An artist with skin in the game

The exhibition, Heidi Bucher: Beyond the Skins, curated by the museum's founder and collector Yan Shijie, navigates through the artist's avant-garde experiments with the interactions between human psychology and the surroundings, gender, society and other topics. It includes those impressive installations of latex skins which Bucher made to represent the history and memories of individuals and to reflect on the bonds imposed on one by social rules.

Curatorial assistant Yan Zi said that Bucher's artworks are like "fossils" with great energies, "narrating the memories and traces of an era"; her works have thrived and stood the test of time to leave an "indelible and profound" mark.
