A leading female sculptor and figure in Chinese contemporary art,
Yin Xiuzhen (b. 1963, Beijing, China) began her career in the early
1990s following her graduation from Capital Normal University in
Beijing where she received a B.A. from the Fine Arts Department in
1989. Best known for her works that incorporate second-hand
objects, Yin uses her artwork to explore modern issues of
globalization and homogenization. By utilizing recycled materials
such as sculptural documents of memory, she seeks to personalize
objects and allude to the lives of specific individuals, which are
often neglected in the drive toward excessive urbanization, rapid
modern development and the growing global economy. The artist
explains, "In a rapidly changing China, 'memory' seems to vanish
more quickly than everything else. That's why preserving memory has
become an alternative way of life."

This volume is one of three companion catalogues to an exhibition
taking place simultaneously at three venues in Rome on the
large-scale projects of Pier Paolo Pasolini. They explore a theme
dear to Pasolini - sacredness - with a multidisciplinary approach
that will shed a light on his main characteristics as a poet,
writer, director, and artist and on the cultural influence he
wielded. This is the catalogue for the exhibition at Fondazione
MAXXI, which explores the many facets of Pasolini's political
engagement. Texts, images, movies, notes, and documents will
narrate the beginning of a protest that has endured to this day,
with interpretations of Pasolini's work is seen through the voices
of contemporary artists. An essay by Anne Violaine Houcke analyses
Pasolini's final period, while Ara Merjan's text explores his
aesthetics. Marco Belpoliti explores the 1975 timeline, giving
special attention to the political events most closely connected to
Pasolini. Incudes contributions by Eleonora Cardinale, Roberto
Chiesi, Silvia De Laude, Fabio Francione, Giuseppe Garrera, and
Vincenzo Trione. Text in English and Italian.
Projects by 8 of the most outstanding non-European artists of the
last decade, living and/or working on the continent. Their
trajectories and experiences show a common diversity which injects
a fresh, inspiring, and innovative energy to the European art
scene.
