In the name of Shanghai Attitude, this contemporary art invited exhibition investigates on the artistic attitude and lifestyle of various Shanghai artists, and indirectly reflects the aesthetic values and ideas behind those artistic creations. The glory of art is created by the glamour of individual personality. In this exhibition, artists are invited to ignore the often-too-heavy traditional criticism, and chat about academic topics with ease. Through self introduction and explanation, artists in Shanghai reveal their motive, stage of mind, environment and creation, and explore their creative attitude. The rich and colorful academic value and spiritual content of their work are thus manifested. It’s their life attitudes that bring out their aesthetic taste. At the same time, a lot of hot topics have been aroused in this exhibition for Chinese contemporary art: How should we further decipher contemporary artists and their work with multi-angle; How regionality affects Chinese contemporary art; While the world is putting emphasis on Chinese characteristics, if there’re any Shanghaist characteristics existing; What can be offered from Shanghai to the Chinese art. Besides their recent works, artists will also present their artistic attitude in a fresh new way. The exhibition opens on 2 MAR.- 30 APR.2008 at Shanghai Design Center.
