ArtReview Asia is in Shanghai for the fourth edition of West Bund Art & Design, which opens to the public tomorrow at West Bund Art Center. Momentarily leaving aside ArtReview Asia Xiàn Chǎng, a programme of solo projects, curated by ArtReview Asia, by a global array of artists (which it assures you is excellent), ArtReview Asia has gathered here a selection of some of the other fine offerings exhibited by galleries elsewhere in the fair (plus – it couldn’t resist – two of these solo projects)…
