ShanghArt Gallery, founded by Swiss gallerist Lorenz Helbling, has opened a new venue at the old Nanpu Railway Station in Shanghai, marking its fourth location alongside ShanghArt M50 in Shanghai, Beijing, and Singapore. Situated in the West Bund Financial Hub area, the new “ShanghArt WB Central” venue was designed by Hangzhou-based architects GOA Headquarters and comprises 500-square meters above ground and another 700-square meters underground. Helbling stated that the move was prompted by the end of the gallery’s five-year lease at its previous West Bund headquarters, where several galleries were evicted in June. The venue’s inaugural exhibition is a group show titled “In Harmony With The Way,” featuring works by eight young artists—some making their debut at ShanghArt—that will run until September 22.
