国际艺术家日在威海路696(以及全国范围内⋯⋯)

以下就是它的海报

UPDATED: Weihai 696 live bar still alive! 

Erm, or maybe not…

UP-dated this article rather than write a new one, in related news Weihai 696

Just had a two day power cut, but the power people are now digging a new 

power line in, but it means no power from 8pm-8am for a month or so….

and their truck was too high to drive in the building, which caused no end 

of discussions.

Anyhow also artist studio open day will be on May 8-9 so hopefully ok, 

but I’m not sure how this no power issue will work for the live band venue. 

hmm. Also below is Stageback gallery’s travails wi da management.

To be honest I thought this live music bar livebar@696 in the Weihai Road 

696 studios had shut down- apparently not! Details herehere and here of 

upcoming performances.

To find it you walk in, head towards the gaping hole on the left hand side, 

there you will see this new Japanese gallery, walk towards the glass doors, 

past those, then head down the corridor. Alternatively keep going straight and 

at the stairwell don’t go up, keep going.....

更新:威海路696现场酒吧仍存活着!

恩,或者不是……

刚被段了2天的电。电力的人已经在设置新的电缆

这样将会导致一个月时间从晚上8点到早上8点没有电……

他们的卡车太高无法开进大楼,于是争论无止无休。

论怎样,艺术家开放日在58号和9号,所以应该不会被影响

但我不知道这个夜间断电对现场酒吧的朋友们怎么 办。恩……同样,

楼下还有侯台的管理人员。

实说,我以为威海路的现场酒吧已经关闭——但是 没有!在这里,这里,

还有这里是将要到来的演出!

(put links at  这里 plz..

你走进来后,往左边的巷口进,你先看到那个新的日本工作室,朝玻璃门走,经过它,

然后转到走廊。

或者,就直走,到楼梯口不用往上,而是继续往里走……

NO MORE! 不要再这样

The 696 management (government) came today (without notice), barricaded our terrace door and took our bridge away that let us access the extension of stage候台BACK, it's beautiful terrace.

For those who have been to stage候台BACK know, the terrace always charmed everybody, day and night and it created a great and magic atmosphere in the evenings during our art openings. Some voices say: "most beautiful terrace in Shanghai"! It combines, old, industrial and modern, all in the same time.

The question that was answered when we asked why? Was:

"No terrace is to be used during expo time because something could fall down.

OK! Like what? 

A can of beer? A dead body? 

The theme of the upcoming world expo in Shanghai is "better city, better life". And I must agree with that!  Shanghai needs barricaded doors during the expo months. This is better for  all people who want to continue with their life's normally. For example, wear pajamas on the street, buy  DVD's on the street, go to loud bars and do all sorts of other "illegal" stuff. They should all have barricaded doors and should all be locked inside.

The real expo theme is:  "More control, better city!" or "How tpurroc do I have to be!"

今天,管理人员来了。他们把我们通往大天台的门封锁并且把我们的台阶拆了。那本是一个多么美好的天台!

来过stage候台BACK的朋友都知道,这个大天台在白天亦或夜晚吸引了多少人。在我们艺术展览开幕派对的夜晚里,它营造那般魔幻而美妙的气氛!有些朋友告诉我:“这是上海最美的天台!” 它那样自然地融合了上海的古老,工业和现代于一体。

当我们问到为什么封锁我们的天台,他们这样回答:

“世博期间所有天台都禁止使用,为了防止有人把危险物品从天台扔下。”

好吧。可是 比如什么?

一罐啤酒?还是一个尸体?

即将来临的上海世博的主题是:’更好的城市!更好的生活!‘我百分百同意它!上海要在世博的几个月里关上许多门,这就会让我们这些只想继续过着正常生活的人们生活得更好!?比如,不能穿睡衣走在街上,不能售卖盗版DVD,不能去独立音乐的酒吧,所有此类“非法”的种种⋯⋯这些都该被关上被锁起来。

真实的世博主题是:“更强的管理,更好的城市!”或“我们到底要活得多虚伪!”

LoloLove Vintage

It 

was a question of time. I have seen it in other places. First the artists, then the galleries, then the vintage shops, then the regular shops and then the restos and bars....then then then....5000 $ rent / month....+++ But since 696 already has a bar and also a cooking school and funky wedding companies, Lolo Love Vintage is a perfect addition on the dark second floor in building 11. The quality of the clothes and accessories is very good. And it is its first of a kind in Shanghai. Unbelievable! Well, they can count to have me shop before events at stageBACK!



这只是一个时间问题。虽然我已在别处看过。首先,是艺术家们,然后画廊们,再是精品店,接下来是普通的商店,饭店,酒吧⋯⋯然后,然后⋯⋯5000美元一个月的租金⋯⋯但是!因为696已经有了自己的酒吧和烹饪学校,以及古怪的婚纱公司, Lolo Love Vintage11号这个黑色系大楼加上精彩一笔。服饰和首饰的品质都很棒。而且似乎在这种类型里是上海第一家。真难以令人置信呢!我肯定会在stageBack活动前就来逛!


Open monday, wednesday, friday sunday from 1 - 9 pm
