The art world will have its eyes firmly on the city with three major art festivals teaming up to present Shanghai Art Week. Running from September 9-14, we break down what you can't miss starting with the second edition of West Bund Art & Design.
In a little over a year, the Xuhui Riverside has emerged as one of Shanghai’s most important art hubs. The forces behind the area’s redevelopment host the second edition of this festival that proclaims itself as “the first large-scale international fair in China to break the boundary between art and design.” More than 30 galleries will take over the West Bund Art Center showing off works by impressive names like Damien Hirst, Yayoi Kusama, Marina Abramović and Sean Scully. Outside, design houses like Atelier Deshaus, UNDEFINE and TM Studio have set up works across the West Bund corridor. There will be a variety of lectures and panel discussions with the full itinerary listed here.

Sarah Lucas: Tit Cat Up
