want sex
The phone is still dead. Take a cab to Starbucks to check my email, but the network is down. Walk to Workers Stadium where Beijing Art Now Gallery is located opposite Gate 12. I want to see an exhibition by Zhao Gang. He was a member of the earliest avant-garde group in contemporary Chinese art, the Star Group, before moving to New York in 1983. Here he started an artistic deconstruction, deconstructing content, concepts and technique allowing a shift from unity to diversity. The show is called want sex, and the artist explains that he explores a personal narrative about his childhood as he grew up in a Cold War Era and Cultural Revolution. The source of the work is a teenager's sexual anxiety. In China, the only sexually suggestive images were ballets of female soldiers dancing.
The network freezes when I plug in my laptop at Gongti International Youth Hostel.
Take the subway to Tiananmen Square to meet Anne Karin and co who are in town. We want to see the Beijing Urban Planning Exhibition Hall, but are too late, and go to the Square to play with Mimir's kite instead before heading for 798. Try one more time to go online at At Café. After 5 minutes the network goes down, and at home the phone is still dead...
