Fondation Cartier Brings Major Exhibition to Shanghai's Power Station of Art
'A Beautiful Elsewhere,' an exhibition featuring 100 pieces from the 1,500-item collection of the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain, has launched at the Power Station of Art (PSA) in Shanghai. Curated by Herve Chandes, Fei Dawei, and Gong Yan, this showcase runs until July 24, 2018, and includes works by notable artists such as Daido Moriyama and David Lynch. This event aligns with the Croisements festival. Shanghai is becoming a significant center for contemporary art, with the Pompidou Centre Shanghai set to debut in 2019 and Emmanuel Perrotin planning to open a gallery there in September 2018. Additionally, PSA features a retrospective of Christian Boltanski, while private museums and galleries are proliferating in the city.
