Moganshan is Shanghai's answer to Beijing's 798 art district. A great idea, with plenty of galleries jostling for sales. Quite commercial. 798 is now also.
Designated a Tripple-A Tourist site.
This building #1, above, said to have been built originally in 1938.
Scene above from the video The Night Man Commeth by Yang Fudong, 2011.
Installation above by Geng Jiangyi, The Content Is Disturbed by its Shadow, 2011. The viewer looks through a pinhole at the set piece, a domestic living room scene covered by aluminum foil.
From M50 Gallery.

This indoor hallway (above) is packed with galleries and stores carrying works by local artists.
The most interesting works at Moganshan? The graffiti on the walls outside. Refreshing. One of the few places true graffiti is allowed. Or is it just outdoor art?
