Shanghai is hosting the 60th Venice Biennale China National Pavilion Exhibition - Shanghai at the World Expo Museum from March 31 to May 31. The exhibition recreates major installations from the Venice presentation while presenting the international expression of Chinese culture.
The exhibition, themed Atlas: Harmony in Diversity, is divided into two sections: Collect and Translate.
The Collect section displays documentary archives of 100 masterpieces of Chinese painting held overseas. Through digital visualization, it shows how the masterpieces made their way into overseas museums, using visual evidence to illuminate history.
The Translate section presents new works by seven contemporary Chinese artists. By linking historical images with contemporary artistic practices, the exhibition creates a dialogue between past and present, and between Chinese and global artistic traditions.
