China hasn’t got only the biggest working labor or army, they also have a nice bunch of artist who are gaining international prestige year after year. Starting next Thursday (and going until March 21st 2010), 17 Beijing-based Chinese artists commissioned by Fang Zhannig and Menene Gras from Casa Asia will be exhibiting “Beijing Time” at the  Contemporary Creation Center from  Matadero Madrid.

The proposal is a panoramic and updated vision of contemporary Chinese creation including photography, video installations, cinema and performances. An exhibition envisioning the impact the Shanghai Expo intends to have next year. Such artists as Jin Shi, Wang Jianwei, Li Wei or Cang Xin will be exhibiting and adapting big formats for contents directly linked to the city. A city which intends to become an example of diversity, multicultural integration and rich identity.

      If we could sit and observe  all the creatures our subconscious imagines we wouldn’t probably understand a thing…. a very symbolic & relaxing piece by Kitty Crowther and Bruno SalAmone with music by Sissi Lewi.

      From time to time we post some valuable on-line jewels. Oki-ni should become your next one-stop shop for “individual & unique” whims if you’re a man (although not necessarily…). Carefully selected, beautifully presented….

      We’ve heard so many times this one. We even have it as our mobile ringtone! Unfortunately this video directed by Trevor Jackson is quite deceiving to be honest…. so many months for this? We guess is kind of matching Matias Aguayo’s continuous samplified sounds.
