“艾美，爱上海” 全新视角展现上海人文与历史
2013年5月24日至7月24日，上海世茂皇家艾美酒店将举办以“艾美，爱上海”为主题的艺术展览，邀请赵丹虹为策展人，展示四位中外艺术家陆元敏、Virginie Lerouge Knigh、肖可霄、胡承伟的摄影、装置等艺术作品十六件。
Virginie 装置作品 20cmx30cmx18cm 综合材料
喜达屋集团管理的上海世茂皇家艾美酒店，坐落于南京路和西藏路交汇点，是上海市中心的坐标原点，因其特色建筑风格和优秀服务品质，在国际上赢得诸多殊荣。喜达屋集团极其重视艾美酒店艺术文化的推广，为此，上海世茂皇家艾美酒店在一楼专门设置艺术展览区域，把标志上海文化特色的海派艺术元素运用于展览各个细节中。
爱 肖可霄摄影作品 120cmx120cm 铝塑板
中国著名的人文摄影家陆元敏先生，忠实地记录了上海四十多年的变迁历程，他的摄影作品被公认为是最能代表上海的图像。不管他是使用传统的胶片照相机，自己手工冲洗，还是用LOMO照相机、手机拍摄，都有着特别明显的从容淡定的“陆元敏Style”。这些作品是十多年前陆元敏老师自己手工精放的黑白摄影作品，是苏州河和南京路的旧貌，略微泛黄、有着陆老师的签名，每四幅作品组合成一组，这六组24幅珍藏多年的艺术品，让每位进入世茂皇家艾美酒店的客人，或浏览，或驻足；或怀旧，或回忆，在视觉上将大家的情感自由亲近地联络起来。陆元敏之所以被称作大摄影师，就是因为他的作品突破了人们寻常的视觉习惯和审美惯性，不只是用眼睛观看，更让观者的大脑随着这些图像产生联想，启发人们的思维和想象。
胡承伟 摄影作品 60cmx90cm
来自法国的女性艺术家Virginie
Lerouge Knigh，旅居上海已经六年多，她是著名的环境艺术家兼医学博士。她从日常生活中获得灵感，擅长将现成物品进行再创造，以视觉艺术的形式作出环保倡议。这次展览展示Virginie的四件小件作品：一个自行车模型驮着一个红色轿车模型的轿厢，恰似拯救地球的“诺亚方舟”；还有一组三件作品分别是生锈的自行车龙头、坐垫和车轴齿轮，被安置在粉色系缎子内，镶以典雅厚重的镜框。类似奢侈品的包装与生锈的物件组合，让观者自由联想。
肖可霄，外滩影像艺术家，媒体人，他已专注地拍摄外滩15年。肖可霄经常用多媒体影像DV作品的形式，表达他内心的上海情怀。为这次展览，他特别创作一幅“爱”的作品，是他十年来在上海的任何角度，拍摄的世茂皇家艾美建筑外形照片，拼接成一幅类似二维码的影像，一米二见方，高精度铝塑板数码输出，成为本次展览的亮点。肖可霄的作品与观众进行微博互动，从而用当代摄影语言，提出自己的思考，也是肖可霄与艾美品牌酒店的第三次合作。
已经在上海生活了十多年的重庆人胡承伟，把上海看做是他的第二故乡，他的家人也迁居上海，上海的秩序井然和便利生活使他不想离开，而更重要的是，他对上海人的印象也变得越来越具体而真实了。外滩和南京路，自然是他拍摄得最多的地方。他的镜头总是在寻找相同街景上不同的人，时间的变化和天气的差异。胡承伟的图像有着新闻的时效感，并带着对这座城市的想象。2013年5月初，胡承伟代表艾美集团赴普吉岛，与国际摄影师进行了交流采风。这次展览选取了五幅胡承伟拍摄的富有特点的上海风景。
上海的海派文化，有着海纳百川的气度和胸怀，以中西合璧、新旧融合的理念，将世界各地的艺术特色，从时间和空间上进行糅合，重新创作出属于上海这块土地上的独特的艺术风格。这四位艺术家，从不同的角度，发现着上海这座城市的美，不管何时何地，只要有一颗热爱生活的心，一切都是好玩好看，他们更是积极的生活家。5月24日18：00开始的“艾美，爱上海”艺术展开幕活动上，大家可以和各位艺术家自由交流，从这个独特的视点，欣赏到上海的美景，从形式，到内容；从视觉，到心灵。
