A recurring look at what's happening at Shanghai's art galleries:
1. Li Tingwei: Feeling Good?
J:Gallery welcomes the Shandong born artist artist who has exhibited in Berlin, New York and Beijing. For her first solo show in China, she mixes videos, installations and relevant texts into an exploration into “people’s aspirations for physical and mental well-being, as well as slef-perfection in a capitalist society, in the face of ubiquitous commodity consumerism and online media.” Heavy stuff.
