opening night 4
Opening at Platform: Wan Wei Trap installation. The gallery space is filled with a rusty labyrinth like scaffold structure surrounding an oversized bird trap built in fine wood sticks. About 200 small birds inhabit the exhibition space. They alternately feed from the centrally placed seeds, fly, sing, despair and occasionally die. The public is similarly intrigued and frustrated by this captivating maze.
At China Art Archives across the street they show Retarded, featuring abstract paintings. We continue to 798 where 3 + 3 space shows drawings, while a very interesting exhibition, Making a new relationship - The Art Ethics, shows at Dimensions Art Center.
The central piece is Shu-Min Lin's intriguing installation with water lilies growing and fish jumping according to 2 opposing participants' brain waves. CCTV reporters are on the spot and ask us to give our opinion -my 2nd appearance on China's airwaves.
After checking mail and dining we check out an electronic music event. Multiple Apple laptops, LCD projectors, a mic and an el-guitar turn out to be more technology than they can handle. We hang out and wait for a while. Run into Nathalie who introduces us to Australian artist Iain Mott who is preparing an installation at the Long March Space. He knows the music scene here and hooks Melvin up with some people. Back in the studio I edit my water video until the sun comes up.
