Shen Xin, Provocation of the Nightingale, 2017, four-channel video installation, 23’, 10’34”, 20’39”, 20’39”

Shen Xin’s major work Provocation of the Nightingale in 2017 explores the artist’s acute observation of collective memory and personal relationships through a multi-screen video installation. At its heart, the work is a narrative focused on systems of belief and power, with a kaleidoscope-like effect of shifting perspectives taken from filmed documentary portraits, recorded performances and interviews. SHEN XIN SHORTLISTED FOR BMW ART JOURNEY AWARDS, DISCOVERIES SECTOR, ART BASEL HONG KONG Courtesy of the BMW Group During this year’s Art Basel in Hong Kong, the joint initiative of Art Basel and BMW to recognize and support emerging artists worldwide was continued with the announcement of the shortlist for the next BMW Art Journey. Nominated artists are Clarissa Tossin (born 1973, lives and works in Los Angeles), Lu Yang (born 1984, based in Shanghai) and Shen Xin (1990, lives and works in London). Shen Xin Solo Project "Commerce des Esprits", Art Basel Hong Kong, MadeIn Gallery Booth View Commerce des Esprits is a four channel video installation presenting a scripted monologue through animation and text. Based on the research of works by French sinologists on Zhuangzi (370 BC-287 BC), Shen Xin translates the perspectives and productivities of comparative philosophy into an event which narrates an unconscious state. Two animation channels traces human bodies through motion capture, while the two text channels reveal in English and French the commerce of language, and its potential for new ways of producing meaning. The work is supported by New Century Art Foundation, Beijing. ©2019 MadeIn Gallery 没顶画廊 | 上海市徐汇区龙腾大道2879号 邮编：200232 | 2879 Longteng Avenue, Xuhui District, 202232 Shanghai | info@madeingallery.com | www.madeingallery.com #fineartmagazine
