Shanshui Action: Shanshui Moving Image Installation Art Exhibition (Shanghai Stop)

“Shanshui Action: Shanshui Moving Image Installation Art Exhibition (Shanghai Stop)” will be held from March 20 to May 10, 2026 at the Being Art Museum (No. 135 Hongfeng Road, Shanghai, China). This exhibition will display the comprehensive art works based on shanshui moving images, which have been created since 2017 by the shanshui moving image creating collective led by artist Gao Shiqiang, who is the professor and depuyy head of the School of Intermedia Art from China Academy of Art. The collective regards shanshui as an art of worldview, and has been carrying out moving image creating practices across China for nearly 10 years. Taking multiple digital imaging technologies as their primary medium, they engage in contemporary shanshui art creation, accumulating shanshui experiences and revitalizing shanshui spirit. The collective has been collaborating with many researchers in the field, seeking to comprehensively revisit, explore, and reflect on the shanshui gene in Chinese civilization, imagining the possibilities of surmounting the Anthropocene crisis and Shanshuification of the world. Shanshui evokes spontaneous joy that transcends languages, fostering communicating and understanding between people and between the human and the cosmos. It is a sincere and profound gift from China to the most extensive circle of friends all around the world. The exhibition, funded as a 2025 Communication and Promotion Project by the National Arts Fund, debuted at the China Academy of Art Museum from August 12 to October 18, 2025. It will continue its tour at Wuhan Unites Art Museum from June to July 2026, after its Shanghai tour concludes.
