Cang Xin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cang Xin (born 1967) is an artist based in Beijing working in performance art and photography.

Cang Xin was born in Heilongjiang Province, China.

He holds the belief that all things have spirit — both animate and inanimate objects — and approaches his work as a means to promote harmonious communication with nature. His works have included bathing with lizards, adorning the clothing of strangers, and prostrating himself on icy glaciers: each act represents a ritual of becoming the other.

He has exhibited in shows including the 2006 Bologna International Art Expo in Italy, A Strange Heaven at the Helsinki Museum of Contemporary Art, Bad Girls, Good Girls at Red Foundation in London and Between Past and Future at the New York International Center of Photography. He participated in exhibitions in Spain with the Espace Ample Gallery.

He is represented by Xin Dong Cheng in Paris and Beijing, and 10 Chancery Lane in Hong Kong.
