其中，“一场关于上海的当代艺术群展”展出自90年代末，活跃或者展出于这座城市的艺术家及其最能代表这座城市文化气质和特征的作品，从中反映出上海的都市变化与艺术发展，以及不断催生的活力与朝气。
“浏览器#1：新千年上海当代艺术档案”是免费向公众开放的一间阅览室，将以出版物、印刷品、地图和电子数据等形式，再现与这座城市文化血脉相通的展览活动、机构风景，以及各国驻沪文化机构的工作等动态瞬间。

SHANGHAI SURPRISE is curated by Shanghai゜ased Leo Xu and Azure Wu who have spotted and experienced much of the city’s metamorphosis from 2000 to present, during their curatorial stint at local museums and later positions in curating, art dealing and publishing. Inspired by an empathy with a film’s title, this eponymous project is envisioned as a capsule of time and space rather than an encyclopedic gesture.
SHANGHAI SURPRISE comprises two parts, one is an group exhibition featuring works by defining artists, young generation of Chinese and expat authors who bear a strong tie with Shanghai – be it geographically or culturally – and the other a mobile library that captures the transformation of the city’s cultural landscape.
Central to the exhibition is a selection of works that are rarely seen in Shanghai or less exhibited and possibly fading into oblivion after premiere. Being less iconic, this body of works is deemed by the two curators as a distinctive narrative to unfold the last ten years’ production of contemporary art in Shanghai. These works will be complemented by a presentation of recent output by younger Shanghai゜ased artists.
Titled THE SUBSCRIBERS #1: ARCHIVING CONTEMPORARY ART IN SHANGHAI SINCE 2000, the mobile library is scattered across the entire exhibition space and provides access to a rich collection of printed matters and digital resources both documenting the activities of Shanghai゜ased artists, collectives, and programs of institutions, galleries, alternative spaces and cultural councils of foreign consulates in Shanghai.
