Eastlink Gallery is pleased to announce that Canadian art educator Sheila Greenspan is returning to Shanghai and once again offering her very popular program ”Looking at Contemporary Art” this spring. This course is NOT a lecture course or a guided museum tour–rather it is a facilitated visit to galleries and contemporary museums which allows participants to develop their own skills in looking at art. Sheila has developed a unique art appreciation methodology that is designed to help viewers actively engage with contemporary art through a series of practical and simple visual and curating exercises that encourages responses and discussion among the group. The methodology is geared to teaching visual literacy skills and showing participants that they can enjoy and analyze art without a tour guide, even if they are not trained in art history. Five weekly sessions will be offered starting February 14 and we will visit current exhibitions in galleries and contemporary museums in Shanghai. For example, M50, MOCA, Zendai, Duolon, Bund Galleries. The course runs from 11a.m. to 3p.m.. We all meet for lunch near our designated venue where we discuss our observations and other issues in contemporary art. (The price of lunch is not included) Please contact Kate via eastlinkgallery@gmail.com for registration. Place: Eastlink Gallery F5, Bldg 6, 50 Moganshan Lu (for the first session) Time: Tuesdays 11:00 to 3pm, February 14 to March 13 Cost: 750 RMB (total for 5 sessions, or RMB200 for individual session)
