Shanghai Project Envision 2116 September 4, 2016 – July 30, 2017
Shanghai Project Envision 2116 September 4, 2016 – July 30, 2017 The inaugural edition of the Shanghai Project, Envision 2116, will launch the first of its two phases on September 4. Under the co-artistic directorship of Yongwoo Lee, Executive Director of Shanghai Himalayas Museum, and Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director of Serpentine Galleries London, the first edition of Shanghai Project focuses on public engagement through event-based programming, as well as exhibitions, public works, an open call platform, a pop–up library, community participation programs and international conferences. As one of the highlights of Phase 1, the Envision Pavilion, designed by Sou Fujimoto, will open to the public on September 4 at the Shanghai Himalayas Center. The structure, with a 670 square meter footprint, is a hybrid space composed of industrial scaffolding grids, glass and trees, combining notions of inside/outside, natural/man-made, organic/geometric and building/beyond-building. It serves as a symbolic center of the Shanghai Project. For the full duration of the Shanghai Project, the Envision Pavilion acts as a site for lectures, panels, workshops, seminars, performances and film screenings in the event space, as well as exhibitions in its gallery space and social gatherings in its café. In the gallery space, the audience will encounter Cildo Meireles‘s installation Ku Kka Ka Kka as well as Xu Bing‘s work from his series Background Story, and Jenova Chen‘s video game, Journey. Further, the pavilion will host Landversation, a series of performances developed by Otobong Nkanga and her team. Also in the event space, visitors will find the “Shanghai Project Pop-Up Library of the Future,” launched in collaboration with the renowned Shanghai Jifeng Bookstore. -
K11 Art Foundation and New Museum Co-Present After Us
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 17, 2017 K11 Art Foundation and New Museum co-present After us A group exhibition of Chinese and international artists exploring how the use of online personae relates to notions of being human K11 art museum, Shanghai 17 March – 31 May 2017 CHEN Zhou, Life Imitation, 2016, Video file, 1:22 min, Image courtesy of the artist The K11 Art Foundation (KAF) is pleased to present After us, their first major project in China in partnership with the New Museum, New York. Exhibition curator Lauren Cornell, New Museum Curator and Associate Director of Technology Initiatives, is supported by Chinese curator Baoyang Chen, appointed by KAF as Assistant Curator, to explore how Chinese and international artists use surrogates, proxies, and avatars to expand the notion of being human. The exhibition features an international group of artists while focusing on emerging artists from China, in line with KAF’s mission. Included in the exhibition are works in sculpture, installation, photography, performance and video as well as works engaged with augmented and virtual reality. After us looks at the original personae that artists are animating: ones that amplify current social and emotional conditions and speculate on potential future states. With the rise of artificial intelligence, the social web and gaming, the process of adopting newly invented personae is now a common part of popular culture and daily life. Stand-ins for the self, for feelings and products, and for values and beliefs have expanded our lives and sense of possibility. The title After us raises the spectre of a society that will replace our own, and yet, many of the featured artists instead layer virtual or imagined states onto the present. -

The Luxury Malling of Shanghai: Successes and Dissonances in the Chinese City
1 1 Th e Luxury Malling of Shanghai Successes and Dissonances in the Chinese City A g n è s R o c a m o r a Introduction Th is chapter looks at the role of one particular type of urban formation in the redefi nition of Shanghai: the luxury shopping mall. In the 1990s and following China’s post-Cultural Revolution opening to the West as well as the party- state’s adoption of a socialist market economy, the city saw the emergence and rapid proliferation of luxury shopping malls. Multi- storey buildings hosting international brands such as Fendi, Chanel, Louis Vuitton or Coach are recurring sights, with Plaza 66, CITIC and Westgate Mall (known as the Golden Triangle of luxury malls) only a few among the still rising list of luxury shopping malls. Th ese malls are part of a wider phenomenon of urban redevelopment in Shanghai. Indeed throughout the 1990s the city experienced an unprecedented programme of urban renewal, economic restructuring and growth.1 Shanghai shift ed from a manufacturing economy to one focused on fi nance, real estate and the service sector.2 Th is urban and economic shift was refl ected in the restructuring of the spatial organization of the city, with skyscrapers, avenues and newly constructed roads central to its reshaping and globalizing.3 Informed by a series of visits to Shanghai in the course of 2014–16 4 and in dialogue with some of the extant literature on Shanghai and China, the chapter shows that to understand the presence of luxury malls in Shanghai one needs to look at the wider context of China’s embrace of both shopping malls and luxury, as well as at the city’s history as a cosmopolitan consumerist centre (fi rst section). -

Rockbund Project & Rockbund Art Museum
Rockbund Project & Rockbund Art Museum Shanghai, China 2006 – 2011 Following the establishment of international trading relations in the nineteenth century, Shanghai became a commercial and cultural centre of East Asia and home to a large number of European commercial offices and consulates. Examples of Shanghai’s Art Deco style – European building styles combined with Asian elements, characteristic of the city’s early twentieth century architecture, are strung along the Bund, Shanghai’s boulevard on the west bank of the Huangpu river. An ensemble of historic buildings, now called the Rockbund Project, reflects the diversity of the colonial architecture and forms the Northern part of the Bund. By restoring the existing buildings and planning new ones, a team of international architects is helping to revitalise the Rockbund Project, which will accommodate office complexes, hotels, retail and apartments. David Chipperfield Architects has been commissioned with the restoration and conversion of eleven buildings1. The aim of the restoration concept is to present buildings that have aged with dignity and style: The façades will be carefully cleaned and repaired without destroying the original fabric. Subsequent conversions will be removed and the buildings returned to their original state as much as possible. Existing structures within the roof area of some buildings will be expanded in reaction to contemporary changes in usage. The expansion of the Andrews & George Building to create Rockbund 6 will see its historic fabric being combined with contemporary architecture: The listed three- storey façade of the existing building that marks the southern edge of the planning area will be renovated and eleven storeys added in the form of a stacked construction.
