With the joint support of the Shanghai's Power Station of Art and the CHANEL Culture Fund, architect Chen Donghua's exhibition project "The Shape of Shadow" won the second season of the Next Cultural Producer project. Chen Donghua focuses on the "shadows" that often appear in public spaces. Born and raised in southern China, Chen Donghua understands the importance of shaded spaces for people to rest in hot and humid weather. As the curator, Chen Donghua selected ten architectural projects scattered throughout the Southern China region for this exhibition. These projects are rooted in their cultural environments, and the shadows they construct are not just decorative elements derived from aesthetics, but are closely related to the bodily sensations of the building users.
在上海当代艺术博物馆与香奈儿文化基金的联合支持下,建筑师陈东华的展览计划《影之道》在“新文化制作人”项目第二季中胜出。陈东华将目光聚焦到中国南方集体空间中常常出现的“阴影”。出生与成长在中国南方,陈东华明白一处可供人们在湿热天气休憩的阴影空间的重要性。策展人陈东华为本次展览选取了十个散布于华南地域的建筑项目,这些项目扎根于其所处的人文环境,它们所构造的地表阴影并不只是从美学出发的装饰元素,还与建筑使用者的身体感受息息相关。
