Xu Zhen

[1] Xu Zhen's body of work, which includes photography, installation art and video, entails theatrical humour and social critique.

[2] Xu Zhen's earlier representative individual works include the video, Rainbow (1998), where an abstracted hand beats a man 's back until it burns red.

[4] The video, Shouting (1998), captures the fright and bewilderment of faces turned backwards on the crowded streets of Shanghai, after Xu Zhen suddenly bursts out screaming.

[5] The installation ShanghART Supermarket (2007) recreates a convenience store on-site: the shelves are crammed full of empty products, while the items, sold at their ordinarily marked prices, only have the external shells of their packaging.

[11] Located in M50 Shanghai contemporary art district, MadeIn Gallery aims to be a platform for creativity in China, giving access to the latest artworks of established artists as well as younger and lesser-known talents.
