Yin Xiuzhen is one of the most prominent Chinese artists of her generation. She began her career in the early nineties after 1989 towards painting studies at the Capital Normal University in Beijing. Since then she has shown her work in numerous exhibitions in and outside China. Yin Xiuzhen is best known for her installations made from used clothing.
Chinese artist Yin Xuizhen has a wonderful exhibition at the Groninger Museum. Beautiful work of used clothing. Clothing symbolizes the person you are and the time when the clothing was worn. In short, memories.
Due to the fast growing economies of China and the changes it brings memories disappear quickly. This tries to prevent typical Chinese symbols linking to "own" old clothes.
