Osage Gallery, Shanghai

Just as money is the paper, the gallery is the room takes as its focus artist-organized exhibitions between 1979 and 2006 in Shanghai.

The role of artists as “curators” in today’s terminology, has since more or less vanished from the scene due to the commercialization of art and exhibition making and viewing methods; this exhibition thus attempts to re-activate this local knowledge and practice through involving a number of local and international artists, hoping to bring together common threads from the larger context of exhibition-making practices across the region to explore exhibitions as an epistemological engine and to re-think the rituals within the art system. The structure of the exhibition will be dynamic and will be developed in conversation with these local and international artists and curators.
