Here's something for the denizens of Lujiazui's steel forest. The annual Green Bank Art Festival starts today at the North Riverbank Corridor of Modern Art Museum, ending December 15. This year's festival theme Is "Lu Garden," inspired by the old garden residence of Lu Shen (陆深), an important Ming Dynasty scholar and, interesting fact, the man who gave Lujiazui its name.
20+ international artists are displaying artwork playing with natural elements and turning the 1km Riverbank Corridor into a curious city garden open to the public, free of charge. There's also an outdoor marketplace this weekend (December 6-8) from 11am-8pm. Next weekend (December 14-15) sees performances from Shanghai-based multimedia artists like *LLND, Yu Su from EATING MUSIC and Ban Lei (班磊) in the afternoon. The official schedule is a little hard to follow but there's a ton of stuff going on in case you need a break from the Christmas markets.
