This marks the first time Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain is exhibiting in China. Some 100 works from artists around the world are on display – a selection of which was commissioned especially for the exhibition.

Expect to see artworks encompassing mediums from photography to sculpture, and even an installation by a bioacoustician. Works by up-and-coming artists, such as Gao Shan, Hu Liu and Li Yongbin, are showcased next to works by veteran Chinese artists Cai Guo-Qiang and Huang Yong Ping, evidence of Fondation Cartier’s commitment to highlighting young talent. The exhibition runs until July 29 at Power Station of Art.
