cctv
Visit Denise Keele-Bedford's studio in another neighboring artist compound Suo Ja Cun with Barbara. Denise is Australian and introduces us to a Chinese technique of making paper imprints from stones, and a beautiful yellow food coloring made from egg plums. Suddenly my mobile rings and it is Rigmor who insists I jump in a cab and meet her right away. She has an extra ticket to a TV-studio event: a popular travel program celebrates 15 years on the air and Norwegian musicians Unni Lovlid, Frode Hatli and Terje Isungset play with dong minority musicians from the Guizhou province - would not want to miss that! Half an hour later I am in front of the CCTV building that will be obsolete when Rem Koolhaas's design for new head quarters is completed by the 2008 Olympics.
Later we have a drink on the 20th floor of Capital Hotel with a great view of The Forbidden City, before dinner in the traditional Huajia courtyard restaurant. Nice is an understatement.
