Xijing Men is a collaborative group consisting of the Japanese artist Ozawa Tsuyoshi（小沢剛）, the Chinese artist Chen Shaoxiong, and the Korean artist gimhongsok　（金泓锡）. They have chosen the group name Xijing Men to mean the people living in Xijing, the subject matter of their work in the Beautiful New World exhibition. They have chosen the group name Xijing Men, which means the people living in Xijing, to be the subject of their work in the Beautiful New World exhibition.

Ozawa Tsuyoshi was born in 1965 in Tokyo, Japan. He currently lives and works in Saitama Prefecture　（埼玉県）. Since the 1990s he has been considered the leading artist among young artists in Japan. His works address socio-political issues, reflecting real-life situations and materials against themes of dialogue, interactions, and communication. Chen Shaoxiong was born in 1962 in Shantou, China. He currently works and lives in Guangzhou. He is interested in projects dealing with ‘cities,’ and over the years he has been working in collaboration with Ozawa on other city project, Guangdong Tokyo(2006). Gimhongsok was born in 1964 in Seoul, Korea. He currently lives and works in Seoul. He focuses on the phenomenon of the break-up of personal identity through the three themes of language, action, and social system.

Beijing (北京)and Nanjing(南京) are actual cities in China, while Tokyo (東京) is an actual city in Japan. But Xijing (西京) does not exist anywhere. Accordingly, the goal of their collaborative work for this exhibition is to create a virtual city called Xijing and to ultimately register it in the Google and other formal maps. The idea of artists from the three countries creating a city in virtual space evokes a utopian nostalgia in the sub-conscious of the viewer.

西京人(Xijing Men)是一个艺术家合作团体，由日本艺术家小泽刚（小沢剛，Ozawa Tsuyoshi）、中国艺术家陈劭雄和韩国艺术家金泓锡（金泓锡，gimhongsok）组成。他们选择“西京人”为团体的名字，并将其解释为“生活在西京的人”，而西京，则是他们参加“美丽新世界”展的主题。

1965年，小泽刚出生于日本东京。他目前在日本琦玉县工作、生活。自1990年代，他被视为处于日本年轻艺术家中的前列。他的作品以对话、互动和交流为主题，提出社会政治议题，反映现实材料和境遇。1962年，陈劭雄生于中国汕头。他目前在中国广州工作、生活。他对处理“城市”的项目感兴趣，数年来，他与小泽合作其它城市项目——2006年的“广东东京”（Guangdong Tokyo）。1964年，金泓锡生于韩国首尔。他目前在首尔工作、生活。他通过语言、行动和社会制度三个主题，聚焦个人认同的破裂。

北京、南京是中国实际存在的城市，而东京，则是日本一座真实的城市。西京却在哪里都不存在。于是，他们为此次展览合作的目标是创造一座叫“西京”的虚拟城市，并最终在谷歌（Google)和其它正式地图中注册它。来自三个国家的艺术家在虚拟空间创建一座城市的想法，在观众的潜意识中，激起一种乌托邦式的乡愁。
