Garden for the Eyes — a series of narrow corridors constructed of handmade paper and suspended a metre above the floor at a Shanghai gallery — engages viewers from the neck up. As you walk through the conceptual garden, you’ll instinctively cast your gaze down the passageways and across the courtyards, where you’ll spot ink-blot works by Chinese American abstractionist Lyu Wujiu. The goal of the exhibition, says creator Dong Yi of the Shanghai firm c+d studio, is to focus the senses, prompting a new kind of seeing. You don’t merely look at your surroundings; you explore them with your eyes.
