Arnolfini-Far West exhibition

Hello everyone,

Did you all enjoy the sunshine we have got so far?
It's July, time for Wimbledon, British strawberry, and of course, lovely British summer!
I haven't done much in the past few weeks but enjoyed the weather.
However I do have some information to share with you all in this busy(or lazy?) summer season.

There is an exhibition called 'FAR WEST' at ARNOLFINI starts form Sat 28 Jun to Sun 31 Aug, free entrance.
Far West is an experimental project that will transform Arnolfini from an arts venue into a distinctive 'concept store', that explores the shifting of the economic centre of the world to the East.

Alongside Far West Metro exhibition will be held in The Mall Bristol, in Broadmeads in the city centre from Fri 27 Jun to Thu 24 Jul.
I haven't visited the exhibitions yet, but will go for sure to have a look.
You can find out more about the 'concept shop' and the artists who create those products on Far West website.

What makes me feel so excited and look forward to this project is the Far West Film!
There will be some Chinese films on in Arnolfini including the very famous film Still Life, award-winning documentary filmed in the Three Gorge Dam-Manufactured Landscapes, Jia Zhangke Double Bill-Unknown Pleasures and Platform, and HitchpWok Double Bill-Suzhou River and Blind Shaft.
More information and film timetables, please have a look on Arnolfini website under Far West Film catalog.

It's a very good opportunity to watch Chinese films, and also to see the changes modern China had been through.
The conflicts between modernization and traditional values are always something I am interested in.

I might bump into some of you over there.
If any of you want to go to watch the films with me, you are more than welcome.
Just drop me an email, and we will see when and where to meet up.

Hope you will enjoy the exhibition and the films.

Again, if you do not wish to receive my email, please let me know.
So I can take you off my email list.

All the best
Cindy
