The Chinese artist Zhao Zhao borrows motifs and imagery from different places and different times. He was born in 1982 and grew up in China, where he began his career as Ai Weiwei’s assistant. Like his teacher, he’s become a formidable generational figure—Ai is a Boomer; Zhao, a millennial—and his work, too, was quickly branded nonconformist and subversive. Zhao uses Chinese and Tibetan texts, paints constellations, and burns tapestries. This exhibition, his first large-scale survey in Shanghai, includes his most important work from the last few years—paintings, installations, and sculpture. —Elena Clavarino
