18Gallery

Enticed by a thumbnail picture in the event listing for Icon Tada's exhibition, I decided to check out 18Gallery at Bund 18. The exhibition seemed to have elements of things that I like: geometric shapes, clean lines, and a harmony of colors. The Pudong skyline loomed ahead as I reached the Bund and I quickly scurried into the cool building to avoid all the noise and dust of the construction outside. 18Gallery is on the fourth floor, attached to Lounge 18, which incidentally is closed for renovations until September. Open and airy, I browsed through the artwork. I wouldn't mind having one of the pieces in my home, but with the prices ranging from 4 to 5 digits, it wasn't meant to be. On the way out, I took the stairs instead of the elevator and saw an interesting installation made of rusty bicycles.
