Description: This thesis examines the rise of the Shanghai Biennale, related international art exhibitions, and contemporary Chinese artworks. I examine the contentious issues surrounding the proliferation of art biennales in mainland China, while illuminating how biennale culture impacts people?s recognition of contemporary art and Shanghai?s urban development. This thesis analyzes exhibitions about Chinese contemporary art, such as ?Inside Out: New Chinese Art? (1998) and ?Fuck off/ Uncooperative approach? (2000), mainly focusing on case studies of Chinese-born, United States-based contemporary artist Cai Guo-Qiang. These case studies include Cai?s Venice?s Rent Collection Courtyard/???-??? (1999), exhibited at the 48th Venice Biennale
