This duo exhibition from Chen Xuanrong and Huang Yulong explores urban individuality in China and street culture. With heavy hip hop influences, these two artists curated a conversation about their own respective identities through paintings and impressive, seemingly gravity defying sculptures.
Until Dec 31, Art+ Shanghai.
Lose Your Mind: David Shrigley

Here's your last chance to catch the Shrigley exhibition. Sitting at the intersection of art, design and pop culture, his solo show combines satire, black humor and an impeccable use of puns in a refreshing contemporary exhibition. It's comprised of over 400 illustrations and a collection of installations, giving you more than enough of a reason to head to the power station of Design - a creative extension of the Power Station of Art. And it's free!
Until Nov 14, power station of Design.
GUCCI x Maurizio Cattelan: The Artist is Present

Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan has partnered with Gucci’s Creative Director, Alessandro Michele, to bring a surreal collection of curated works to the Yuz Musem. Exploring how originality can be acheived through acts of repetition, the exhibition inspired by Marina Abromovic's 2010 live performance (as featured in the Jay Z music video for 'Picasso Baby' which, fun fact, revolves around a relatively interesting controversy that you should definitely look up) is runnning through to December.
Until Dec 16, RMB60, Yuz Museum.
