Since ShanghART Beijing founded in 2008, till 2013 they have experienced for five years. From the number to say, "5" is a figure that is easy to be amplified, this number puts people on the axis that can both looking back over the past and expecting forward for the future. If we say "5" is a time concept unit, then the "+" represents a clear attitude rather than a physical definition. "5+" is a start of a new page, is an inheritance and a continuation. "5+" is the expectation for the next five years, and a beginning of a new journey. "5+"is a opening formula, when the time drifting away, the unfinished keep been pursued, there will be a new number appear behind "+". As the first exhibition of ShanghART Beijing in 2014, "Possibility" is a keyword to be stressed, be hoped for.
