Shanghai Contemporary Art Fair and Shanghai Biennale a double bill in September 2008

SHANGHAI CONTEMPORARY ART FAIR AND BIENNALE 9-13 SEP 2008

After a relatively well-received debut in 2007 – despite controversy surrounding the dealings of its former art director Pierre Huber – ShContemporary art fair will return to Shanghai from 9-13 September.

ShContemporary 2008 will gather together around 130 exhibiting galleries from 25 countries, ranging from Australia to the United Arab Emirates. Some 30 artists from the Asia Pacific region will also be presented in the Best of Discovery section, and there will be an outdoor exhibition of sculptures and installations at the host venue, the Shanghai Exhibition Centre.

For art lovers, this year’s fair comprises part of a double-header – with the 2008 Shanghai Biennale, entitled TransLocal Motion, taking place at the same time.
