One of the most prominent contemporary artists in the world, Xu Bing was born in China and was sent to the countryside for two years as part of the Chinese Communist Party's Cultural Revolution. He now lives in Brooklyn. Xu has exhibited around the globe and has received many honors, including the Fukuoka Asian Culture Prize (2003), the Wales International Visual Art Prize, Artes Mundi (2004), and a MacArthur Fellowship (1999). In 2007 his installation Any Opinions? at Wellesley College was named the best installation or single work of art in a New England museum by the United States section of the International Association of Art Critics.
