Tank Shanghai , the ambitious museum project from Chinese collector Qiao Zhibing is finally set to open its doors. The museum is comprised of five disused oil tanks that formerly stored fuel for the nearby Hongqiao International airport sits on the banks of Shanghai’s Huangpu river.
After years of extensive work, Qiao has converted the empty tanks into a 645,000 square foot (60,000 square meters) art park with exhibition spaces, gardens, shops and restaurants.
The grand opening will kick off with three exhibitions, including “teamLab: Universe of Water Particles in the Tank” and a group show titled “Under Construction,” which will feature recent works by Chinese artists such as Zeng Fanzhi, Yang Fudong, and Ding Yi.
