Cragg's art

Tony Cragg came to prominence in the late 1970s for his works composed of brightly colored plastic objects. Focusing mainly on his art from the past 15 years, this exhibition features around 50 major sculptures and more than 100 drawings. This exhibition was first staged in the summer of 2011 at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh. Although Cragg has shown individual works in China, this is the first opportunity for a Chinese audience to explore his art in depth.

Windows project

The British Council is collaborating with The Royal Institute of British Architects and Shui On Land to deliver a series of eye-catching architectural window installations in Shanghai as part of the UK Now festival that celebrates London's Olympic year.

Using the same model as the Regent Street Windows project, which partnered architects with retailers on London's Regent Street, the Shanghai Windows Project will match nine London architects with nine prominent retailers to design and create eye-catching displays on the theme of "play".
