[2025 Shanghai Attraction] Travel Guide for Almine Rech Gallery (Updated May)

🐢 I initially hesitated to share these two exhibitions since I visited them near their closing dates, worrying they might not offer much reference value. But while organizing my photos, I realized how much I still adore them. · 🐢 "UMBAU·Renovation, Continuous Transformation" at the Bund 18 Art Salon explores architectural renovation's role in sustainable urban development—a refreshingly unique perspective. Beyond the exquisite models of gmp's 14 renovation projects, I was particularly drawn to their technical drawings, where the bold red and black color schemes created striking visual textures. · 🐢 "Retrospective Shadows" at the One Museum Gallery transported me into fleeting moments of architectural poetry. Standing silently between columns, I felt the undercurrents of green marble's veining, the serene presence of Buddha statues, and the graceful drapery folds—where materials and silhouettes whispered hidden narratives. · 🐢 Photos 17-18 feature Almine Rech Gallery's ongoing "Light" exhibition (the only one still running among these three), open until May 24 at 27 Huqiu Road, 2F (Tuesday-Saturday: 11AM-7PM).

Exhibition name: Ted Pim: Luminous Flux Dates: Mar 21–May 24 Location: Galerie Almine Rech Free admission, no reservation required The artist guides viewers into a psychological intervention where perception, memory, and physical sensations intersect and collide.

Exhibition name: Jean Miotte Returns to China Dates: Jan 10–Mar 25 Venue: Almine Rech Gallery Free admission, no reservation required The artist tends to use gestures and movements to convey emotions, to prove the complex relationship between himself and the perceived reality—a philosophical and spiritual experience that serves the symbolic meaning behind the image.

His sixth solo exhibition "Hot Pink" brings together a series of paintings with a unique color theme - a gradient from pink to blue, interwoven with purple in varying shades. "Echoes of the Past" Emerging Japanese ceramic artist Iwamura Toan combines elements of ancient pottery with modern "kawaii" aesthetics to create humorous ceramic sculptures that retain traditional simplicity while injecting modern vitality. Foggy Words: I personally like "Echoes of the Past", which is childlike and cute, and has a high degree of acceptance

|Looking Back at the Aftermath: Iwamura To and His "New Jomon".🪧 Event Name: Iwamura To: Looking Back at the Aftermath 📅 Event Date: October 25, 2024–December 28, 2024 🕔 Event Time: Tuesday–Saturday 11:00 AM–7:00 PM 🗺 Exhibition Venue: Almine Rech Gallery (2F, 27 Huchiu Road, Huangpu District) 🧩 Exhibition Content: Emerging artist Iwamura To from Kyoto was influenced by his parents, who were also painters, and was exposed to traditional art from a young age. Since his debut, he has mainly been engaged in ceramics and acrylic painting, believing that ceramics have the potential to become a universal artistic language across cultural boundaries. In Iwamura To's understanding, the fluidity of space affects and changes the viewer's subjective experience when viewing installation art. The exploration and balance of distance, time, space, and dynamics are important reasons why his ceramic works are so vivid. Iwamura To uses large pieces of clay to carve busts with various facial expressions, from shock and surprise to expressionless contemplation. Each ceramic sculpture has neat parallel lines carved on its surface. Through continuous practice, he created the term "New Jomon" to name his artistic ideas and ceramic works. These works are characterized by slanted stripes on the clay surface, reminiscent of traditional Japanese Jomon pottery. This name has now evolved into a unique category in ceramic taxonomy. "I have an urge to explore new things. Creating is like a continuous adventure, and when I work on clay or coil bearings, I am always looking for unexpected forms that I have never seen before," said Iwamura To. 🚇 Transportation: Line 2/10 → East Nanjing Road Station → Exit 6 → 🚶‍♂️500m. 🎫 Ticket Price: 🆓️Free admission. 💌 Reservation Method: No ☎️ reservation required

Exhibition Name: Men, Droplets, Flowers, Flames Date: 4/19-5/25 Location: Armin Reich Gallery The exhibition is free and no reservation is required The artist encourages the audience to interpret his paintings directly and simply through clear and concise themes, such as a fresh green cactus stretching towards the blue sky, a small dog, a lemon tree, or a man holding a vase. These symbolic elements may seem ordinary and unambiguous to us, but in the artist's brush, they are filled with endless possibilities.

🐢Turtle wrote in front of it that there are 500 meters and 5 exhibitions on Anfu Road. This article is about 1 building and 5 exhibitions at No. 27 Huqiu Road. · 🐢No. 27 Huqiu Road is no stranger to exhibition lovers. It is home to Perrotin, Almine Rech, and Lisson. If the galleries along the Bund are scattered like pearls, then these three are the starting points of the pearl chain. They are all 🌍-level galleries, which opened at almost the same time. They are of high quality and have stable output. Since their opening, they have been free and reservation-free. The only regret is that they are closed on Sundays. · 🐢Perrotin’s current exhibitions are two solo exhibitions: Xavier Veyon’s solo exhibition “Sculpture Park” and Danielle Orchard’s solo exhibition “Only the Light”. The styles of the two exhibitions are clearly distinct, as if the clear contours of Cubism meet the saturated tones of Impressionism.

Exhibition Name: Weightlessness Exhibition Location: Armin Reich (2nd Floor, 27 Tiger Hill Road) Public Transportation: Subway Line 2, Line 10 Nanjing East Road Station Exhibition Date: June 30, 2023 to August 12 Exhibition Tickets: Free, no reservation required Exhibition Record: This exhibition showcases more than ten works by artist Xavier Daniels on autonomy, brotherhood, and inner fragility. The concept of gravity also plays an important role in the exhibition. Gravity makes people feel heavy. When this basic physical principle does not exist, black people can think about the infinite possibilities in life without any burden. Foggy Words: The works are more like makeup advertisements, overall a bit saucy, alien, unrelated to weightlessness, attributed to the lost kind.

🌈Frederico Herrero｜Hearing the Mountains 📅March 15 to April 13, 2024 In this exhibition, all the paintings were created by the artist at the same time, so they influenced each other. Spontaneity and presence are at the heart of Herrero’s creative process: in the process of painting a work, the painting acquires an independence and begins to guide the artist, demanding specific colors, shapes, and harmonies. He must listen attentively to the ideas conveyed in the painting. The green and blue mountains ⛰️ are surrounded by colorful blocks like terraced fields, which are very healing. #ShanghaiExhibition #FreeExhibition
