Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art

Recommended Index: Four Stars

The second stop in Shanghai came to the Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art.

Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art was established on October 1, 2012. It is the first public museum of contemporary art in mainland China. At the same time, the Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art is also the location of the Shanghai Biennale.

The building of Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art was transformed from the original Nanshi Power Plant. It not only witnessed the urban changes of Shanghai from industry to information age, but also bid farewell to the past of excessive grabbing of energy.

Fortunately, there is a brochure at the entrance, otherwise this tweet would really not have come out.

Christian Poltanski

«Opportunity · Wheel of Destiny»

Many of the baby's headshots move circularly on scaffolding 8 meters high and nearly 40 meters wide. The "conveyor belt" printed with the photo kept turning. Then it stops randomly and the machine will take a picture of the baby's face. In this way, "opportunity" and "fate" are tortured.

Whether our birth is an accidental providence or a necessity destined to happen at a certain time and at a certain moment.

The digital screen records the number of seconds Christian Poltanski has spent since his birth, and it will stop when he dies.

Human»

It is composed of hundreds of "gauze", each of which is printed with portraits of different people. These faces from all over the world have appeared in Poltanski's previous creations. The "gauze" drifted leisurely in the air, and it was the souls that had disappeared with it.

Monument»

These small colorful frames and black and white children's photos reproduce the sense of form that people often experience in Christian churches. They evoke meditation in the looming light.

In addition to the abstract works above, there are also interesting exhibitions in the museum.

Next, let's go and have a look.

Mark Newsom's Concept Jet

A conceptual jet that combines advanced skills, industrial engineering and futuristic design. This work is between the three concepts of prototype, sculpture and design. It is the crystallization of many years of research by designers in form and materials.

It explores the complex relationship between art and design, as well as communication and creation.

Due to the smaller range of activities, the plane was larger, and no panoramic view of the plane was taken.

Interesting porcelain design
Animal Form + Flowers
Give you endless imagination, very fun.

Ron Mook's ultra-realistic sculpture

His sculptures are very strange, they are fascinating, but they are also disturbing. His work has completely rewritten the artistic language of contemporary sculpture. They are large or short. But not comparable to normal human body size.

The artist draws on the common fantasies and experiences of people in daily life. Create a visual experience that instantly appeals to the audience.
