhand clothes, her art registers collective experiences too often left out of national histories while pointing to disquieting, interconnected phenomena of global import: breakneck urbanization; unchecked environmental destruction; and globalization’s erasure of difference, among them. As with David before Goliath, Yin’s art confronts these challenges, turning its worn garments and brittle porcelain into potent conduits for what the artist calls “a spirit of invincibility.”
