We can also go to Shekou, where there is this Sea World Art&Culture Center, it is a design museum which is a branch collaborated with the V&A museum in London.

Let us share the travel info here and post your questions (whoever has an answer, please anwser).

dl: clothes:
It will be hot and humid. Some of my friends always carry a small towl to wipe the sweat off their faces … and I have started doing this too. But: Event though it is hot, do not forget air-conditioning, which can be FREEZING! So always carry a jumper or something with you, in case you are not used to these temperature changes.
Don't forget your swimming costume.
Comfortable shoes for city walking and light hiking.
Nice clothes to visit the upmarket (designer) hotels. And, in general: like in Switzerland (although it is more Japanese-contemporary-fasion oriented … Ziqi … would you agree?).
It rains regularly! Take umbrella and/or rain coat with you. Sandals are good for rainy weather (water runs through).

Esther: Thank you Dominique for the informations. I asked Ziqi about the adapter and also read in a travel book: for electronic equipment: Netzspannung 220Volt, Steckdosen/power outlet with three holes in new hotels, on old ones with two. Same like in UK https://www.welt-steckdosen.de/wp-content/plugins/power-plugs-sockets/img/type_G.jpg https://www.welt-steckdosen.de/wp-content/plugins/power-plugs-sockets/img/type_D.jpg _

Status: 15 May 2018:
Our exhibition is a exhibition to the CUHK diploma exhibitions.
RMIT and ZHdK students/lecturers are exhibiting.

RMIT exhibition contribution, Irène Barberis wrote:
“If its ok I would like the 12 small works I have chosen to be placed separately on the walls on one side of the gallery, with a spotlight on each piece if possible - I want them to look like small jewels. Each of these works have a word, so I will be placing them in a sequence as a visual sentence. They don’t have any relationship to the screen printing. All our artists ( except for one) are Alumni with professional practices and are not students per se - we just need a clear white space/walls.
For the catalogue - My text ( with the addition next week of the ‘visual sentence’ should proceed the RMIT images - I will put each artist in order.

ZHdK contribution to the exhibition:
I have discussed the following with Ziqi, Esther, and Kathrin (@others: please let us know, if this is ok with you):
We bring some of our collaborative work (lithography and silkscreen) and mount them to big wall works.
I have asked for one TV screen with media player: on there we could run short (1—3') presentations of your work. (See example here.
Plus: We could produce some postcards: Each one contributes one image for a postcard. On each postcard are all names with weblink info. We can place the postcards in the exhibition space as a take-away.

Contribution to catalogue: Photographies of our collaborative work, all names of participants with weblinks. And maybe: a double page with individual work. What do you think?
