The Suzhou Supplement 19

Now that the fun and festivities of Chinese New Year are over, and the fireworks have just about stopped exploding, it is time to look forward to another, and much more welcomed, explosive noise. It is that time of year again, JUE | Music + Art is back in town for 11 days and we have a rundown of our top events from across the schedule (pages 6 and 7).

Over on our style pages this month, we have an interview with the designers behind COB ORIGINALS. You may have already seen some of their sweaters and t-shirts around town, with catchy slogans such as “Don’t Give A 事 ” and “Frankie Says 放松”, so we sat down with them to find out a little more about the brand (page 8).

We made it our mission during Chinese New Year to find beauty products that would treat our dull skin, suffering from the effects of bad weather and pollution, to a bit of pampering. We came up trumps with a selection of products by Lalu, a handmade, natural, chemical-free skin food range made by a Shanghai expat. Find out more on page 10.

Last month, we successfully held our second ever Talk’s Top Hotel And Apartments Award evening, and this month we take time out to give you a little more information about each hotel and apartment that made the cut (pages 14 to 18).

Finally, our supplement this month focuses on the beautiful garden city of Suzhou. We spent time in Suzhou and satellite city, Kushan, to discover more about an area that is steeped in ancient history and beauty.

Find out how to spend your perfect weekend in Suzhou right here (pages 19 to 25).

As usual, we have the latest hotel news, food and drink deals as well as our essential listings at the back (pages 31 onwards). Now, let’s Talk!

Shanghai Saviour

Although the hotly anticipated theme park was slated to open at the end of this year, unfortunately for Mickey Mouse enthusiasts, it will instead open in the first half of 2016.

The sixth park for the company has been in the works for ten years, but if something is worth doing, it’s worth doing right. We can’t wait to see the park for ourselves, next year.

A local Shanghai man donated stem cells to try and help save the life of a seven year old British boy with leukaemia. The China Marrow Donor Programme passed the cells to a representative from the British hospital where the young boy, of Asian origin, was staying. For those wanting to find out more about the donor register, contact the Red Cross Society of China.

Grannies Gone Wild Shanghai Zoo had to call the police last month after elderly members of a dance troupe, who had been asked to obey the rules and not play loud music that was disturbing nearby animals, began smashing the public sign boards. The zoo workers were concerned that the music would disturb the animals during their hibernation period. However, many of the dancers refused to listen and displayed their displeasure physically. Moral of the story: don’t mess with dancing seniors.

Anti-pollution Projects

Great and unprecedented steps are being taken to reduce pollution in the city. A budget of RMB 100 billion has been set for the next three years to be spent on over 200 projects that will aim to tackle eight areas of concern - water, air, soil, waste, industry, agriculture, ecology and circular economy in order to improve the city’s pollution level. Shanghai’s overall air quality has already improved since 2013 thanks to anti-pollution methods such as the use of cleaner energy sources.

MONEY TALK

Your Annual Review Bill Longstreet

So you just sat down with your advisor to do an annual review of your investment account and despite many markets sitting at near all time highs, you see that your account is barely in the black after four years of investing. Your advisor gives you a lot of excuses, “It’s the weak currency”, “the Russian financial collapse” or, “oil price volatility”, but in reality, it might be something else that your advisor is afraid to tell you. After years of poor returns, it might be time to look under the hood to see what is keeping your account from at least keeping up with the market.

T

here are a couple of reasons why your portfolio may be significantly underperforming the market. One, either your advisor is not doing a good job in providing broad based diversification, but rather making bad bets on individual stocks or specific market sectors. Or two, the fees you are paying are dragging down your returns. More than likely it is a combination of both.

You should start by focusing on last year’s results and the impact they’ll have on achieving your financial goals. You should ask, what specific investments contributed favourably towards my overall investment performance? What specific investments hurt my overall portfolio performance?

Looking back, what would you have done differently? If your advisor has an indexing strategy, which we highly recommend, your returns should be close to the benchmark

you are trying to beat, and the review would revolve more around rebalancing the portfolio rather than guessing on which sector or individual stock to invest into.

Indexing is a proven investment strategy that eliminates the nearly impossible task of market timing and asset selection, and allows the advisor to concentrate on asset allocation and portfolio rebalancing. Index funds are low-maintenance, low-cost mutual funds designed to follow the price fluctuations of a broader index, such as the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrials.

