Xu Zhen, Folkert de Jong, and Martha Colburn , Xu Zhen ShanghART Supermarket

James Cohan Gallery is pleased to open our fall season with three separate exhibitions. Chinese conceptualist Xu Zhen will transform the front gallery into a replica of a Shanghai convenience store, as he did previously for Art Basel Miami Beach 2007. With all packages for sale at Chinese prices, yet empty of their contents, Zhen’s installation is a project in which the rules of the game for both art and the global market are—seemingly—collapsed.
