Every September Shanghai becomes a key destination for the international art world, as the entire Asian contemporary art scene comes together as one of the most prestigious art fair in Asia, SH Contemporary, for the most dynamic art week of the year!
SH Contemporary 2011 will take place from September 8th to 10th, with preview on the 7th, in downtown Shanghai, at the extraordinary Shanghai Exhibition Center, and with a joint 4-day programme of openings, studio visits and events, in cooperation with the city’s leading galleries and cultural initiatives.
Under the new direction of Massimo Torrigiani, the 5th edition of the fair is organized into 2 main sections, providing visitors with a selection of cutting-edge and emerging art, including video, film, photography, new media and many other things! Also were selected new galleries and a New Entries section for emerging art and photography galleries, participating to the fair for the first time.
Shanghai is central to SH Contemporary. The fair will be held inside and outside the walls of the Exhibition Centre, involving galleries, the city's cultural and educational institutions, alternative and independent art spaces, and the most advanced expressions of the city's creative industries and the media.