Studies show that a portfolio of broad based index funds that invest in uncorrelated assets such as, stocks, bonds, real estate and commodities provide for consistently higher returns with a lower level of volatility than an actively managed portfolio.

An annual review is a good time to take a closer look at your investment fees. If you

Bill Longstreet don’t know already, ask your advisor how he gets compensated - is he a commission or fee-based advisor? In other words, has your advisor already been paid for his advice or does he have a vested interest in the performance of your account? If you are using an investment platform, reconfirm the annual platform fees, transaction/switching fees and fund management fees. What you find may surprise you and could be a significant reason as to why your portfolio is not meeting your expectations. If all of the annual fees added up are greater than 1.5% of your assets, then you are paying too much and you should re-evaluate your options.

At the end of the day, if you are using the investment as your primary means to save for your retirement or your children’s education, it is in your best interest to make sure it is performing as it should. Time can be your ally or foe, make sure you take advantage of what time you have left by being properly invested.

Bill Longstreet is a partner with Caterer Goodman Partners, a primarily fee based financial advisory firm. For more tips on how to handle your savings check out their blog, www.chinaexpatmoney.com

COVER STORY

JUE| Hello Shanghai ren, it’s that time of year again. The seventh edition of JUE | Music + Art is back in town from 12 March to 22 March. The lovely music promoters over at Split Works have outdone themselves once more to bring Shanghai and Beijing the very best of music and arts across the creative spectrum. This multi-disciplinary and multi-venue event will give guests a glimpse into the rabbit hole that is the Chinese creative scene and we have complied a list of highlights that you certainly won’t want to miss.

Music + Art = Success

Jue (觉), meaning to sense or to awaken, is an annual urban festival that is held in Beijing and Shanghai. Now welcoming its seventh year, this well established festival is all about embracing local creative communities in the Middle Kingdom as well as inviting international artists along to the party to share in the proceedings.

Almost Famous Shanghai Live Music Photographer Exhibition 2015 celebrates 25 years since the birth of Rock n' Roll in Shanghai. Even with all the hype of giant music festivals and gigs with stops in Shanghai, it’s still hard to say that rock music in Shanghai has completely stepped out of the shadow.

Each image on exhibit reminds onlookers that despite the thousands pogoing and rocking out to the music, the artists on stage don't want to be “one hit wonders,” but to be respected for the passion and hard work that comes with their performances. Six famous photographers, recommended by Shanghai livehouses, promoters and mainstream media, show with the help of their cameras

the most authentic and rocking moments in this land of luxury and dissipation at the "Almost Famous" Shanghai Live Photography Exhibition.

12 March to 22 March. 2pm to 5pm.

Thursday to Sunday. Free. On Stage.

Red Town Art Centre A2, 570 Huaihai Xi Lu, near Hongqiao Lu.

This multidisciplinary festival is always a refreshing change of pace from the Shanghai scene. Citywide, innovative spaces, stimulating artists and thought provoking topics are introduced to captivate audiences with lots of opportunities for visitor participation.

Genjing Records Present Primitive Calculators

Once one of the rawest acts of the 70’s Australian punk scene, 35 years later, Primitive Calculators are back, and meaner than ever.

Primitive Calculators formed in 1978 in Melbourne, Australia. Their music was influenced by proto-punk acts like The Godz and The Velvet Underground, Texan 1960s; psychedelic punk, James Brown and The Silver Apples as well as Australian bands like Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs.They are often compared to The Screamers from Los Angeles, Suicide and bands from New

Bike To Jue Co-presented by Factory Five As both a rebirth and extension of the original Beijing-based Bike To JUE concept, Shanghai’s very first Bike to JUE is an exciting weekend-long scavenger-type photography hunt. This ride-and-seek is open to everybody and only has two entry requirements: You have a bike; You can take photos and share them on Instagram or Weibo If the idea of bicycle-hunts evoke an image of darting between traffic then relax, this is not a race. BIKE to JUE is a way to get out on your two-wheelers with friends and explore this great city of ours!

March15

The time frame is set to the whole weekend to guarantee everyone has plenty of time to discover, have fun and submit their entries.

Entries will be judged on total numbers, as well as creativity and expression.

Prizes include a bike valued at RMB 5000 from Factory Five as well as an annual pass for all Split Works shows! If that isn’t enough to motivate you, perhaps tote badges, gift vouchers, film tickets and more might push you to get involved with Bike to JUE. 14 March to 15 March. Free. All over Shanghai.

