German artist Martin Klimas' first solo show in China comprises his two series: Kung Fu Warriors (2004-08) and his latest, Foulard (2011). Kung Fu Warriors centers on dropping the Chinese made martial art figurines from 3 meters high and capturing, with his camera, the powerful and unique ways they explode, cementing the fighting style as "temporary sculpture". Foulard expands on the idea of those energetic warriors, adding high-quality silk scarves for a thematic background to emphasize ambivalent nature between two- and three-dimensionality.
June 22-July 22. Other Gallery. Shanghai Space, Building 9, 50 Moganshan Lu, Shanghai. 021-3353-2273.
