This catalogue accompanies the exhibition 'The Pavilion of Realism' at the Shanghai and Beijing Spaces of Other Gallery. Its title alludes to an exhibition mounted by Realist painter Gustave Courbet in 1855 after his work was rejected from an official exhibition coinciding with the Exposition Universelle in Paris. In a similar vein, the present exhibition counters the 2010 Shanghai World Expo by offering challenging work that addresses social and political questions with a 'realism' ostensibly absent from the foreign pavilions. Artists' biographies are included in this catalogue.