York’s No Wave music scene.

They released their debut single I Can’t Stop It / Do That Dance in 1979, and were instrumental in organising a series of gigs named "Little Band Nights," where hastilyformed bands would play for 15 minutes each.

This led to the recording of a compilation EP. They became known for their use of a screeching Mosrite Ventures model guitar, primitive synthesizers (a Wasp and Roland SH2), an electronic organ played through effects pedals and an extra fast drum machine (Roland CR-78).

The Primitive Calculators played their last gig in March 1980, though their self-titled live album came out in the early 1980s.The band reformed briefly in 1986 to perform a live version of their song, Pumping Ugly Muscle in the Richard Lowenstein film, Dogs In Space (they later appeared in Lowenstein's 2009 documentary We're Livin' on Dog Food).

Interest in the band was sustained though, and their recordings continued to be rereleased until January 2009, when the band reformed for the inaugural Australian All Tomorrow's Parties music festival, curated

by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. The band subsequently commenced the recording of a new album called The World Is F**ked, which was released in 2013.

20 March. 9pm. RMB 60 (student). RMB 80 (adult).

Yuyintang. 851 Kaixun Lu, near Yan’an Xi Lu.

YOZHO With her cloudlike upbeat music and saccharine voice, it’s hard not to let your cares melt away when South Korean singersongwriter Yozoh steps on stage.

One of the most remarkable indie-pop musicians coming out of South Korea today, Yozoh dropped onto the music radar in 2008 when she collaborated with another Korean artist to release the album, My name is Yozoh.

She was an instant success and quickly followed with a solo album of her own, Traveller, in 2008. This was followed by a second full-length album in 2013, entitled Use of My Own. In the seven years since Yozoh’s debut, she has become an iconic figure in South Korea, writing theme songs for many of South Korea’s most famous TV dramas such as Coffee Prince, New Heart, and Love Rain. She’s also appeared in movies, and has even become an author.

20 March. 8:30pm. RMB 120 (presale) RMB 180 (on the door). QSW Cultural Centre. 1/F, 179 Yichang Lu, near Jiangning Lu.

The formula for the 11 day event is the same as ever – a collaborative, open-source affair with different event organisers putting on creative events all around town during the festival period under the JUE banner. The immense scope, various art forms and creativeness of the project is its main strength and the festival is truly able to boast that there is something for everyone.

The Bug JUE | Music + Art teams up with Sub-Culture to bring The Bug, the main mutation of producer Kevin Martin, also known as King Midas Sound, Techno Animal/Ice/God (with Justin Broadrick of Godflesh/Jesu), Razor X Productions (with The Rootsman & various M.C’s), Pressure, Ladybug, the man behind Pathological Records and a slew more. He’s provided bass booming remixes for Grace Jones, Thom Yorke, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Primal Scream, Two Fingers, Beastie Boys, and has fans as diverse as Aphex Twin, Four Tet, Trent Reznor, Fuck Buttons and Death Grips.

With a discography spanning labels across the spectrum such as Ninja Tune, Virgin, Rephlex, Position Chrome/Mille Plateaux, Word Sound, Hyperdub, City Slang, Tigerbeat 6 and Grand Royal, this is definitely a show worth flapping on about to your friends. 2013's Filthy EP marked the

Jay Electronica & Miss Ko Native New Orleans rhyme machine Jay Electronica and Queens hip-hop tour de force Miss Ko meet for the first time in the milieu that is the 7th JUE | Music + Art Festival. The two make up an undeniably compelling and exciting double bill with Iron Mic crews in support in both Beijing and Shanghai.

Jay Electronica rippled the musical pool in 2007 with Act I: Eternal Sunshine (the Pledge), and has been swimming upstream ever since. Backed by iconic music mogul Jay-Z (and his label Roc Nation), Electronica has produced tracks that feature the likes of Prodigy and Mobb Deep. His honest and cutting lyrics set against the backdrop of mad rhythms and rhymes serve as a poignant voice for the oppressed in modern American society.

Miss Ko is a rapper/songwriter from Queens, New York who flows fluidly between English and Mandarin Chinese. Ko won “Best New Artist” at Taiwan’s 24th Golden Melody Awards with her debut album Knock Out, cementing her status as not only the first female rapper

to release a solo album in Taiwan, but also the first to ever win the prestigious award.

