I decided to visit Shanghai on the bullet train as I wanted to see the architecture there. I had no idea when I arrived that it would be like Blade Runner or Fritz Lang’s Metropolis. It’s a totally immense place with 16 lane roads almost flying through skyscrapers all around. Getting a taxi from the futuristic, upside down art gallery (The China Art Museum), built for the Expo in 2010 was really exciting.
Behind the gallery is a UFO type building, the Mercedes Benz Arena. I really liked seeing that. It’s going to feature in some of my sculptures.
Whilst there I also went to Museum of Contemporary Art Shanghai which had a great Kusama show on.
