Art of Seeing: Decoding Chinese Contemporary Art
m97, OV Gallery and ShanghART offer an art workshop aimed at developing analytical skills and building insider knowledge
March 14,21,28
OV GALLERY PRESS RELEASE
The dense language and insider nature of contemporary art can befuddle even the most intelligent of us, but that shouldn’t ruin our enjoyment of it. Canadian art educator Sheila Greenspan offers a chance to learn the basics of art appreciation in an interactive workshop with gallerists from m97, OV Gallery and ShanghART providing a look behind the scenes of contemporary art.
Class Format
The first hour and a half of the class will be a workshop taught by Sheila Greenspan, the remaining half hour will be a short informal talk by the gallerist with a question and answer session. After class we’ll continue the discussion over a tasty meal at a nearby restaurant.
Topics
Sheila Greenspan will work with participants to help them develop their analytical skills so that they have the ability to talk about and understand art without any prior knowledge of a particular art tradition. The class is very dynamic and involves a great deal of group work and participation.
The gallerists will provide background on contemporary art and collecting. Rebecca Catching will explore trends and movements in contemporary art in Shanghai. Steven Harris will explore trends and movements in photography and talk about the issues of collecting photography including editions and authenticity. Lorenz Helbling will look at the idea of collecting, what collectors have bought in the past and what they haven’t bought in the context of ShanghART’s New Art Warehouse.
