Last Saturday, Shanghaiist was invited to attend the unveiling of Shanghai's newest gallery space, m97.

We wished that our interpretation of the photographic exhibition was as simple as the exhibition's title, but we assume this is the art part of the exhibition. Here's a little about Jiang Zhe (pictured below) and his exhibit from information posted by m97.
