Janet Laurence’s installation at Continuous Regeneration

JANET LAURENCE is exhibiting a version of 'Desire, Elixir Lab' at Columbia Circle in Shanghai. Continuous Regeneration, an exhibition on sustainability, sees 30 world-renowned artists and designers address the issue of environmental protection.

Columbia Circle is a historical compound built in the 1920s during Shanghai's grand epoch. It used to house, among other things, the Columbia Country Club, a popular hangout for the American elite society in the ‘30s & ‘40s including a clubhouse, gym and outdoor pool. Having sat vacant for years, the site is now being renewed by OMA Architecture and is fast becoming a prominent public space in Shanghai again, full of commercial and cultural activities, restaurants and creative business.

Continuous Regeneration is an exhibition committed to creating an organic and interactive space to deeply explore the environmental and ecological issues facing the world today, with the hope of triggering public concern and action.

The exhibition will run until 16 February.
