I especially like the Shanghai Kaleidoscope. The artworks from various Chinese artists gives me a glimpse on how they view Shanghai--a traditional city going through changes in light-years. There is a group of pictures showing the many high-rises in Shanghai (The descriptions said there are over 4000!). There is also an artwork with a man balancing an inverted Shanghai city at his fingertip. If I were the artist, I would add a few things falling off from the new city to represent the loss as the city goes through massive changes. I don't know how old the artists showcased in the exhibit are. I think it will be interesting to see how artists of different generations view today's Shanghai.
If you miss the free event, admissions are half-priced on Fridays after 430pm.
