'Things from the Gallery Warehouse' is an ongoing exhibition project initiated by Shanghart in 2009. Every winter, this exhibition series showcases art works which have been shown in past major exhibitions, biennials and museum scenarioed projects and since have been rarely shown in shanghart's 3000 square metres warehouse (ShanghART Taopu Warehouse). Those hidden works produced by artists who germinated in diversified occasions will be re-located under a distinctive context, which are overt to be contemplated.
