Art Fair | ShanghART Gallery at Beijing Dangdai 2026｜Booth C12

ShanghART Gallery announces that it will present paintings, photographs, and installations by artists Chen Wencun, Fabrice Hyber, Hu Xiangcheng, Jiang Pengyi, Li Shan, Liang Shaojie, Sun Xun, Xiao Kegang, Xiao Wenjie, Xu Hongxiang, Yin Yunya, Yu Youhan, Zhang Enli, Zhao Yang, and Zhou Li at Booth C12 of the 2026 Beijing Dangdai Art Fair. By juxtaposing the creative practices of these 15 artists—ranging from the enduring exploration of art and life by early pioneers of Chinese contemporary art, to experimental narrative explorations in painting, and to deconstructive works involving light, shadow, and photosensitive materials across media—the booth not only showcases the resilience and evolution of the artists’ work over time but also echoes the ongoing dynamics of the fair from outside the exhibition space.

ShanghART Gallery announces that the launch event and dialogue for Zhou Li’s new books, organized by Beijing Dangdai Art Fair, will take place on May 22, 2026.

As an exploration of the artist’s current creative phase, this forum will focus on the eponymous art books accompanying two of her solo exhibitions held in China over the past two years: Four Seasons (curated by Sheng Liyu), which took place at the Jebum-gang Art Center in Tibet in May 2024, and Closest Yet Farthest (curated by Shu Kewen), presented at ShanghART Beijing in September 2025.

The binding design of both exhibition monographs converges on an exposed-spine, cloth-bound Smyth-sewn format—a material choice that systematically charts Zhou Li’s creative evolution. This trajectory spans from her initial perceptions of geo-spatial practice to a rigorous dissection of internal affect and methodological frameworks. Taking these two newly published textual archives as a catalyst, the artist and invited guests will engage in an in-depth dialogue centered on the formal presentation and academic trajectories of the previous two exhibitions.

ShanghART Beijing is presenting French artist Fabrice Hyber’s first solo exhibition in Beijing, The Weeping Sponge, which runs through June 18, 2026. The exhibition originates from the artist’s resonance with his late close friend, landscape architect Yu Kongjian, and his “Sponge City” theory: the land is a breathing organism, and flood management shifts from dam-based confrontation toward marshland symbiosis. Hyber describes himself as a sponge – for thirty years, on a hundred hectares in Vendée, he has practiced low-intensity farming, livestock rearing, and built water systems, allowing his body and the valley to collectively sense moisture and time. The paintings on view are both a documentation of this valley and a shared testimony of “terrestrial spontaneity” derived from their mutual exploration of nature.

In the portrait gifted to his close friend, Sponge (2026), all figurative depiction gives way to ever‑multiplying, moist pores, where seeds lie in wait for the next moment to trace the traces of life. A real sponge is embedded within the layered paint. No face is needed; it only breathes with the earth.

In Temperate (2026), Hyber constructs an intuitive formal analogy between forest and city: the root system of a forest delivers nutrients to all living things, just as a city’s water supply system sustains human existence. Beyond the picture, the isomorphism explored by the artist and Yu Kongjian – the intricate network of tree branches and trunks mirroring the invisible logic of urban public defence systems – perhaps points to a path for urban reconstruction: we should learn from the forest, that ancient ecological matrix, from an ecosystem that has no “waste”, only cycles, and that self‑repairs in response to climate.

Upcoming | Xu Hongxiang & Zhai Liang: The Gap Between Day and Night | ShanghART Suhe

ShanghART is pleased to present the dual solo exhibition of Xu Hongxiang & Zhai Liang “The Gap Between Day and Night,” at ShanghART SUHE from May 15 to June 27, 2026. Bringing together their works produced over the past two years, the exhibition foregrounds the two artists’ distinct observations of the everyday and the surrounding landscape, prompting renewed attention to the subtle and often overlooked incidents latent beneath lived experience.

A new night is imminent, yet the old dusk still lingers heavily, reluctant to depart. In After Dark, Haruki Murakami employs a third-person perspective to unfold two parallel narrative threads across seven hours spanning day and night, capturing the secrecy and solitude concealed within shifting light and shadow. Similarly, through their respective modes of observation and pictorial rhythm, Zhai Liang and Xu Hongxiang construct parallel narratives that resonate despite their divergent paths. Their perceptions of quotidian landscapes subtly emerge within space, murmuring in quiet dialogue. Their practices preserve a lingering warmth of passing moments, allowing those faint and submerged elements hidden beneath experience to reappear. Within the elusive yet inevitable fissure between “day” and “night,” these fragments become enclaves for perception itself.

