Beijing’s Millennial-Founded X Museum and Its “X Pink 101” Exhibition
The X Museum in Beijing is a private art museum founded in 2020 by Michael Xufu Huang and Theresa Tse. The partnership of the two influential millennials, each collector and entrepreneur in their mid-20s, attracted international attention, but the museum faced the pandemic shortly after its opening.
In May, X Museum moved its location and reopened in a former textile factory near Beijing’s 798 Art Zone. For its inaugural exhibition in the new place, X Museum is presenting “X Pink 101” through August 6. It brings together 49 works from the collection under the theme of pink, with featured artists including Antonio Obá, Christina Quarles, Heidi Bucher, Jes Fan, Zéh Palito, and Zhang Zipiao.
The works in the exhibition address concepts of the body and identity in constant flux under social and cultural structures, unconscious dreams and fantasies, and the impact of technological progresses on life.