Ko started writing lyrics back in high school and attended Five Towns College, where artists like Wyclef Jean and Maroon 5 began their musical careers. Throughout college, she performed with both local and international acts, and was chosen out of thousands to compete on Hot 97’s Night of the Rising Stars. After graduation, she independently released her first mixtape titled Industry Makeover. In 2010, Ko ventured to Taiwan to learn Chinese, and in less than two years - on August 15, 2012 - released her first Mandarin album, Knock Out, under independent label Kao Inc. Records.

Ko has attracted the support of industry icons such as Amei, Leehom Wang and Run DMC. Ko now lives in Taipei, Taiwan, where she is currently working on her next album and a clothing line.

18 March. 8pm. RMB 150 (presale). RMB 220 (on the door).

Arkham. 1 Wulumuqi Lu, near Hengshan Lu.

Emilie Simon first rumblings of a new fulllength record, which in mid-2014 manifested as The Bug’s Angels & Devils LP. For this album Kevin Martin has both enlisted the familiar, and smashed open the idea of what “The Bug” is – it’s a year zero of sorts for The Bug, yet the release draws on what has been before. Indeed, The Bug is the only producer who can bring in the likes of Grouper, Copeland, Miss Red, Gonjasufi, Flowdan, Justin Broadrick (Godflesh/ Jesu), Mala, Death Grips and Warrior Queen and make it seamless.

21 March. 10pm. RMB 100. Shelter. 5 Yongfu Lu, near Fuxing Xi Lu.

For more information about JUE | Music + Art, visit www.juefestival.com

The festival welcomes back the enigmatic French singer Emilie Simon to Shanghai and Beijing. With her unique mix of electronic, pop, and Bjork-like vocals, Simon has performed at sold-out shows across the world.

Now, following on from her short tour in China in 2010, Emilie Simon is back to play for JUE audiences.

Surrounded by music from an early age, Emilie Simon won critical plaudits as early as 2003, when she recorded a debut album largely written, composed and produced by herself. The selftitled record, Émilie Simon, won Album of the Year at Victoires de la Musique, France’s most prestigious music award ceremony.

Born in Montpellier in Southern France, Emilie grew up bathed in the Mediterranean sun and immersed in the sound of clarinets and electronic melodies. Wishing to imbue her second album with a more wintry and polar vibe, she began to record sounds that related to coldness. Coincidentally, in the midst of her search for sounds for the album, she was contacted by film producer Luc Jacquet to compose the original soundtrack for his Oscar award-winning documentary film, La Marche de L'empereur (March of the Penguins), about the annual migration of emperor penguins.

In 2006, Emilie went on to triumph at the Victoires de la Musique ceremony once again, winning the award for the Best Original Film Soundtrack of the year.

In 2009, Emilie started writing songs arranged for accompaniment on piano, rather than a computer. “I even forbade myself to go near a computer for a year and a half,” Emilie said, “I wanted to

see what I was capable of without my usual comforts around me.” The result was a collection of sounds reflecting Emilie’s impression of New York City — an urban, black and white musical that became her most recent album, The Big Machine. On this album, Emilie’s experimental inclination involved the clever use of traditional Chinese instruments - together with keyboards as a vestige of her long stay in the heart of Chinatown.

In 2011, the album Franky Night, (dedicated to her late fiancé) won her many more fans in France as most of the tracks were sung in French, as opposed to English. Her latest album, Mue, hit markets in 2014 and includes tracks like Chris Isaak’s Wicked Games cover, and other heartfelt songs featuring both English and French lyrics.

19 March. 8:30pm. RMB 150 (presale).

RMB 180 (on the door). QSW Cultural Centre. 1/F, 179 Yichang Lu, near Jiangning Lu.

Laid-back Looks From COB ORIGINALS COB ORIGINALS fuses Chinese culture along with Western design themes to create casualwear for the everyday guy or girl living in our increasingly interconnected world.

G

irlfriend and boyfriend team, Deanna Wong and Chris O’Brien, are Shanghai expats who have been living in the city for a year. Before moving to Shanghai, they both studied Mandarin in Beijing, which is where their love for Chinese wordplay (and each other) began.

