Boers-Li Gallery (Beijing/New York) brought a 12-channel video installation by ZHANG PEILI, titled Uncertain Pleasure (III)
The fourth West Bund Art and Design fair opened on November 10 in a cavernous, converted aircraft factory in the burgeoning art district west of Shanghai’s Huangpu River. The event was a major anchor in the city’s annual art week, which saw a flurry of exhibition openings at nearby institutions including Yuz Museum, Pond Society, Shanghai Center of Photography and Qiao Space, bringing together diverse groups of guests from across the world. While galleries slowly gathered sales momentum on the first day, many exhibitors were still holding their breaths at the evening’s close, planning for a long game in an exciting but unstable corner of the Chinese market.
