The exhibition also presents ten documentary videos directed by Shanshan Xia, featuring several major art museums worldwide, and the classic works and artists from various chapters of art history with whom Cai has dialogued. Among these videos is a new documentary short highlighting the Museum of Art Pudong project. An exhibition catalogue will be available at the opening (Sir Simon Schama as the editor-in-chief, produced by Imaginist and published by Beijing Daily Newspaper Publishing House). With nearly 380 pages and over 750 illustrations, the catalogue presents a comprehensive overview of the artist’s Individual’s Journey through Western Art History. It also features A Guide to Cai Guo-Qiang’s Dialogues: 99 Projects and Keywords, the first-ever guide that attempts to synthesize Cai’s expansive artistic output and the fundamental concepts and methodological pursuits behind it.

About Museum of Art Pudong
Museum of Art Pudong (MAP) is located in Lujiazui Central Business District in Shanghai and has been designed by Ateliers Jean Nouvel (AJN).
MAP aims to establish itself as an international cultural landmark for Shanghai and an important platform for global cultural and art communication. MAP will primarily focus on the presentation and exchange of international arts, supplemented by domestic art exhibitions. It hopes to become a destination of choice for artists and visitors from around the world, providing a platform for the presentation of world class art.
MAP intends to complement the existing art museum community in Shanghai. It will enhance Pudong New Area through the creation of fresh opportunities for public access to culture. The establishment of MAP also builds upon Shanghai’s, and especially Pudong New Area's, historical traditions and recent successes.
