With a theme of Stop Making Sense, this year’s festival explores the surreal relationship between artists, the living environment and change. 17 small innovative exhibitions will be presented by galleries like 1933 Gallery, Art+ Shanghai and FQ Projects, showing off what’s happening in the new Chinese arts scene. The New York-based APT Institute will present three new media and interactive projects by emerging artists Hu Renyi (pictured above), Xie Caomin and Samson Young.
In addition, the top eight works of the digital art competition BLAST! will also be revealed at MOCA Pavilion and BMW Brand Experience. With so many art options happening that weekend, the festival organizers have created tailor made tours of the city’s top museums and the other two art festivals happening to ensure maximum art overload. Tickets for those are available at SmartTicket.
