Colin Chinnery moves on from ShContemporary

Colin Chinnery has moved on from ShContemporary to devote more time to his own work, but will remain involved with the fair working as an advisor. Chinnery introduced a fresh vision to Shanghai's international art fair enabling it to become a producer of ideas as well an Asian outpost of the art market. His recent fair included Discoveries: Re-Value a thematic exhibition highlighting the confrontation between different ideas of artistic and commercial value and a conference co-organised with Hou Hanru on the theme Collecting Asian Art: What, When and How?

Chinnery will be replaced by Massimo Torrigiani, co-founder and director of Boiler Corporation, a publishing company and creative agency focused on contemporary visual art and culture, which also produces the Milan and New York-based Fantom - Photographic Quarterly.
