At the Frieze Art Fair in New York in 2013, a selection of works by the Beijing-based artist [[Liu Chuang (artist)|Liu Chuang]] was presented, which focus on the indigenous culture of Shenzhen and Guangzhou, a region in south China populated with migrant works. Through installation works, the artist examines and calls into attention the immediate reality of contemporary China, exploring in particular how the notion of [[Shanzhai]] - the phenomenon of counterfeiting and plagiarism in mass manufacturing and consumption - has infiltrated and inflected the local population and their ideological landscape.<ref>{{Cite web |title=LEO XU PROJECTS » fair {{!}} FRIEZE NEW YORK 2013 |url=http://leoxuprojects.com/?p=1413 |access-date=2022-10-13 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Smith |first=Roberta |date=2013-05-10 |title=40 Nations, 1,000 Artists and One Island |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/11/arts/design/frieze-new-york-at-randalls-island.html |access-date=2022-10-13 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref>
At Art Basel HK 2013, Leo Xu Projects premiered a photography-based project by the Beijing-based artist [[Chen Wei (artist)|Chen Wei]] that investigates the youth culture of mainland China - music and lifestyle in particular. This series, set primarily on club dance-floors or at party scenes, aims to capture the moment of trance from the life of Chinese youth, who grow up in the post-89 years and are heavily influenced by imported and unlicensed cultural products such as bootlegged music cassettes, CDs, DVDs, unofficially translated literature and art publications.<ref>{{Cite web |title=LEO XU PROJECTS » fair {{!}} ART BASEL HONG KONG 2013 |url=http://leoxuprojects.com/?p=1419 |access-date=2022-10-13 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>
