Feeling artsy today? Go catch London-based artist Dorothy M. Yoon's exhibition which features 13 Asian females in blonde wigs and equally blonde bleached eyebrows inspired by her childhood fantasies. A joint exhibition by contemporary artists Christeene Britton & Wang Youling celebrating harmony and life can be a good bet if you're looking for something a little more abstract (and perhaps a little less quirky). Enjoy.

The observations by two veteran photographers of a rapidly changing Shanghai over ten-plus years should be reason enough to traipse over to Moganshan Road. Van der Hilst’s color Kodachrome works will allow us a glimpse into Shanghai on the brink of transformation in the early 1990s (good opportunity for some of us who had been in primary schools back then, too busy figuring out multiplication tables to notice) while French, the New York Times' Shanghai correspondent delves into the more recent past with his black-and-white documentation of life in Shanghai’s back alleys during the last five years.

Weekenders looking for a break from the usual club and pub offerings should consider these two interesting events this weekend.

If you're anything like this particular Shanghaiist (young at heart, possibly infantile), you'd probably enjoy checking out the opening night of the "I, China" exhibit at da>space gallery. Curators Eddi and Jukai have kept things lighthearted and playful, asking 60 young designers from around China to customize Beijing-based WZL's "I" vinyl figurine.
