For the 2017 Shanghai Urban Space Art Season (SUSAS), a close attention to the“connection and disconnection” in the process of contemporary society of Shanghai City is proposed. “thisCONNECTION” is a production and reflection based on the disconnection of Shanghai City, which will involve a variation of “disconnection”no matter in spatial issue or humanity concerns; and also arise the challenge and opportunities of urban renewal. With the aim of waking vitality of Minsheng port, “thisCONNECTION” would like to introduce a platform between Huangpu River and Minsheng Port by a development of waterfront area with recreation, and look forward to more possibilities of future public space made by these specific “connections”.
