Fodor's Expert Review OCT Contemporary Art Terminal
Shenzhen
Surrounded by the OCT Loft's trendy cafés and bars, this is where you'll find works from well-regarded artists from Beijing and beyond. A cluster of exhibition halls and venues, the OCT Art Terminal hosts the Shenzhen Sculpture Biennale (usually in May) and the annual "New Works #1" exhibition, as well as artist-in-residence programs, live music, multimedia installations, and dance performances. The crown jewel is the OCT Art & Design Gallery (closed Monday), a massive glass-and-steel renovated warehouse, which champions contemporary art and aims to further graphic, fashion, and digital design in China.
