Shanghai - Lighting up

In less than an hour's time of waiting for the girls, the dull and gloomy landscape revealed the night scene of the vibrant city that everyone has been raving about. There was so much more to explore yet so little time that was left.

Shanghai - Bridge 8

Shanghai - Moganshan Art District

Moganshan Art District is somewhat like Dashanzi Art District in Beijing - clusters of warehouse-turned-studio/gallery. Unlike the latter, there wasn't directories so i think we merely went into the ones nearer to the main area.









I would love to be working/living/creating/writing in this space. It's this really rusty glass room on the second level with a walkway joining the main building.



This artist has got his face all over his artwork and so i decided i'll buy a piece of his face back. haaa...




Irene, Jenny and me stopped at this studio and went "oooooo... if only our studio looks like this..." the white-on-white area beside the reception looked so inviting like so many ideas and possibilities can be thrown into it.







Timezone8 Bookshop
There was an exhibition of "Andy Warhol in China" when we were there. Didn't think Warhol blended in so well with the peasants. haha.. so cute.







OFOTO GALLERY

Great "compressed" wood benches!!



BANDU Music Cafe




This is at the end of Moganshan Road (or the beginning if you had started from here). I was totally drawn to this. After hours of contemporary art & paint techniques, we ended the Moganshan trip with seeing real life - the common people's way of living. To me, this was the greatest.
