One of the first galleries from China to participate in international art fairs such as Art Basel and FIAC in Paris, the ShanghART Gallery is regarded as one of the key players in the development of contemporary art in China. It was also named one of the 75 most influential galleries in a Thames & Hudson publication, “International Art Galleries: Post-war to Post-millennium”. Established in 1996, the gallery is headed by gallery director Lorenz Helbling, and represents over 40 artists including Ding Yi, Chen Xiaoyun, Sun Xun, Yu Youhan, Yang Fudong, Zeng Fanzhi, Li Shan, and Zhang Enli.
Artworks invite us to read them over and over again, because good artworks will constantly create new dialogue ways or content together with viewers. For example, people may obtain new interpretations or opinions towards the same work when the context changes.
“Re-Reading”, ShanghART Gallery’s group show in Singapore, attempts to inspire visitors to explore and experience novel receptions from the artworks in different time, space and cultural contexts; it tries to stimulate visitors to be more sensitive towards the relationship between artworks and context.
Artists featured inlude Li Shan, Ding Yi, Shen Fan, Pu Jie, Xu Zhen, Made In Company, Zhang Qing, Yu Youhan & Ji Wenyu.
