Xu Zhen (born 1977, Shanghai) graduated from the Shanghai School of Arts and Crafts in 1996. Since then he has produced conceptually-driven and controversial projects as an artist, curator, and founder of MadeIn, a company he set up in 2009 to collaborate with a group of artists and technicians. He works in photography, installation, video, and performance; his work contains a level of theatrical humour and criticises social conventions, reflecting the infinite possibilities of contemporary culture. Xu lives and works in Shanghai.
Works by Xu Zhen include Installation, Video, Photography and Sculpture.

There are 12 objects by Xu Zhen from the M+ Collection and the M+ Sigg Collection available online.
