Speaking of trip...Back fron China and more specifically SHANGHAI
A week in Shanghai?
and then I went to see the exhibit on view @ Shanghai Gallery of Art
an interesting place ...not only to see arts ..but traveling in Shanghai and outside is certainly an experience you want to have ...sooner than later as everyday new buildings are appearing ...
The new census: 23 millions....compare it to Population: 16.74 million (the 2000 population census)....
What or Who ..did I see in Shanghai?
Sunday after a late brunch,..I went to Mo Gan Shan Road or M50
"A collection of once-deserted warehouses near Suzhou Creek, Moganshan now houses Shanghai's best contemporary art galleries. Best of all, several top artists, like Zhou Tiehai and Ding Yi, keep their studios here, so if you're lucky you can wander in and see the creative process unfold in real time. One of the city's oldest and most respected galleries is at 50 Moganshan,ShanghART, which represents the cream of the art world and is run by Swiss native Lorenz Helbling.

Thursday, I've met Thomas Chabrieres founder of Shanghai Sideways (http://www.shanghaisideways.com/)
Get a new view on Shanghai's historic architecture as you tool through town in a vintage motorcycle sidecar. This travel group organizes daily tours of everything from the former French Concession to the best local markets. Tours are led by personable expats who are passionate and knowledgeable about Shanghai.
and then cycled around the French Concession behind Marie-Christine who shared her view on Shanghai. Thanks to her, I could admire a few images from the french artist JR still on view around the REDTOWN or SculpturePark...Quite an experience
Friday I discovered Taikang street and did not have enough time to discover all of it
Sunday I met Elizabeth de Brabant who happened to be in her gallery http://www.elisabethdebrabant.com/home.html
Monday, I've met Katja HELLKOTTER founder of SHANGHAI FLANEUR ( http://www.shanghai-flaneur.com/)
This tour service offers walks that are well off the beaten path -- literary tours, chats with historians, treks around the old city and more. There's always coffee, tea and stimulating conversation involved.
