Ah,
let us be direct, and grow toward the very center.
With that original resolve in my heart, I ponder.
So may the Jiayuanhai Art Museum, above all, meld with the encircling woods and living green.
— Tadao Ando
啊，就这样直截了当地，
向中心发展吧，
我怀着这样的初心思考着。
所以希望嘉源海美术馆，
首先要与周边的树林、绿色融为一体。

[1] 15th Shanghai Biennale
Does the flower hear the bee?(Extended version)
2025.11.08-2026.03.31
Conceived in dialogue with the ideas of artists, curators, intellectuals, musicians, poets, scientists, and writers, Does the flower hear the bee? recognizes that much depends on our capacity to sense the world around us and attune ourselves to its diverse array of intelligences. Its hopeful vision rests on art’s ability to orient us towards an unknown future.
[2] Landscapes of Futures Past
2025.07.17-2025.09.21
An exhibition of contemporary video art, digital animation, installation, and traditional artistic media such as tapestry and painting, reframed through the lens of our digitized era. The exhibition unfolds as a visual journey through the terrains and multiverses of time and space.
[3] Chen Zhou: A Vision of Retreat
2025.04.05-2025.06.29
No talking, no internet—Chen Zhou designed a ten-day retreat experiment inside the museum. Friends and visitors were invited to play chess in the tea room—escaping, together, from the illness of information overload.
[4] Shen Shaomin, Rice: Verses for the Hungry Soul
Curator: Wu Hong
2024.11.03-2025.03.02
In his first series focused on rice, Shen Shaomin explores its profound connections to art, history, science, and the essence of the Chinese spirit.
[5] Tadao Ando: Dialogues
2024.04.30-2024.09.01
The exhibition centers around the theme of “dialogue” and unfolds in four chapters: Primitive Shapes of Light, Thinking of Place, Symbiosis with Nature, and Rethinking Time.
A place to slow down, reconnect with the land, and experience culture in everyday life—where we explore the spirit of China and invite new ways of engaging with the world.
Experience art,
land,
and food.
