{"product_id":"qin-yufen-yufen-qin-9783864422669","title":"Qin Yufen: Leben: Kat. Schwartzsche Villa Berlin-Steglitz","description":"\u003cb\u003eBarbed Wire and Silk\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eQin Yufen (*1954 in Shandong, lives in Beijing and Berlin) is one of the leading Chinese ­artists of her generation. In her large-scale instal­lations, she works with barbed wire, bamboo, silk and clothes hangers--a collection of materials that has since come to be her trademark. In her work she often ­reflects on political and social concerns yet not in a conspicuous way. In her earlier instal­lations, she preferred to focus on the cultural past of China and, against this background, her own ­influ­ences and identity, today she is primarily concerned with the global increase of ­vic­timization. This ­catalog presents for the first time a concise ­insight into her artistic de­velopment over the past 25 years, with the main focus on the two ­installations ­realized in 2018 for the exhi­bition at Schwartzsche Villa in ­Berlin. The spaces and the works enter into a compo­sitional relationship that may be ­described as an aesthetic state of tension between emptiness and intervention. The ­result are  images« of a reality in which, to name just two of the materials used, the ­contrast of silk and barbed wire represent the contradictions that tend to determine modern life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExhibition: \u003cbr\u003e Schwartzsche Villa, Berlin-Steglitz, 29\/6- 26\/8\/2018\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yufen Qin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3864422663\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783864422669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Snoeck Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.71h x 8.11w x 0.31d","brand":"Yufen Qin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48799041552639,"sku":"9783864422669","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/qin-yufen-yufen-qin-9783864422669","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
