RunRun art season comes alive with thought-provoking works

Would you like to see Shanghai through the prism of art?

“RanRan Art Season”, a visual and auditory art exhibition combining various art forms, opened to the public on Wednesday in Xintiandi. What sets him apart is that he invites people to become an integral part of the artwork.

“RanRan” is jointly presented by Xintiandi, a brand of Shui On Xintiandi, and UCCA, a leading contemporary art institution in China, and is the result of a three-year incubation program for young artists.

The program invited curators, artists, scientists, and architects to form an evaluation committee. The shortlist included 15 artists out of 422 candidates. A cultural advisory committee made up of thought leaders from various fields then selected three award winners.

Inspired by the prose of Eileen Chang: “I hurried along the edge of the street; Every step I took was a loud kiss to the ground,” this year’s season theme is “Spark to Shine.”

It includes three sections: the emerging artists exhibition “RunRun”, the Salomon Public Sound Art program “Rising While Listening” and the arts community program “Walk Around”.

These three objects not only connect the outside and inside of Xintiandi, but also create an atmosphere where local culture and artistic expression merge. They invite visitors to stroll through the city and experience the romantic atmosphere between art and the urban environment.

The RunRun Young Artist Exhibition features three of this year’s RunRun Young Artist Award winners, as well as six groups of resident artists.

Reflecting the growing popularity of outdoor activities, RanRan partnered with Salomon to launch a public sound art program called Climbing While Listening. The show encourages viewers to explore the works scattered throughout the public spaces of Shanghai, Greater Xintiandi, and the Salomon flagship store, to activate bodily awareness while transforming the city into an auditory space through the act of “ascension,” and to have a profound and immersive experience. soundscape experience.

The third section of the show, a public program called “Walk Around”, invites users of Xiaohongshu (Red), a Chinese lifestyle and social media platform, and a wide range of art creators to share artistic inspiration based on their observations and creative ideas. taken from personal experience.
