Wang Xin's installation with Zhi Art Museum

As the inaugural exhibition of the Zhi Art Museum’s art project 2021-2022, “Chair, Chair, X Artists Can Tell” by Wang Xin is now on view until 16 October, 2021 in Chengdu, China. The project uses chair as the key material to depict its complex relationship with human society, aiming to enlighten viewers with multi-dimensional and boundary-pushing experiences.

“Artists Can Tell” is a bar installation that features an interactive performance. Artists other than Wang are invited to perform, acting as bartenders and serving visitors with a selection of different bottles.
Each bottle has a satirical label attached, showcasing different aspects of the art world, such as “How galleries choose artists”, “How to network at an art fair” and “What makes artists special.” The piece contemplates the existence and significance of the art world today, and asks: Is the relationship between artists and art lovers the same as the relationship between bartenders and bar- goer?
