No More Mono exhibition @ Liangdian Design Center
Showcasing young photographers and fashion designers, No More Mono presents a mix of photographs and video installations that speak to the wealth of influences impacting young Chinese artists. Seemingly contrasting ideas become one: an eccentric, knitted getup against a countryside background; an elegant gown in the midst of a traditional Chinese town - in 3D-effect. Get lost in the imaginative show, as well as the Liangdian Design Center, a vast, eight-story gallery, cafe and studio space.
When: Until March 7
Where: No.94 Dongsi Shitiao, Dongcheng district
