Shanghai's Museum of Art Pudong is set to unveil two exhibitions, Dialogues with Turner: Evoking the Sublime and El Anatsui: After the Red Moon, during the upcoming National Day holiday.

Presented by Shanghai Lujiazui Group, these exhibitions are organized by MAP and Tate, a renowned institution comprising four art galleries in the United Kingdom, encompassing Tate Modern, Tate Britain, Tate St Ives, and Tate Liverpool.

Dialogues with Turner: Evoking the Sublime will showcase around 80 original works by Joseph Mallord William Turner, the celebrated English Romantic painter, printmaker, and watercolorist known for his expressive coloring, imaginative landscapes, and tumultuous marine paintings.

This exhibition aims to delve into Turner's artistic legacy. It will feature a forum bringing together over 10 distinguished contemporary artists, including Katie Paterson, Richard Long, and Olafur Eliasson, to explore the profound impact of Turner's work. The exhibition is scheduled to run from Oct 1 to May 10, 2025.

Meanwhile, Tate's exhibition El Anatsui: After the Red Moon presents a monumental sculptural installation crafted from thousands of metal bottle tops and fragments. By crumpling, crushing, and stitching these materials into various compositions, the artist creates large panels that form expansive abstract fields of color, shape, and line.

El Anatsui, a highly influential Ghanian sculptor born in 1944, has been active in Nigeria for a significant portion of his career. He was honored with the Golden Lion for lifetime achievement at the 2015 Venice Biennale. This exhibition is set to run from Sept 30 of this year to Oct 7, 2025.

Starting from Oct 1, visitors will have the opportunity to explore multiple exhibitions at MAP using a single ticket. To enhance individual experiences, daily designated tickets will be available in limited quantities, ensuring that each visitor can fully immerse themselves in the artistic wonders on display.
