Magic City Exhibition| A non-linear compilation of a culture is possible

|A non-linear compilation of a culture is possible. The 14th Shanghai Biennale is being held at the Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art. As one of the city projects of this event, the theme exhibition 'Pichen Spectrum: A Non-linear Compilation of a Culture' recently opened at the Sinan Time Zone Gallery. ❤Reason for recommendation: The theme of this Shanghai Biennale is 'Cosmic Film'. A total of 79 artists/groups from 41 countries on six continents are participating, including 17 artists/groups from China. The original purpose of the Shanghai Biennale was to provide a platform for Chinese artists to showcase the spiritual and cultural values of avant-garde art in China, and this Biennale places more emphasis on the significance of international cultural exchange. 🌟Highlights: Inside the Sinan Time Zone Gallery, more than a dozen exhibits are eye-catching, such as English textbooks published in Shanghai, which reflect the city's evolution process with real objects. 'Yangjingbang English' is a hybrid language of this period. As part of the 14th Shanghai Biennale 'Cosmic Film', 'Pichen Spectrum' borrows the concept of 'non-linear editing' technology in the film industry, focusing on the multiple choices and challenges faced by Chinese artists in the process of cultural input, editing and output. The coexistence, collision and fusion of cultures presented in the exhibition together form a complex 'cultural universe' narrative. In this chaotic and diverse space, the interpretation, misreading and absorption of different cultures often lead to the generation of each individual's unique 'Pichen language'. If compared to those science fiction films with a grand cosmic view, the communication between multiple races and civilizations is nothing more than a replay of human's search for 'self' and 'connection'. 🕙Exhibition time: The exhibition will continue until February 18, 2024 💰Average consumption: Free to the public. 📍Detailed address: 1st Floor, No. 1, Lane 523, Fuxing Middle Road 📝Note tips: Working days 13:00-19:00 Weekends 11:00-19:00 (Closed on Tuesdays)
