Fourth show I have seen and each one is better than the one before it. The Dior show is like a 'never before in Beijing' kind of thing - its like an opening ceremony 8/8 in an art gallery

It's interesting and engaging. Sure there are some of those "is it really art" moments but with sense-assaulting installations such as the twisting "space-time tunnel" and an enormous painting depicting scenes with Mao and his comrades in Nintendo pixel-art style, it's a decent showcase for contemporary art.
