Marco Brambilla | Double Feature @ Fotografiska Shanghai
Fotografiska Shanghai presents the debut solo show of video artist Marco Brambilla in China, Double Feature.
The exhibition unveils two extraordinary pieces that showcase Brambilla's mastery of visual storytelling and digital art through his Megaplex series: Heaven’s Gate (2022) and King Size (2023), inviting audiences on a thought-provoking journey to explore the boundaries of pop culture.
Until Oct 7; RMB80-120, ticket covers all ongoing exhibitions in Fotografiska
Liu Shiyuan | CRISPR Whisper @ Fotografiska Shanghai
Spanning photography, video, text, spatial installations, and stage plays, Liu Shiyuan's artistic practice reveals a profound exploration and interrogation of the intricate interplay between images and narratives.
Her works deconstruct and reassemble images down to pixels and video stills, the fundamental units of contemporary visual communication.
This meticulous approach parallels CRISPR gene-editing technology, which modifies the smallest units of life by trimming, cutting, replacing, or adding genes.
Similar to CRISPR, Liu's process of searching, cutting, and re-editing images generates new forms of visual expression and innovative ways of seeing.
Her method of inserting sequences and reorganizing them continually expands the possibilities of visual language while navigating ethical boundaries.
This exhibition features photography series and video works, encapsulating the artist's creative journey over the past decade.
Until Oct 7; RMB80-120, ticket covers all ongoing exhibitions in Fotografiska
Contemporary African Photography | Marvellous Realism @ Fotografiska Shanghai
The first and largest exhibition of African photography in Asia, Marvellous Realism. The exhibition is curated by Ekow Eshun, project led by Lucy MacGarry, and proudly presented by Fotografiska in partnership with the KT Wong Foundation.
Focused primarily on sub-Saharan African countries, Marvellous Realism is transnational in outlook; the exhibition presents work by established and emerging artists using photography and film as a means to envisage contemporary African cultural identity as a state of ongoing possibility, in which myth, memory and movement weave together into a rich tapestry of expansively imaginative art works.
The exhibition is founded on an awareness of how the rich and diverse contemporary art and cultural scenes in Africa remain largely unknown to the Chinese public, in spite of the importance of long-standing economic and political relationships.
The featured artists in the exhibition invoke Africa as an innately cosmopolitan condition that is closer in kind to the philosopher Achille Mbembe’s description of the continent as "a body in motion born out of overlapping genealogies, at the intersections of multiple encounters with multiple elsewheres."
In addition to the exhibition, a specific focus will be on celebrating African culture through diverse programming.
