SHANGHAI—"ShContemporary will have quite a fresh and experimental feel," the fair’s new director, Colin Chinnery, says of its third edition, at the palatial Shanghai Exhibition Center from September 10 through 13. Chinnery has invited Mami Kataoka, a curator with Tokyo’s Mori Art Museum; e-flux founder Anton Vidokle; and Chinese video artist Wang Jianwei to curate "Discovering Contemporary." The exhibition showcases significant artists from the past two decades, such as Teppei Kaneuji, of Japan, and Sanggil Kim, of South Korea. ShContemporary’s main section, the "Best of Galleries," returns with works by established Asian artists, including Yu Hong’s Us Two: Yu Hong and Zhao Bo 2, 2007, and Zhang Hui’s Downward-Blind Road, 2009, which can be found at Beijing’s Long March Space. James Cohan Gallery, of New York and Shanghai, is back for the third consecutive year, offering tapestry works by Fred Tomaselli and Beatriz Milhazes. "Shanghai has great character," says Arthur Solway, director of Cohan’s Shanghai branch. "It’s a sophisticated city with a sophisticated audience."
