A Terence Koh Fan

A bit late with this, but celebrity artist Terence Koh gave quite a performance the other weekend at UCCA, in 798 (and, more interestingly, adopted a baby named Bei Bei). This rather impressive looking fellow was one of the highlights of the afternoon for me. He was there from several hours before waiting for the performance to start. Though most might find this to be too much, he does innovate on traditional elements quite interestingly.

Recycled Asia

Currie Lee opened D-SATA, a store in Beijing, carrying her creations, which include colorful party purses and card holders, made of snake and frog skin, and chunky necklaces made from water buffalo horns, to name a few. Yu Wu (吴俣) had a discussion with her recently.

YW: Are you a Westerner?

Currie Lee创立自己的品牌D-SATA在北京。第一个店在三里屯。

YW: Currie你算是西方人还是亚洲人?

A Hot Jock

Do rhinestones mix well with Adidas? Well, do oversize sports jerseys and leggings jive? This Hotspot (《城市公报HOTSPOT》) editor appears to be “rocking” it all to great effect.

Factory Girls

Those who fancy pretty girls near big machines should check out the next music festival at 751 D-Park where pipes, giants tanks formerly filled with toxins, smokestacks and other mysterious mechanisms abound.

在751时尚设计广场D-Park举办的音乐节上有很多美女,以及大管道,充着有毒弹药的废弃的大坦克,大烟囱和很多其他看上去很神秘的工厂器械。

The cross will offer enough protection.

Andy at Intro

Artist Andy Mo is now handling art at d-lounge. You can still catch the exhibition he most recently curated.

在Intro电子音乐节上碰到了艺术家吴建安(Andy Mo). 他现在在北京做与艺术相关的工作。你可以在这里看到最近他负责策展的在五月中旬结束的展览。

After a few Drinks

The lines for the large tubs of Absolut cocktail were brutal and long, but the drink was very potent. This young lady said she was feeling the effects.

I was trying to think of all of the headings for this that could involve Absolut _____ and nothing appropriate came to mind. Have they done an Absolut 798 advertisement yet?

At Intro Electronic Music Festival

Organized by Acupuncture Records, Beijing’s largest outdoor electronic music festival, Intro, was at D-Park in 798. There were a larger portion of foreign attendees than at indie-focused Strawberry Festival.

由国内先锋电子音乐团队针刺疗法(Acupuncture Records)主办的北京最大的户外电子音乐节INTRO于22日在798里的751时尚设计广场D-Park举行。这次参加该音乐节的外国人比参加草莓音乐节的外国人要更多。
