Michaël Borremans: The Promise

Installation view, Michaël Borremans: The Promise, Prada Rong Zhai, Shanghai, 2024 

Prada Rhong Zhai, Shanghai

April 9—June 9, 2024

The Promise marks Michaël Borremans' first solo exhibition in Mainland China, with the support of Fondazione Prada.

The Promise features twenty-three paintings by Borremans and one of his films showcased on the two main floors of the building. The Prada Rong Zhai is a 1918 historic residence in Shanghai restored by Prada and reopened in October 2017. Its historical and domestic spaces enhance the sense of anachronism conveyed by Borremans’s art. The exhibition will allow visitors to move freely around the different rooms and experience the multiple connections between history and contemporaneity in his works as well as a confrontation with the unique context of the early twentieth-century villa.
