Artist continues to surprise fans

Xu Zhen is one of the few artists to enjoy fame and wealth in his early 20s. He was the youngest Chinese artist to participate in the Venice Biennale in 2001, and four years later, he exhibited his video Shouting in the first Chinese pavilion at the biennale.

But, he found himself losing his curiosity and interest as an independent artist. So he announced his decision to change direction and founded a company, MadeIn, to produce "contemporary art creation".

Xu, now 36, calls the two-story warehouse, located in an industrial zone in Shanghai, the place where he diffuses his art practice and "changes the world".
