That's Shanghai takes a look at the best art exhibitions of the week:
Betty Woodman: 'House and Universe' + Zhao Yang: 'Alaya'
This exhibit brings together the works of American ceramic pottery artist Betty Woodman with the first solo exhibition on the mainland for Chinese painter Zhao Yang. Though the two artists are of different genders, backgrounds, geographical locations, and artistic traditions, their works intersect on themes of “bod," “gesture” and the spaces in which they dwell.
