this week's openings

March 17, 2011 / Thursday

"My Projection is Focusing," solo exhibition by Huang Kui.
ShanghART H-Space (50 Moganshan Lu, Building 16, Shanghai). March 17
to May 7, 2011. Opening: March 17, 5-7 pm.
Who am I? What am I? Is that "I" only a part, or all of my body? Would
a person still be a whole when he got some replacement organ? What's
the difference in entity, between the "I" just given birth and the
philosophizing "I"? They would never share a same cell again.


March 17, 2011 / Thursday

"The Third Eye," Iran Contemporary Art Exhibition, with Shoja Azari,
Majeed Beenteha,  Puoyan Jafarizadeh Dezfoulia, Shanram Entekabi and
others.

March 18, 2011 / Friday

"Clown's Revolution," exhibition by Sun Xun.
Vanguard Gallery (204, Building 4A, 50 Moganshan Rd, Shanghai). March
18 to April 24, 2011. Opening: March 18, 4-7 pm.
Sun Xun's works are predominantly monochromatic, highly detailed
hand-drawn animation films. His works investigate the construction and
narration of history.  "Clown's Revolution," the work he displayed
during the Holland Animation Festival, is his special reading of
history. This time, the exhibition includes not only the animation,
but also a large amount of manuscripts.


March 18, 2011 / Friday

"Alex Katz: Recent Paintings and Selected Prints."
James Cohan Gallery (1/F, Building 1, No. 170 Yue Yang Road,
Shanghai). March 18 to May 15, 2011. Opening: Friday, March 18, 6-8
pm.
After graduating in Manhattan in 1949, Alex Katz studied plein air
painting in Maine. Light is a key and central subject in all of Katz's
works. The velocity and subtle, ever- changing shifts of light—'fast
light' as Katz calls it—and the way it is articulated and captured is
an imperative for the artist.


March 20, 2011 / Sunday

"Trilogy: Liu Wei Solo Show."
Minsheng Art Museum (Building F, No. 570 Huaihai West Rd, Shanghai).
March 20 to May 3, 2011. Opening: Sunday, March 20, 4 pm.
