Qiu Yun, a spokeswoman for Tank Space, said the new center aims to build a platform that can bring together elements of nature, the city and contemporary art.

"Our target audience is the public. We hope everybody can appreciate art and enjoy it."

The Yuz Museum, founded by Budi Tek, a Chinese-Indonesian entrepreneur, philanthropist and art collector, covers 9,000 square meters and used to be a hangar that was part of Longhua Airport. The main gallery covers 3,000 square meters, making it an ideal location for showcasing large installations and interactive projects such as Rain Room in 2015.

Rain Room, created by Random International, an experimental art studio in London and Berlin, is a space featuring falling water that visitors can walk freely through while remaining dry. The installation was also exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Barbican Centre in London, but the version staged in Shanghai was the largest.

After drawing thousands of visitors to this unique installation three years ago, the artists are now back with their first solo exhibition in Asia, titled Everything & Nothing, which is on at the Yuz Museum until Oct 14. It features new works alongside established pieces created by Random International, which dabbles with new interactive technologies to create experimental experiences.
