Xiangqian’s Museum I. 2010
Colour video with sound (14:31 min)
Hu’s art is inspired by current events and his immediate surroundings. Xiangqian’s Museum is a fictional institution founded by the artist, comprising an ongoing collection of works that he has encountered or heard about. While collections are usually composed of physical objects, the artworks in Xiangqian’s Museum are represented through the artist’s body, conveyed to an audience by way of performance: using language and movement, Hu attempts to describe the works in his museum. This video shows a 2010 performance at Taikang Space in Beijing, China.
