Editor's Description
Last updated: April 17, 2012
This large contemporary art space has no permanent collection, so it's not really a museum in the traditional sense, but it does host impressive contemporary shows by some of China's most successful artists. The building is art deco, restored beautifully by British architect David Chipperfield, but the real draw are the events and lectures put on by the museum. For a full program, see the website.
Model Home at Rockbund Art Museum is an exhibition of new works by Michael Lin in collaboration with fellow artists and craftspersons. The show is co-organized by Japanese architects Atelier Bow-Wow and features works across a range of media. A diverse mix of makers from construction workers, furniture makers, musicians, film-makers and urban studies researchers are involved the exhibition, all taking inspiration from the history of the Museum itself, as well as the Bauhaus emphasis on the social functions of art.
