Having grown up in China, and studied Japanese and Chinese arts and cultures in China, Japan, Singapore, and the United States, Xiaojin Wu specializes in Japanese art and has extensive knowledge in Chinese art. She is organizing an exhibition in honor of Professor Yoshiaki Shimizu, and is planning future exhibitions on seventeenth-century Japanese painting. Before joining the Princeton University Art Museum in 2008, Xiaojin was a Getty Fellow at the Asia Society Museum in New York, where she co-curated the Shape of Things: Chinese and Japanese Art from the John D. Rockefeller 3^rd Collection, and assisted with the Art and China's Revolution exhibition. She was a Smithsonian fellow at the Freer and Sackler Galleries of Art in 2007, and an intern at the Princeton University Art Museum in 2006. She is completing her dissertation titled "Beyond Decoration: Visual and Literary Receptions of Bird-and-flower Screens in Muromachi Japan," which examines the production and iconography of Japanese bird-and-flower screens in the 15^th– and 16^th-centuries in relation to the reception of Chinese ink paintings. She was a contributing author for the catalogue of the exhibition, Awakenings: Medieval Zen Figural Painting from Japan, held at the Japan Society in the spring of 2007.
