Enjoyed B1 studio black and white curated show of ventilation tubes luminous coloured post it note labels and hanging sculptures.

wei hai gallery White Factory

On the weihai open studio event found another gallery, unfortunately missed the opening but loved the card flier and the fact that their new show is called flaneur, it must be good or at least slightly interesting.

Great Gallery!!! Around Space

While going round the Weihai road open studio event I came across a really cool gallery with some interesting curation. They had transformed the box like space with corners and then hung the work responding to the context and not over hung. Like!

Matters of Faith James Cohen Gallery

matters of faith james cohen gallery

This New York and Shanghai gallery displays it's big guns 基弗 Anselm Kiefer, 白南准 Nam June Paik, 比尔•维奥拉 Bill Viola (I think Bill Viola's recent stuff is really dull)

but the artist who completely steals the show is 徐震 Xu Zhen with his 'untitled' massive house of cards that looks like a famous building in a western region of China

Must see show and lovely restored art deco building
