A silver lining in a global crisis
The third-phase climax of the biennale, covering eight months in total, will see the exhibition run at the PSA and expand throughout the city of Shanghai from April 17 to July 25.
The long duration and unique form will help the biennale "radically infiltrate into the city", as there has been huge need for creation and imagination to be placed, Jaque says.
Aside from the PSA, a series of branch exhibitions for Bodies of Water are going on in the city, such as Sunke Villa on Yan'an Road West, Vanke Center Xinmin Library in the suburban Xinzhuang area and Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
Among the events related to the main exhibition, Bodies of Water, at Biblioteca Miguel de Cervantes, the cultural branch of the Spanish consulate in Shanghai, a branch exhibition is being held. This features a new interactive video creation by Hu Jieming, and the video record of a concert for plants at Teatro del Liceo de Barcelona in August when the country was under lockdown. This was designed by Spanish artist Eugenio Ampudia.
