  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

Nearly thirty American and Chinese museum directors, as well as several American art foundation leaders and Chinese cultural philanthropists, will meet to discuss potential areas for partnership and projects for collaboration. Co-convened by Orville Schell, Arthur Ross director of the Center on U.S.-China Relations, Asia Society, and Melissa Chiu, director of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the U.S.-China Museum Leaders Forum aims to foster collaboration and exchange among museums in the two countries, first and foremost by enabling American museum leaders and their Chinese counterparts to connect on a personal level. The biennial Forum was initiated to address challenges faced by museums in China and ways to establish, operate, and sustain the thousands of new institutions the Chinese government plans to build in the next decade.

  • Art Shanghai
    WORDS DAVID ELLIOTT PLAYING TO THE GALLERIES While it may have become best known for its explosion of skyscrapers, Shanghai has also been busy building an impressive collection of contemporary art museums. ike Sydney and Melbourne, NYC and LA, and Delhi and Mumbai, Beijing and Shanghai have always competed with each other. As the capital, Beijing has the political Lstatus, but Shanghai has long been the commercial hub of China. In 2008, Beijing proudly presented the Olympic Games, but Shanghai was just as honoured to host the 2010 World Expo. Last year saw the topping out of the Shanghai Tower, China’s tallest (and the second highest in the world), but there are rumours that a new skyscraper in Beijing’s CBD will be even higher. China’s museum and gallery sector is no different. Beijing has claimed superiority, but now Shanghai is a very serious challenger, especially in the new growth area of private museums. Shanghai is huge – by most counts the biggest city in the world – and its art museums are spread out. Luckily, the city’s metro is excellent, so you can get to most of them by under- ground, and short taxi hops will see to the remainder. ❯ The Long Museum, PHOTOGRAPHY: GETTY IMAGES West Bund, Shanghai 82 QANTAS SEPTEMBER 2014 ART SHANGHAI CENTRAL SHANGHAI THE LONG MUSEUM IS ONE A good place to start is Shanghai Museum on People’s Square (201 OF THE BEST TO GAIN AN Renmin Avenue; 9am-5pm daily, free; www.shanghaimuseum.net/ en).

  • An Arts Explosion Takes Shanghai
    nytimes.com http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/08/travel/shanghai-west-bund-museums.html An Arts Explosion Takes Shanghai In Shanghai, the historic Bund grabs much of the spotlight — the stretch of former banks and trading houses along the Huangpu River, built a century ago in a kaleidoscope of architectural styles, is a monument to the grandeur of another era. It can also be downright suffocating on weekends, with tourists jostling for selfie positions. For congestion-weary residents, another part of the riverfront now known as the West Bund has become a far more appealing place to spend the weekend. Here, a once-forlorn industrial area known for aircraft manufacturing has been transformed into a lush green corridor where Shanghainese come to ride bikes and skateboards, scale outdoor rock- climbing walls and, a rarity in this city, enjoy picnics on the grassy riverbank. And in the last two years, museums and galleries have also started popping up as part of the city’s plan to turn the West Bund into a world-class arts and culture hub, Shanghai’s answer to Museum Mile in New York or South Bank in London. The atrium at the Yuz Museum. Credit Qilai Shen for The New York Times On one end of the waterfront area, two massive industrial buildings have been repurposed and transformed into the West Bund Art Center , site of a new annual art fair, and the Yuz Museum, focusing on contemporary works. On the other end is another institution exhibiting a mix of classical antiquities and modern Chinese art, the Long Museum West Bund.

It’s also the site of the annual West Bund Art & Design Fair, with the most recent edition showcasing works from 70 Chinese and international galleries. By 2019, the area will welcome an outpost of Centre Pompidou, which will occupy a gallery in the forthcoming West Bund Art Museum designed by British architect David Chipperfield. The collaboration between the renowned Paris modern-art institution and the West Bund Group—the mastermind and developer behind Shanghai’s own “Museum Mile”—will serve as an important symbol of cultural exchange between France and China. Also in the works is the Dream Center, an enter- tainment venture with ambitions to host Tinseltown-grade film premieres and world-class performing arts.

  • Contemporary Art and the Contemporary Art Museum: Shanghai and Its Biennale1
    John Clark Contemporary Art and the Contemporary Art Museum: Shanghai and Its Biennale1 Prehistories No doubt there are varied and rich prehistories to modernity in the art worlds of many Chinese cities apart from Beijing—Tianjin, Nanjing, Chengdu/Chongqing—but it is in Shanghai in the 1850s and 1860s that a patronage culture, for art at least for guohua (traditional Chinese painting), began and continued into the 1910s. Imbricated within this patronage culture were intense artistic exchanges with Japan and Europe, from the 1860s to the 1930s, effected through sending Chinese artists abroad to study. There were also a number of Japanese artists who exhibited in China, particularly at the first National Fine Arts Exhibition, in 1929. At the same time, the advent of modernity, beginning in the 1920s, was associated with a broad consumer culture that articulated new desires and, in particular, new roles for women—producing a new culture of visual representation in contemporary magazines, cinema, and advertisements. Thus, from the mid-nineteenth century onward the urban space of Shanghai increasingly constituted a foreground for the modern in China. This was physically upended, if not entirely destroyed, during the murderous, politically myopic conflicts between Nationalists and Communists in 1927, and in the long, bloody struggle with the Japanese in 1932, which was followed by a pause and then continued as all-out war from 1937 to 1945. Even then the caesura was not complete, and the civil war lasted from 1945 to 1949. One of the problems with divorcing contemporary art from art history involves actual and potential types of modernity, some existing in parallel to, some in conflict with, each other.
