Last Opening at 696 Weihai Lu tomorrow

From my lovely neighbor Ming Ming:

Dear All,

As you know 696 Weihai Rd. will be closed soon. We stay here more than 4 years. We love here. But we have to move.

Apr. 30th is Open Day for 696. May 14th is our last show in 696. We will present artist Liang Binbin's solo show <Reborn新生>.

And we will move to our new space in the bund. We will send you details as soon as possible.

Thanks for everyone!

Best

Mingming

  

This is not an art installation!

With the fourth floor shut down and empty black holes on the second floor it starts to feel lonely in 696 Weihai Lu. 

We have exactly one more week ahead of us. 

ShanghaiEYE completed its move yesterday in a dramatic two nights in a row moving marathon with confused workers ("what, that paintings costs 300000 rmb???") and broken art works. Two big loads of stuff where driven up to M50 to Chris's new studio. Good luck with moving in!!!

In the meantime the manager guys are counting money in the office. Next to the lovely wood paneled cabinet aka East Germany 1976. This is not an art installation! 

But it could be!

The last tango

Just received the official flyer for the last 696 community show / party on April 30. If the reason, why this is happening, would not be so sad, I would actually be exited about it.

But anyhow, lets have a big laugh and a drink before they chop our heads off.

Back from my trip

I must count. I don't know what day of "the 696 funeral" is anymore since I have left to Europe two weeks ago to get away from this suppressive atmosphere that lingers in Shanghai. Now soon, me and my friends a 696 "only" have to evacuate our studios on May 20. Unfortunately this decision was not changed in the two weeks of my absence. 

In the meantime, Eric Leleu, 696 resident,  shot a great story of a few of us artists in 696.

Day 46

Photographer and 696 neighbor Eric Leleu came by today to snap me and empty sB for a story about artists and their spaces at 696 Weihai Lu.

I snapped Eric with the i-phone and he became "double" before we made lots of my "myspace' dolls "fly"!

Day 47

Today is the day of the death!

2011.4.4.

Since the number 4  sounds like death 死, the chinese celebrate their ancestors today with the national "tomb sweeping" or "all souls" day.

And I am sweeping the 696 memory lane on 4/10/2008 – 2:24 PM last renovations before the big opening on 4/19/2008.
