Art beat in March

Works of sensuality

French artist Aima St. Hunon is displaying her work in China for the first time. The 34-year-old artist works through various expressions: sculpture, painting, ceramics, collage, printing, video and performance. Her art is focused on the definition and expression of sensuality and femininity as connected to the cosmos. Today, her creation is a homage to the eternal female that resides at the core of each human being. Her sculptures want to awaken the goddess that sleeps in each woman. They aspire to harmony, peace and love.

10 am-6 pm, March 15-May 11. Philippe Staib Gallery, 4-102 M 50, 50 Moganshan Lu (Road), Shanghai, 021-6298-0729.

Artists challenged

Mind Beating-Beijing, the Parallel Exhibition of the 55th Venice Biennial, is in Beijing. With 18 renowned Chinese artists, including Chen Danqing, Liu Xiaodong and Yu Hong, the exhibition displays the artworks of artists who have created pieces outside their regular mediums, defying aesthetic stereotypes, including videos, installations and paintings.

9 am-5 pm, until March 29. The Contemporary Art Museum, south square of China Millennium Monument, Jia 9, Fuxing Lu (Road), Haidian district, Beijing. 010-5980-2222.

Between the lines

The ongoing exhibition Between the Lines at Art Plus Shanghai Gallery features two artists: Chen Linggang and Liang Weiyuan. The relative order and simplicity of Chen Linggang and Liang Weiyuan's work belie complex strands of thought and grounding in cultural history, offering a way to see through and read history in forms. By questioning the process of art-where it begins, where it ends-the joint exhibition offers representations of thought on canvas that shape a wandering visual discourse.

11 am-7 pm, Tue-Sun, until Apr 20. Art + Shanghai Gallery, Embankment Building, 1F, 370 Suzhou Lu (Road) North, Shanghai, 021-5608-6067.
