Xu Zhen

XU ZHEN® is one of China’s most significant artists and activists. His recent work centres on sculptural installations, video and performances that challenge cultural assumptions, question social taboos and comment on the idea of art as a commodity.

The exhibition includes monumental sculpture European Thousand-Armed Classical Sculpture 2014 and celebrates the international debut of "Hello" 2018–19 – a Corinthian column-like snake that watches and follows visitors as they move through the gallery.
