X Museum launches second triennial in Beijing

Apart from spotlighting the millennial Chinese artists who straddle cultures, the 2nd X Museum Triennial has also provided a platform for female artists as more than two-thirds of participating artists are women.

Having mounted many solo and group exhibitions featuring women artists from home and abroad, X Museum’s effort to increase the visibility of female creatives is echoed by Ms. Audi, a platform launched in 2020 by Audi FAW to serve and support its female customers.

Ms. Audi invited Chinese artist Hu Yinping, whose work Xiao Fang was featured at The Endless Garment, a two-fold group exhibit at X Museum in 2021-2022, to co-create a large-scale crocheted installation for the triennial.

Dubbed “The Ideal Garden of a Female Engineer,” the installation, on display at the museum’s entrance next to a grey Audi Q3 Sportback, features a woman reading in a garden decorated with plants and flowers, with dogs keeping her company and a rocket standing close by.

Hu hoped her work could inspire women to dream big, embrace challenges, and become their ideal selves as advocated by Ms. Audi.

Home Is Where the Haunt Is runs until Nov 26.
