"Shortly before the opening day of the exhibition, the whole team was working day and night, including the artists."
"You can't imagine how frequently I went to THE INLET to decide which public location to use and what kind of artwork could be put there," Wong said. The meaning of a work of art comes from everyone's own understanding of how it is viewed," said Ruan Jun, vice director of Liu Haisu Art Museum.īut for Wong, this is a big project with a limited budget and tight schedule. "Here, art does not belong to the artist or the owner, but rather, to the public. "Different from the serious displays at many museums, the art here is not just a static work, but a multi-dimensional block that guides the public to experience the life of art and the art of life. Supported by Art Pioneer Studio, the Young Boundless Creation Center, Liu Haisu Art Museum and Su Shanghai, the project is spearheaded by the Chongbang Group, developer of THE INLET. "I have good memories of Sichuan Road, and I wanted to fuse some artistic flavor into it." "That was the main reason for me to take over this special project," said Robin Wong, the exhibition's curator. However, in the past two decades, it seems the Sichuan Road area has been ignored by local trendsetters, despite the fact that literary giants, including Lu Xun (1881-1936), Qu Qiubai (1899-1935) and Guo Moruo (1892-1978), once lived in "the cradle of Shanghai culture," as it was previously known. THE INLET consists of 60 shikumen (stone-gate) buildings and eight detached mansions, most a century old. The pink panda, by Yuan Kan, bends over the outside window at the Sichuan Road N.
