Press Release

Magician Space is pleased to participate in Paris Internationale 2023, presenting Hu Yinping’s solo exhibition Hu Xiaofang – Snow-White Dove.

Applying the logic of production and trade which is inherent in corporate systems and societies, Hu Yinping, under the brand name ‘Xiaofang’ and ‘Hu Xiaofang’, places bulk orders of woolen textiles made by domestic women who live in a small village of her hometown. Her practices, to some extent, have changed the local economic and lifestyle structure of the entire town. In phase ‘Snow-white Doves’ (2017–2019), Hu Yinping, by releasing a public service announcement of acquiring woolen bikinis, evoked a vivid imagination of beach and sea among elder women who live in the landlocked Sichuan Basin, allowing their consciousness to be unfettered from the limitations of physical distance.

About the Artist

Hu Yinping was born in Sichuan in 1983, and currently lives and works in Beijing. Despite earning her MFA at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2010, her works are not limited to the materiality of sculpture. Instead, she channels chance meetings and fortuitous situations into insightful scenarios. Hu Yinping defines her art as a state between “event” and “work”, implying a deep connection between artistic practice and real life. Hu often labels the medium of her works as “event” and these works usually last for a period of time or are even ongoing. Such practices can be traced back to the three art groups she initiated after obtaining her MFA.
