Shanghai Long Museum on June 29 will host the opening of the cross-disciplinary art exhibition Spiritual Origin, presented in collaboration with emerging pianist Tim Zhang and contemporary artist Li Shurui.
Organized by Long Museum and co-organized by Vogue Me, from June 29 - July 14, attendees will be able to appreciate Li Shurui's signature works such as Wave and Storage for Primordial Spirit and also Tim Zhang's second original composition Spiritual Origin.
The latter artist's performance of this piece will be its global premiere.

Zhang's musical inspiration came after a visit to the 18 mausoleums for Tang Dynasty (618-907) emperors in Northwest China's Shaanxi province. The ancient painting and archaeological relics gave him an in-depth understanding of traditional Chinese art and history, as well as their influence in today's world.
To amplify the celebration of infinity in Li Shurui's artwork, Zhang's composition is imbued with nuanced sentiments. The artist tends to adopt the rhythm at his fingertips and the vibration of the keys to interpret the wonders of the universe.
