SH Contemporary 2011上海艺术博览会国际当代艺术展将于2011年9月8日-10日在位于市中心的上海展览中心举办，预览日为9月7日。SH Contemporary 2011与上海界内最重要的画廊和文化机构合作，在展会期间带来为期4天的一系列展览开幕、工作室参观和艺术活动。
作为服务并代表亚洲艺术体系的艺术博览会，SH Contemporary将重点推出扶持研究与创新艺术实践的画廊，展示中国以及亚洲各地改变全球文化版图的艺术创作现状和趋势。
在展会总监Massimo Torrigiani的全新指导下，第五届展会将由两大部分构成, 为藏家及艺术爱好者带来精挑细选的最优秀，最新和最不为人知的亚太地区艺术作品，还包括影像、电影、摄影和新媒体作品。
1. 精选的优秀画廊的艺术展板块（The Art Show），其中包括为首次参加SH Contemporary的年轻画廊与摄影画廊开设的新展商板块（New Entries）。
2. 与Arthub Asia共同合作的SH Contemporary 2011特别项目包括以下三个部分：
· 首届展览（First Issue），该展览推出在2010-2011年举办首次个展的亚太艺术家。
· 热点（Hot Spots），展出重要艺术家的大型作品。
· 视频休息区（The Video Lounge），与最重要的中国当代艺术出版物《艺术界》合办。
此外，SH Contemporary将设立亚太摄影奖（The Asia Pacific Photography Prize）——由画廊推荐其成名艺术家与新兴艺术家，国际评审团由摄影家、编辑、策展人和评论家组成。
SH Contemporary将再次像纽约古根汉美术馆资深策展人Alexandra Munroe评价的那样，“比该地域范围内任何展会更尖锐，更年轻，更丰富，更具实践性。”
SH Contemporary展会由上海市国际文化传播协会促进，上海艺术博览会组委会，东上海国际文化影视集团，联袂意大利博罗尼亚展览集团旗下的BF International Fairs Srl公司共同主办。博罗尼亚展览集团是欧洲展览会主办机构的领头羊之一，是主办大型高品质生活方式展会的资深专家，在美国、俄罗斯及中国涉有分支机构。在中国，该集团已成为了主要外方展会主办者之一。
Massimo Torrigiani是Boiler Corporation的创始人之一兼总经理，该公司是一家从事有关当代视觉艺术与文化的出版企业与创意机构，在米兰与纽约出版发行季刊摄影杂志Fantom - Photographic Quarterly。Torrigiani先生曾担任国际性艺术杂志Boiler的编辑以及意大利生活时尚杂志Rodeo的主编。他曾开展有关文化政策与城市形成发展之间关系的学术研究，在意大利及其它国家举办各类艺术活动与论坛，并担任众多出版、时尚与设计公司的战略公关顾问。Torrigiani先生于1966年出身于意大利巴里市，现居住于米兰市。
作为一个非营利当代艺术机构，Arthub Asia旨在推广亚洲当代艺术创作，该机构由专业策展人及制作人队伍Davide Quadrio乐大豆, Defne Ayas 以及邱志杰领衔。通过与美术馆及其它私人、公共艺术机构合作，Arthub Asia持续与行为艺术家以及新媒体艺术家进行交流，从而创造并推出项目。
在上一届的展会中，来自于亚太地区及欧美地区的画廊都有不俗销售。上海当代再次巩固了其在亚太地区极富实践性与持续性的博览会地位。
近30,000名观众涌入场馆，来自国际和亚洲的藏家，艺术专业人士以及来自中央美术学院，今日美术馆（北京），福冈美术馆，泰特美术馆（伦敦），纽约现代美术馆，古根汉美术馆（纽约），昆士兰美术馆，新加坡美术馆的世界知名艺术学者同83家画廊汇聚一堂。

The 2011 edition of SH Contemporary - the most prestigious contemporary art fair in mainland China - will take place from September 8th to 10th, with preview on the 7th, in downtown Shanghai, at the extraordinary Shanghai Exhibition Center, and with a joint 4-day programme of openings, studio visits and events, in cooperation with the city’s leading galleries and cultural initiatives.
Mirroring the Asia Pacific art systems in the city that is the hub of the region, the fair highlights the work of galleries that promote innovative practices and research and nurture the creative movements that are crossing China and Asia, changing the global cultural landscape.
Under the new direction of Massimo Torrigiani, the 2011 edition is organized into 2 main sections, providing visitors with a selection of cutting-edge and emerging art, including video, film, photography and new media.
1. The Art Show, for selected established galleries, and a New Entries section for emerging art and photography galleries, participating to the fair for the first time.
2. SH Contemporary Projects, organized in cooperation with Arthub Asia and including 3 different curatorial platforms:
- Hot Spots: large scale works produced for the spaces of the fair.
- First Issue, featuring Asia Pacific artists who had their first show in 2010-2011.
- The Video Lounge, co-hosted by Leap magazine, one of the most important publications on Chinese Contemporary Art.
Moreover, SH Contemporary 2011 will host the launch of the new Asia Pacific Art Photography Prize - for established and new artists presented by their galleries - awarded by an international jury of photographers, editors, curators and critics.
SH Contemporary will be once again as Alexandra Munroe - senior curator on Asian Art at the Solomon Guggenheim Museum in New York - described it: “messier, edgier, younger, and more experimental” than any other Asian art fair.

Bolognafiere Group is one of Europe's leading fair organizers and experts in large-scale exclusive lifestyle fairs.

In collaboration with museums and other public and private spaces and institutions, Arthub Asia initiates and delivers projects through a sustained dialogue with performance and new media artists.
The previous edition saw strong sales from both Asian and Western galleries, while the fair confirmed its position as Asia’s most progressive fair.
