|
60-Minute HD Documentary (2008)
Discover Shanghai’s contemporary art scene through the eyes of two San Francisco gallery owners. Mark and Susan explore China's most populous and cosmopolitan city, all the while in search of emerging artists. They gallery hop from the swanky French Concession to the artsy Moganshan warehouse district, and witness Shanghai’s complexity and contradictions–elements that feed the imaginations of the city's artists.
China has changed seemingly overnight, and Shanghai's contemporary artists express and capture the impact of this rapid transformation. So, will one of these gifted artists visit San Francisco and exhibit their work in Mark Wolfe Contemporary Art gallery? Watch Seeking Art in Shanghai to find out.
