BEIJING

Small-sized works

Micro, an exhibition now at the Dadu Museum of Art, shows 29 oil paintings that Chinese artists created from the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) to the mid-20th century. The mostly medium-and small-sized works demonstrate painters at that time already had profound understanding of the Western art form, and they were rather bold to add Eastern painting elements. The paintings also show the differences in applying colors and composition among the painters who studied in Europe, Japan, the former Soviet Union and at home.

9:30 am-5:30 pm, closed on Mondays, until May 10. Dadu Museum of Art, 28 Guozijian Jie (Street), Dongcheng district. 010-5693-7555.

Galaxy on display

Yuz Museum is hosting its second grand exhibition, Myth/History II: Shanghai Galaxy. Curated by Wu Hung, the show has combined group and solo exhibition methods to explore some basic trends and ideas in contemporary art creation and narrative. The clash and tension between life and death run through many of the artworks, catalyzing the entire exhibition space.

Through July 12. Yuz Museum, 35 Fenggu Lu (Road), Xuhui district. 021-6210-5207.

Power of life

Hu Junjun's solo show Living with Impermanence displays 10 oil paintings from her 24 Dynasties series, in which she named each work for a dynasty in Chinese history. She painted countless green squares in a crisscross style as the base. Above that she painted tree trunks and bare branches, based on the photos she took from the perspective of looking up. The works give a feeling of quietness, while after a long gaze, viewers will feel the infinite power of life underneath these seemingly weary trees. Hu, 44, and a Shanghai native, dropped out of college to be a poet and painter in Beijing. She lived in New York from 1998 to 2005 before returning to Shanghai.

10:30 am-5:30 pm, closed on Mondays, until April 17. Tokyo Gallery+BTAP Beijing, E02 Taoci San Jie, 798 art zone, 4 Jiuxianqiao Lu (Road), Chaoyang district. 010-5978-4838.

SHANGHAI

Robot veggies

Fly Me to the Moon is an original project by French artist Ludo. The exhibition groups a series of works on canvas around a specific pattern, also sculptures and a video about his adventure in Shanghai in its "work in progress". Born in 1976 in Paris, Ludo sticks up his gigantic vegetable-robotics creatures in the whole world's streets since 2007, and his work has been exhibited since 2013 at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. Ludo talks about our environment and about what touches us, with some humility.

11 am-6 pm, Tuesday to Sunday, through May 16. Magda Gallery Shanghai, 188 Linqing Lu (Road), Yangpu district. 0186-1674-8872.
