Shanghai, China’s most international metropolis, embodies a rare dialogue between tradition and futurism. As a city shaped by its maritime openness and cosmopolitan spirit, it has long served as a gateway connecting China with the world. Today, Shanghai is emerging as a fertile ground and a vital hub for innovation and global collaboration.
The city’s position in the contemporary art market continues to strengthen, with an ever-expanding network of art fairs, museums, and independent spaces that reflect its dynamic cultural landscape. Shanghai offers a vibrant ecosystem of galleries, collectors, and cultural institutions, fostering cross-cultural dialogue and expanding access to the rapidly growing art markets of China and Asia.
The Shanghai Exhibition Center, completed in March 1955, was the first exhibition venue built in Shanghai after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. For over half a century, it has hosted numerous major cultural and international events, welcomed dozens of world leaders, and held hundreds of domestic and international exhibitions. Shanghai Exhibition Center stands as one of the city’s most iconic landmarks.
Situated in the heart of Shanghai - bordered by Nanjing West Road to the north and Yan’an Middle Road to the south - it enjoys a prime and rare central location.
For its second edition, REVELATIONS CHINA will take place across 5,500 square meters within this historic venue.
