Shanghai Biennale
Recently, I received an interesting email at work about the Siemens Arts Program that offers a cultural program for Siemens employees. Today they organized a visit to Shanghai’s latest cultural highlight, the 6th Shanghai Biennale "Hyper Design". Well, normally I am not the biggest fan of modern art, but I thought a look cannot hurt and I was really surprised in a positive way. The exibition is really worth visiting. The Biennale has many interesting installations of artists from around the globe that sometimes use high tech like projectors and displays and sometimes really basic materials, such as wood or cloth. Some of the really interesting parts where an "IKEA coffin" called DIY or a replica of an appartment that was upside down and you could walk underneath it on mirrors that let you see everything with yourself inside. Really hard to describe but awesome if you stand there.
The Biennale is open till Nov. 5th 2006 in the Shanghai Art Museum.
