Renowned artist Ji Yunfei has been living in America for the past two decades; his first Chinese solo exhibition comes to a close this Sunday at James Cohan Gallery.

The installation features his latest paintings and print works, such as the 10-meter long scroll Sanxia [Three Gorges] Immigrants that he created for the New York Museum of Modern Arts.

The Lost and Forgotten Languages of Shanghai is a debut novel with great promise

Shanghai Ballet has a packed schedule this month: Aug 24-25, they're presenting The Last Mission of Marco Polo, Swan Lake is on Aug 27-28 and In The Mood for Love will be Aug 30-31 as well as Sep 3-4.

That’s Shanghai peeked in on the backstage lives of some of the pros.

Inspired by Karl Marx’s critique of capitalism of the same name, Shanghai Dramatic Arts Center put full theatrical gusto into bringing the work to life on stage.

The Capital is showing daily now through Aug. 29 at Majestic Theater, 7.30pm, RMB100-580 (6473 0123)

“Who wants to control the capital? Who wants to owe wealth? Who wants to be the master of money?” The Capital explains all, with plenty of humor along the way.

Leading actor Xu Zheng talked to That’s Shanghai about the makings of a play based on a economic literary work.

Marx’s The Capital as a drama … how does that work?
Yeah, of course! In the last 30 years, due to the reform and opening-up of the economy, this is one of the most popular topics today. Especially considering the economic crisis in 2008, at that time The Capital sold out at bookstores overnight. It’s an interesting phenomena, our producer Yang Shaolin thought so and decided to adapt it to drama.
