Urban development is an obvious phenomenon and reality in Chinese society. It is also a fundamental driving force for today’s art production. You will notice more and more exhibitions that not only deal with urban architecture and city planning, but also focus on how urban life style, cityscape and new forms of urban reality are shaping the artistic language and psychology of emerging artists.
The architectural tour of Shanghai is organized in conjunction with FAR-the Architecture Research Center of Shanghai will take place this Thursday.
