Entrance Walkway to UCCA Beijing

First stop in the Land of Dragons - Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (UCCA), located in the infamous 798 Art District of China capital, Beijing. To be exact, I wasn't actively looking for art museums to go to in China (been in the midst of settling into a new culture).

Cut my small talks....

UCCA is a non-profit, comprehensive art center founded in Beijing by collectors Guy and Myriam Ullens. The museum/exhibitions space presents works of established and emerging artists and develops a trusted platform to share knowledge through education and research. They also create a platform of dialogue between China and the rest of the world.

Abit more from their website:

By breaking the outdated mold of how an art center is perceived and showcasing the latest in China's contemporary art, design, fashion, music and multimedia, UCCA aims to be a catalyst for emerging projects and protagonists in the new Chinese cultural scene.

The core of UCCA programs includes conferences, lectures, special events, artistic performances, and films. UCCA activities are a magnet for many kinds of audiences, from art fans and specialists to families and children.

Though UCCA is not your usual big museum, it features a lot of budding contemporary artists in China. Definitely worth a visit. So the next time you visit Beijing, do make sure you fit UCCA into your schedule.

Sorry to keep you guys waiting. Finally I could do some blogging....

Recently, I had a Big Move to the Land of the Dragons, or you could call it Land of Replica. *LOL* It seem like there's no issue on copyrights here. Abit of a cultural shock I must say, though I share the same ethnic group as most here.

Well, let's see if you guys can guess the Originals from these:



P.S: Seriously I find this interesting, so I am going to keep on updating this entry with the replicas of the country. :)
