What to do and see in Shanghai Region, Shanghai Region: The Best Art Galleries

March 18, 2022 Deane Carmody

Shanghai is the cool, confident face of modern China, and its energy is infectious. Go to the Bund to watch ships on the river and marvel at the huge variety of architectural styles on display, or watch the crowds go by in People’s Square. Shoppers should make a beeline for the Fabric Market, where you can have a suit or dress tailor-made for you at bargain prices. At night, explore all manner of fashionable restaurants, bars and nightclubs, or just stroll through the city enjoying the spectacular neon lights.

ifa Gallery

ifagallery was established in May 2006 in a 700sqm converted textile factory space in Moganshan Road – M50 Creative Centre – Shanghai’s contemporary art district. With a quality exhibition programme of principally Chinese contemporary art, and a supporting line-up of performances the gallery contributed to the dynamism of the area. Major exhibitions during that time include the solo shows of Park Sung-Tae (Korea) and sought-after young artist Liu Bolin (China). In September 2008, ifa relocated to new premises, a charming residence built in 1923 for an official of the British Customs House and then in 2013 on Wanhangdu Road. ifagallery exhibits contemporary art from China and Beyond. The gallery is also oriented towards the work of artists, regardless of origin, that have a specific influence or association with China.
