Rindon Johnson's Pacific Crossing at Rockbund Art Museum

Rindon Johnson's exhibition 'Best Synthetic Answer' at Rockbund Art Museum in Shanghai explores the Pacific Ocean's history through a conceptual sailing journey. The show spans three floors, featuring a Tiffany stained-glass map, an LED screen tracking an avatar's real-time swim from San Francisco to Shanghai, and video essays on colonial exploitation. The project, initially a real sailing plan, was realized digitally for safety. Johnson, a Black American artist, questions how identity and geopolitics intersect across the Pacific. The exhibition runs through April 6.
