Sao Paulo 🇧🇷 Pina Museum | Cao Fei: The future is not a dream

🏠 Pina Contemporânea 🗺️ Av. Tiradentes, 273 - Luz, São Paulo - SP, 01101-010 🎥 Cao Fei's Exhibition: The Future Is Not a Dream Visited on March 9th—this showcase by Chinese artist Cao Fei runs through April 14th in São Paulo. 🌐 Art Meets Reality: A Chinese Lens on Progress Gone are the days I thought art existed in an ivory tower. Cao Fei’s work roots itself in China’s real-world narratives: Metaverse explorations Documentaries of 2018 Double Eleven shopping festivals Rural-urban migration stories Labor 解放 through home appliance evolution even JD Logistics’ supply chain operations 🎬 Standout Installations RMB City: A surreal video collage blending iconic Chinese symbols—giant pandas, Tiananmen, CCTV Tower, Oriental Pearl Tower—into a stream-of-consciousness montage. Metaverse-themed videos featuring Douyin (TikTok) aesthetics and a surprise cameo by Wutiao Ren band. Bold use of "down-to-earth" elements (think grassroots Chinese internet culture) in a South American gallery—refreshingly unpolished compared to the usual "showcase China" narratives. 🏛️ Design Details White walls with green baseboards—a color scheme familiar to anyone who grew up in Chinese schools or hospitals. Fascinating how this backdrop shapes the viewing experience differently for Chinese vs. Brazilian audiences. ⏳ Visit Tips Allocate extra time—many pieces are video installations. Free admission on Saturdays! Happy art-viewing! #ArtExhibition #CaoFei #ContemporaryArt #ExhibitionReview #GlobalCulture #SãoPauloArt
