Yin Xiuzhen is one of the most active woman artists in today's China. She is an avantgarde installation artist, mirroring the environment around her. She began showing her work in the late eighties, around the time she graduated from the Beijing Capital Normal University. In recent years she has made a number of installations both in the galleries and outside.

The artwork of Ms. Xiuzhen reflects the living environment. She considers artwork as a means of communication to convey aspects of individual experiences in life in relation to global transformations. Water is a recurrent issue in her work. Her projects are participatory and quite a few have been dealing with water.
