Shanghai Biennale Time: 165438+ 10/0 to 2065438+March 19.
Venue: Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art
Founded in 1996, Shanghai Biennale is the oldest and most influential international contemporary art biennale in China and one of the most important biennials in Asia.
Shanghai Biennale has always been based in Shanghai, discussing the interactive relationship between urban culture, contemporary art and the public, and has become a large-scale international contemporary art exhibition and exchange platform that gathers in Shanghai every two years.
The main curator of this year's Shanghai Biennale is Mexican curator, critic and art historian Cuauhtemoc Medina. Regarding the theme of this year's Biennale, he said that "Jade Step" is the footwork of the ancient Taoist ceremony in China, and responded to the English title "Proregress" with this mysterious dance step hovering between advance and retreat.
I hope to surpass the western thinking mode of binary opposition and vertical. It reminds us of the importance of exploring new ways of thinking, and culture will surely lead us to break through the paradox.

Bourgeois is considered as one of the most important artists in the 20th century and 2 1 century. Her works are famous for the combination of profound psychological suggestion and high formal creation.
This exhibition will show the most important series of works in the artist's career, including "Man" series sculptures in the late 1960s and "Cell" series installation art in the 1990s.
There are also textiles-centered works created in the last ten years of her life, as well as the most magnificent and memorable giant sculpture-spider "mother" series. Like spiders, mothers also play the role of weaving and restoration in the family's antique tapestry restoration workshop.
Therefore, the "eternal silk thread" also refers to the umbilical cord that maintains the relationship between mother and child. Spiders use their bodies to weave webs to build a building with strong vitality, just like Bourgeois used his body to create sculptures.

Venue: ChiK 1 1
KatharinaGrosse, a graduate of Dü sseldorf Academy of Fine Arts, often "dresses up" large painting and sculpture landscapes with colorful spray paint.
Her creation is somewhat similar to graffiti art, but the color is not only for image composition, but also a kind of "proof" left by her creative action, so her spray painting completes the transformation of the environment in three-dimensional space.
For her, this is not a provocation to social order, but a display of the artist's talent.
