Contractual art
A group of contemporary artists are presenting a site-specific art event-exhibition at a construction site near Hangzhou's West Lake. They invited real workers to activate their creativity, and bring independent ideas and visual vim to the works. Participants locally obtained materials. Everything that happens during the process will become part of the event. Shanghai's Shanghart Gallery helped organize the show.
