Exhibition pays tribute to city's hardest working
The city's iconic skyscrapers.
An art exhibition paying tribute to ordinary working people has opened with Labor Day, which falls on May 1, just around the corner.
"Chasing Light" opened on Friday at the Pudong Worker's Cultural Palace, and will be there to June 30.
Renowned contemporary Chinese artists such as Sun Liang, Dong Xiaoming and Wang Jieyin use paintings, installations and other art forms to honor the spirit of those who put in the hours, and their important role in social development.
Highly-recommended exhibits include a series co-created by photographer Guo Yi and pianist Kong Xiangdong.
Guo trained his camera lens on medical staff who work on the frontline and took black and white pictures of their faces. Kong asked every one of them to randomly tap four keys, from which he composed a piece of music for everyone.