Xu Hongxiang & Zhai Liang: The Gap Between Day and Night
Duration: 2026/5/15 –6/27 (Weds. - Sat. 11:30-18:00)
Location: ShanghART SUHE, 204, 30 Wen’an Road, Jing‘an, Shanghai

Solitary Hill and Plantain Rain: An Intermedia Scroll of Eastern Poetics. Yang Fudong’s New Work Debuts at China Pavilion, 2026 Venice Biennale

From May 6 to November 22, 2026, the 61st Venice International Art Biennale grandly kicks off. Curated around the overarching theme Minor Tone, this edition centers on introspective spiritual expression and diverse cultural narratives.

Hosted at the China Pavilion within Giardini della Biennale and curated by Yu Xuhong, President of China Academy of Art, the China Pavilion adopts the theme Dream Stream. It features the world premiere of Solitary Hill and Plantain Rain, a monumental new work by renowned contemporary artist Yang Fudong.

Following his 2020 solo exhibition Endless Peaks—where he paid homage to Song-Yuan monk painter Yan Hui through storyboard-style single-frame paintings—and his 2025 solo show Fragrant River at UCCA Center for Contemporary Art, which presented the 15-panel painting installation Private Notes from a Land of Bliss, Yang Fudong unveils his latest creation: the 20-panel group work Solitary Hill and Plantain Rain.

The work continues his contemporary reinterpretation of the narrative structure of classical handscrolls, while further amplifying temporality and emotional atmosphere within static imagery. It represents a comprehensive crystallization of Yang Fudong’s painting-film language: rooted in traditional Chinese landscape and figure painting, he employs contemporary intermedia techniques to conjure an otherworldly dreamscape for quiet contemplation and poetic wandering.

Yang Fudong Participates in the China Pavilion Seminar of the 61st Venice Biennale on May 9.

The seminar organized by , Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia and Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, will be held on May 9th from 09:30 to 17:00 at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia.

The theme of the China Pavilion is Dream Stream, originates from the Eastern wisdom of ”investigating underlying principles through the observation of phenomena“ and ”the unity of heaven and humanity“, which are embodied in the Dream Stream Essays by Shen Kuo of the Northern Song dynasty. How to renew tradition through innovation, and how to integrate art with science and technology, is the wager of this exhibition. It stages an immersive and perceptible Eastern visual system and cognitive schema.

Yang Fudong’s 20-panel painting installation is on view at the China Pavilion exhibition ”Dream Stream“ at the Venice Biennale. Meanwhile, ”Fragrant River“, his most comprehensive institutional solo exhibition to date and his first in Beijing, continues at UCCA Beijing through May 31.

Seminar Agenda
09:30–12:00 | Seminar Session I: Retrospective on the Biennale Arte and Chinese
Speakers: Xu Rong,Fan Di’an, Shang Hui, Peng Feng, Wang Chunchen, Wang Xiaosong, Tiziana Lippiello, Andrea B. Del Guercio, Yvon Chu,etc.

ShanghART Gallery at PHOTOFAIRS Shanghai 2026 | Booth A28“Beyond the Image” – Now Open

PHOTOFAIRS Shanghai 2026 opens today. At booth A28, ShanghART Gallery presents Beyond the Image, featuring works by Liang Shaoji, Yiyao Tang, Yin Yunya, Zhang Ding, and Zhao Yang. Using X-ray films, segmented and three-dimensional structures, box frames, and composite materials, the artists liberate the photographic image from its paper support, reconfiguring it as a material presence across objects, space, and time.

Photography here is no longer a flat image to be viewed, but a tangible, legible, and traversable reality. Beyond the Image addresses a core question: when photography leaves the paper, how does it regenerate meaning through installation, structure, and materiality?

Dai Chenlian: Waxing and Waning of the Augustness III

In the exhibition Waxing and Waning of the Augustness III, installations reconstructed from parts of a traditional loom are distributed throughout the gallery, interweaving painting, video, and space to create an immersive realm where personal memories and collective portraits overlap. As the final chapter of the ”Mother Trilogy“, the work embodies the obsessions with migration, labor, and homeland, turning an individual‘s life poem into a microcosm of a generation.

The delicate fragrance of the osmanthus, the steady movement of the moon—the tenderness and resilience of a generation of Chinese women slowly emerge in the interstices of documentary and fiction. This is both an archaeology of private memory and a collective echo of dispersion and perseverance. The exhibition continues until May 29. You are welcome to visit the exhibition and view the complete video at ShanghART M50.

Dai Chenlian: Waxing and Waning of the Augustness III
Exhibition Period: 2026/4/10 – 5/29 (Tuesday–Saturday, 11:00–18:00)
Venue: ShanghART Gallery (M50), Building 16, 50 Moganshan Road, Putuo District, Shanghai
