While the international art fare was held in Shanghai for the second
time, Chinese artist could celebrate a very special event at a different
venue. They managed to organize the first exhibition about modern Chinese
art ever held in China. The exhibition, called "Fuck off", was
held in a sleek two-tiered set-up at a wharf in Shanghai. Up to know contemporary
art in China only received attention at art fares abroad. The man responsible
for this retrospective on the still very young history of contemporary
Chinese art is Ai Wei Wei (44). |
