Exhibition, Poster, Brochure To harmoniously and appropriately display the exhibition style of “Being Andy Warhol”, this imperfect and hand-made font was used in advertisements and activities related to the atmosphere during the exhibition period.

City on the Edge
激浪之城

2021
Exhibition, Poster, Brochure “City on the Edge: Art and Shanghai at the Turn of the Millennium” is the opening exhibition of UCCA Edge. Almost all the artists included in the exhibition appeared in the seminal first Shanghai Biennale and contributed to the subsequent development of Chinese contemporary art. The exhibition "City on the Edge“ also echoes that biennale and the 2007 UCCA opening exhibition in Beijing, “’85 New Wave: The Birth of Chinese Contemporary Art.”

From this, the concept of “blueprint” was determined to be used as the main visual of the exhibition, flattening the UCCA Edge venue building and becoming an element of the drawing. This blueprint is not only a response to the history of contemporary Chinese art, but also UCCA’s plan and outlook for the future.

「激浪之城：世纪之交的艺术与上海」 是 UCCA Edge 的开馆展，展览包含的艺术家几乎都在影响深远的首届上海双年展上出现过，并促成了之后中国当代艺术的发展。展览 「激浪之城」 也呼应了那届双年展以及 2007 年 UCCA 在北京的开馆展 「85新潮：中国第一次当代艺术运动」。

由此 「蓝图」 的概念被确定用于展览主视觉，将 UCCA Edge 场馆建筑平面化，成为图纸上的元素。这个蓝图不仅是对过去那段关于中国当代艺术历史的回应，也是 UCCA 对未来的计划和展望。
