SHANGHAI – Contrasts Gallery is pleased to present SKIN: BINGYI, the artist’s first solo exhibition in Shanghai.

Best Practices in Banana Time with Dr. Rodenberger

Best Practices in Banana Time with Dr. Rodenberger

The talk show will take place in real life (Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center) and in the Soviet-style TV tower on Eyebeam Island in Second Life (3D social networking virtual world) with both a real life audience (you) and virtual audience.
