Opening this weekend is Ugo Schildge's Asia debut. As the newest artist signed with the gallery, the exhibition evaluates our relationship with nature and the role of pollenation in the ecosystem through allegorical tales of a world devoid of natural resources.
Dec 9 - Jan 13, Galerie Dumonteil.
Wang Haiyang

In three parts, these experimental works showcase some of Wang Haiyang's most inventive efforts yet. A looped video titled Party In the Anus (seen above), compliments an additional video work with subsequent drawings and paintings of hair covered humans in the freshly painted walls of the Anfu Lu gallery.
Until Dec 25, Capsule Shanghai.
Peter Passed By Here: Guo Xi Solo Show

Guo Xi is an impressionable man - literally and figuratively. The artist's second solo show at Vanguard Gallery includes installations, sculptures and paintings of what look like footprints left in cement or soil. Inspired by the constant renovations in Hangzhou and the impressions left by trodding soles, he imagines their names, their histories and their stories through this body of work.
Until Dec 31, Vanguard Gallery.
Bodega Run

This is the last weekend to check out Tshcabalala Self's solo exhibition at their Project Space of Art, highlighting the Bodegas of New York City through paintings, sculptures and video. The family run corner stores featured in Self's show capture an aspect of the Black-American and Latinx community that has yet to be shown in a Chinese instution.
Until Dec 9, Yuz Museum.
GUCCI x Maurizio Cattelan: The Artist is Present

And you've got one more weekend to check out The Artist is Present. Italian 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.
Russell Young: Superstar

Sid Vicious, David Bowie, Liz Taylor and the Kennedys - superstars abound are on display via Russell Young's pop-icon screenprints. He plays into idolization, image and their not so glamorous reality in dozens of larger-than-life paintings.
Until Jan 6, Modern Art Museum Shanghai.
