Dieter Rams’ long-standing idea of „Less, but Better“ takes center stage in this exhibition at Fosun Foundation, marking the legendary German industrial designer’s first major appearance in China. Known for shaping Braun’s visual language and influencing generations of designers—from Apple to MUJI—Rams’ work is presented here through sketches, photographs, design principles, and original products that span decades of his career. The focus isn’t on nostalgia or branding, but on how restraint, clarity, and usefulness can quietly shape everyday life. This exhibition is jointly organized by the Beijing Contemporary Art Foundation and the Shanghai Fosun Art Center. Academic support is provided by the Rams Foundation, with joint support from the Goethe-Institut (China) and the German Consulate Shanghai. Curator: Klaus Klemp, Cui Qiao Time: 21.01.-11.02, Fosun Art Center, 600 Zhongshan Dong Er Lu, Shanghai |
Sixteen brass players and four percussionists, members of the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonic Orchestras & Friends had a burning passion to create an exciting new listening experience. Drawing on a collective wealth of experience having performed in the greatest concert halls worldwide, they have formed a brand new ensemble: The Philharmonic Brass. Performing an eclectic mix of music from Johann Sebastian Bach to John Williams, the ensemble traces its origins back to the wind music tradition at princely and royal courts in the 18th century, which flourished under Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, as well as traditional folk music and local music-making. This heritage was carried forward in the long tradition of orchestral playing in both the Philharmonic Orchestras of Berlin and Vienna – and now finding a new path in terms of instrumentation and playing technique. 06.02.2026 Beijing, Beijing Concert Hall 08.02.2026 Hangzhou, Hangzhou Grand Theater |
