It took two trucks to deliver the stuff. The first truck hit a bump shattering its windshield. We could not drive this one in. So we unloaded it piece by piece.

Moments later we headed out into a rainy Beijing night and had no trouble finding a taxi. In addition to the artists and galleries in cao chang di, there is a pretty good, but very "Chinese" street market. The community is a mix of very meger Chinese homes and businesses, next to gated artist studios and galleries. It is very friendly and you can find just about anything you need nearby. There are a number of good sized dogs something I never see inside the second ring road. Over the weekend we had a good number of walk-ins. Most were other artists from the area checking out the new guys. Others were sight-seers. This really forces me to work on my Chinese.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7898130646260719525-8335547289899943320?l=gregkreisman.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>greghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04015502437422329615noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898130646260719525.post-17570751031644560542008-09-16T11:50:00.000-07:002008-09-21T09:08:20.404-07:00Tavalin Kreisman Studio in Cao chang di, Beijing China<br><br><img alt=""><div id="owwm" style="padding: 1em 0pt; text-align: center;"><img style="width: 640px; height: 480px;" src="http://docs.google.com/File?id=dd2w6rfn_156d63zqqtg_b"></div>the address at 300 art space<br>Julian and I<br><br><div id="kffn" style="padding: 1em 0pt; text-align: center;"><img style="width: 640px; height: 480px;" src="http://docs.google.com/File?id=dd2w6rfn_157dmwpjcdk_b"></div>view from the loft office<br><br><div id="kjw5" style="padding: 1em 0pt; text-align: left;"><img style="width: 640px; height: 480px;" src="http://docs.google.com/File?id=dd2w6rfn_158gfgxczgw_b"><br>View from the floor<br></div><div id="vxuc" style="padding: 1em 0pt; text-align: left;"><img style="width: 640px; height: 480px;" src="http://docs.google.com/File?id=dd2w6rfn_159fwckv9f9_b"><br><br>below the loft<br></div><div id="vu6r" style="padding: 1em 0pt; text-align: left;"><img style="width: 640px; height: 480px;" src="http://docs.google.com/File?id=dd2w6rfn_160cnxjqphf_b"><br>big front door<br></div><div id="ic7w" style="padding: 1em 0pt; text-align: left;"><img style="width: 480px; height: 640px;" src="http://docs.google.com/File?id=dd2w6rfn_161d3dhpxf3_b"><br><br>julian provides perspective<br></div><div id="nlrm" style="padding: 1em 0pt; text-align: left;"><img style="width: 640px; height: 480px;" src="http://docs.google.com/File?id=dd2w6rfn_162dvtm7qfw_b"><br><br>Make a right turn under the 5th ring road bridge or bus 402 cao chang di<br><br>See you there!<br><br><br></div><br><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7898130646260719525-1757075103164456054?l=gregkreisman.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>greghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04015502437422329615noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898130646260719525.post-86216790754820712602008-06-29T08:41:00.000-07:002008-11-15T06:09:59.895-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aw0xGvBgUb0/SGeteOPxQzI/AAAAAAAABLU/drpwuODRaQE/s1600-h/new_trike_logic.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aw0xGvBgUb0/SGeteOPxQzI/AAAAAAAABLU/drpwuODRaQE/s320/new_trike_logic.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217329428063929138" border="0" /></a><br />New Trike Logic<br /><br />Outside of Glory City as elsewhere in Beijing you meet the trikes. Some are wooden flatbed, others shinny bucket backs. They can carry almost anything, piled unimaginably high. My favorite cargo is an old Chinese grandmother driven by strong legged husband. The original subject of this image of the trike was captured by Marijana Crnic outside Glory city. I stood as a distraction on the side of some trike truckers as she snapped a great pic.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7898130646260719525-8621679075482071260?l=gregkreisman.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>greghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04015502437422329615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898130646260719525.post-90386650436874581202008-06-23T01:56:00.000-07:002008-11-15T06:10:00.055-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aw0xGvBgUb0/SF9mQ5wS1DI/AAAAAAAABLM/h9pVRx4myfE/s1600-h/templecloud.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aw0xGvBgUb0/SF9mQ5wS1DI/AAAAAAAABLM/h9pVRx4myfE/s400/templecloud.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214999334085645362" border="0" /></a>Temple cloud.<br /><br />Hey is that an octopus?
