A recurring look at what's happening at Shanghai's art galleries:
1. Dong Dong
Magda Danysz Gallery brings together some of the world’s most renowned street artists like JonOne, Psy, Quik, Ludo, YZ (pictured above), Nasty and Chinese artist Siu Hang to create works using a door as the canvas.
Until Aug 27. Magda Danysz Gallery.
2. Thinking and Beyond
Shanghai Gallery of Art presents this group exhibition exploring the thinking process that artists go through in creating pieces that strive for innovation. Works span a variety of mediums from painting (see cover image) to sculpture (see above).
Until Aug 28. Shanghai Gallery of Art.
3. Earlier Mona Lisa
The Mona Lisa is arguably the world's most famous painting and its roots remains shrouded in mystery. In this popular traveling exhibtion, The Earlier Mona Lisa explores a painting of Lisa del Giocondo (aka. the Isleworth Mona Lisa) believed to be painted around 1503.
Until Aug 28. The House (Xintiandi), 380 Huangpi Nan Lu, 黄陂南路380号.
4. Brigitte Lacombe: Inside Cinema
Shanghai Center of Photography pays tribute to the New York based French photographer who has shot some of the world’s biggest stars since attending the 1975 Cannes Film Festival, where she met Dustin Hoffman and Donald Sutherland who invited her to their film sets to take photos. Since then, Lacombe has worked on movies from Martin Scorsese while capturing celebs like Mick Jagger for magazines like Vanity Fair and GQ.
Until Aug 28. Shanghai Center of Photography, 2555 Longteng Avenue, by Fenggu Lu 龙腾达到2555号, 近丰谷路 (6428 9516, info@ scop-sh.com)
5. The Uncertain, or the Shelved ...
More than 30 artists like Xu Zhen and Zhang Enli (see above) contribute pieces that drift away from their usual practices in this group exhibition that explores works and ideas created during an initial burst of creativity (‘the uncertain’) that have been put away as the artist searched for further ideas to finish the piece (‘the shelved’). The show provides a unique insight into the artistic creation process.
Until Aug 31. ShanghART Gallery Main & H Space.
6. Snacks
Since launching in 2009, Art World has been a publicly distributed magazine edited and designed by artists and designers. They’ve since collaborated with more than 200 artists and are teaming with Power Station of Art in this quirky group exhibition featuring 38 artists from around the globe. Works span a variety of mediums and on the weekends between 3-5pm, Jan Bucquoy will set up a snack truck giving away free french fries to visitors.
Until Oct 16. Power Station of Art.
