Gallery Watch: Diary of an Empty City, Orange Blue, Antoine Poncet, Chinawear, and Flow

As always, our beautiful city is full of events and goings-on, but art exhibitions are easily overlooked as there are so many opening, it can be hard to miss them. These are our selections for those looking for places to soak up art during the next few weeks. Make sure to get there before the exhibitions close!
 

Diary of an Empty City
Diary of an Empty City is painter Liu Xiaodong's documentation of Ordos, an architecturally-wealthy ghost city located in Inner Mongolia. The city has stirred dialogue across numerous different platforms due to its empty condominiums and deserted shopping centers and squares. Liu's paintings capture the spaces and evoke a sense of magical realism. If you only have time for one exhibition, make it this one. Tue-Sun 10am-6pm until October 18. Faurchou Foundation
