鈥楾he City of Unknown鈥 on show at Urban Planning Hall
Print Edition
THE Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall is hosting a contemporary art exhibition about the city and its people.
The exhibit titled “X City” or “The City of Unknown” explains Shanghai’s past and present and explains the future with abstract paintings, multimedia works and videos.
The exhibition also includes Yu Xingze’s interpretation of “time” and “space.” Yu, who is a professor at Tongji University’s College of Architecture and Urban Planning, has studied arts in Germany for many years.
The exhibition on the second floor of the exhibition hall will run until April 5. It aims to inspire visitors and let them experience, think and imagine the relationship between city and its citizens, Yu says.
“A city is alive with pulse and body temperature of its citizens,” he said at the opening ceremony of his exhibition.
A centerpiece exhibit titled “City Rhapsody” is made of over 9,100 reflective balls in red, purple, green, blue, gold and silver. It shows that everyone is a cell of a society and a city is a combination of these cells, which change constantly and collide with each other.
An artistic installation titled “Deep Breath” showcases a miniature of city space with 66 small structures held by metallic nets. Visitors are encouraged to walk through these miniature buildings to breathe and feel the city.
