Chiharu Shiota: In the Beginning (on now) – [Top pick] Powerful contemporary art: iconic giant red-thread installations filling the space, exploring memory and anxiety – the best photo spot of the day. [2]

Ryuichi Sakamoto: Seeing Sound, Hearing Time (on now) – A tribute to the late maestro; the gallery becomes a 3D soundscape. LED walls show slow-moving images of his New York studio piano and objects, dissolving and reassembling with the music. [3]

Shanshui: Echoes and Signals (on now) – Who says landscape painting is only ink? Here you'll find glowing LED waterfalls, large-scale video installations, and even an indoor sculpture garden. [4]
