How Shanghai’s Art Scene is Transforming, from Hangzhou to West Bund
An on-the-ground report from the city's art week, which boasted two fairs, big museum shows, and new gallery pop-ups.
“Very quiet.” That’s how several people I spoke to before Shanghai Art Week last week described the atmosphere. Still, it remains China’s biggest annual art event, especially for the mainland. The week is grounded by two homegrown art fairs: ART021 Shanghai Contemporary Art Fair and West Bund Art and Design, both of which touted some sales even if at lower prices and at a slower pace than in past editions. Yet, beyond the fairs, the city’s art scene is changing shape. Here are five of the biggest trends I noticed this year.

Research | Kyungmi Shin
Kyungmi Shin is a visual artist working with painting, sculpture, and photography. Her artistic focus ranges from the nature of visual perception all the way to depictions of personal identity while exploring frequently ignored global economic and cultural forces. Using family photo archives (including her own), along with historical and cultural narratives as source material, Shin will often move the lived experiences of marginalised subjects to the centre of her work. This can result in a shift of the viewer's perspective from dominant narratives to an awareness of the experiences of others, and perhaps even onto reflections of how ignored global economic and cultural forces have shaped our world.
