From supermodel Liu Wen to Gucci ambassador Ni Ni, international stars gathered in Shanghai to celebrate Gucci's latest exhibition.

Borrowing its name from Marina Abramović&rsquo;s iconic performance piece at the MoMA in 2010, <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/gucci-fall-winter-2018-bags-shoes-details">Gucci</a> presented a <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/living/interview-coco-capitan-is-it-tomorrow-yet-art-paintings-sculptures-exhibition-daelim-museum">new exhibition</a> called &quot;<a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/living/preview-gucci-new-art-exhibition-about-copying-in-art-the-artist-is-present-2018-shanghai">The Artist is Present</a>&quot; at Yuz Museum on 10 October.

Now open to the public until 16&nbsp;December 2018, the new exhibition explores a few ideas: the general perception towards counterfeit and copying, how&nbsp;originality can be achieved through repetition,&nbsp;and how originals themselves can be preserved through copies.

The exhibition is the result of a collaboration&nbsp;between Gucci&#39;s Creative Director&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/met-gala-2019-costume-institute-theme-details-revealed-anna-wintour-lady-gaga">Alessandro Michele</a> and Italian artist&nbsp;Maurizio Cattelan, who is known for his paradoxical works. The works of over 30 artists &mdash;&nbsp;including Chinese artists and talents from around the globe &mdash;&nbsp;have been curated by Cattelan especially for&nbsp;the exhibition to build&nbsp;a space where originality, intention, expression, and authorship&nbsp;are dismantled.