Currently based in the heart of Shanghai, all their statement designs are produced in China, with the new SS/15 range, which includes slouchy, relaxed unisex tank tops and “treat yo’ self ” pieces made from premium fabrics, all proudly made in Shanghai.

Designs come in unisex, men’s or women’s cuts, so if you want to embrace the Chinese trend of dressing in the same clothes as your partner, or simply want to wear a cool over-sized tee with a pair of skinny jeans, make COB ORIGINALS your first stop.

Talk sat down with Wong and O’Brien to find out more about their unique brand.

Talk: So when did you start the company and what was your impetus to begin with?

COB ORIGINALS: When we first arrived in China, the majority of casual clothing options were foreign brands, fakes or something a bit wacky. Fashion is all about spreading and sharing the art and culture of where you live, what you experience and where you travel. We don't see why that should be any different for casual and comfortable clothing, which is why we started COB ORIGINALS six months ago. We want to explore the fun and funky side of China whilst creating wearable clothes for the everyday guy and girl.

T: Was it easy to start your business in Shanghai?

CO: Starting any business has its hurdles and that's no different in Shanghai, but the language and legal barriers add that extra layer of trickiness! However, we've been very lucky to meet some truly supportive people along the way. It's been great to interact with so many other new businesses in Shanghai and get such positive feedback from the customers we meet at local markets and events.

T: Where are you currently stocked?

CO: We've just set up a studio (Building 3, 2/F, 764 Changle Lu, near Fumin Lu. Tel: 185 0160 4370) and any customers are welcome to give us a call or WeChat to drop by (call or message us beforehand as it’s in a lanehouse with old grannies who enjoy their quiet time). Getting stocked at local boutiques in Shanghai and Beijing is one of our goals for the spring! ​ T: What are your customer’s reactions to the Chinese wordplay?

CO: They love it! And we love that it puts a smile on peoples’ faces. Occasionally, someone will completely miss the joke and complain that it doesn't make sense. But hey, haters 个那 hate. Sorry, had to be done!

T: What do you think of the Chinese fashion scene?

CO: The top end of China's fashion scene has grown in leaps and bounds over the past few years. Chinese designers are becoming more and more well known across the world, particularly in Europe - home to many well-established international brands. A great example is Yiqing Yin, who became the creative director of a French fashion label last year. Certain trends here may still be a bit niche in other cities, like London, but we've no doubt that will change in the years to come. And if COB ORIGINALS is a stepping-stone in that process, we couldn't be happier!

T: What differentiates your products?

CO: We're a brand that the young and vibrant, expat

Brand New Digs For Spinback Fitness

Nyima Pratten

Our favourite spinning studio, Spinback Fitness, has relocated from Fahuazhen Lu to the more central location of Jiashan Lu, on the corner with Yongkang Lu. We couldn’t wait to check out their new spot and sweat it out on the bikes.

A

stone’s throw away from the sociable bar street of Yongkang Lu, the studio could not have picked a better new location. The venue offers everything you would expect from a spinning studio, including pumping music, disco lights, energetic instructors and a large projector streaming videos of inspiring cycling adventures overhead. Spinback will also be taking delivery of brand new, state of the art bikes very soon, which will have the ability to hook up to the projector and let you cycle exciting routes from all over the world via Google Maps. A perfect activity if you are in need of a private spin one day.

This month, we have the perfect antidote to dry and dull skin suffering from the effects of the city’s pollution.

Scrub and moisturise your way to healthy looking skin with Lalu’s handmade, natural, chemical-free skin food.

Homemade Skin Food

he first thing we noticed about Adja Sy, when we met with her whilst seeking a cure for our skin complaints, was her glowing complexion, the perfect advertisement for her brand. We were suffering from breakouts, dull looking skin and oily patches as a result of the extreme weather and pollution over the last few months.

As many entrepreneurship stories begin, necessity was the mother of invention for this Shanghai expat. When Sy first came to the city, she found that it was almost impossible for her skin to stay looking healthy in the harsh climate, and many of the moisturising creams she found on the shelves of local stores included whitening ingredients. For obvious reasons, these products were not suitable, so instead she learnt how to make her own lotions from an aromatherapist friend.

Sy only recently began to sell her cosmetic products after hearing friends complain about the poor state of their skin from living in Shanghai. Noticing that

Nyima Pratten

there was a niche in the market, she decided to share her secret ingredients with others in the form of her Lalu range.

Sy believes that it is possible to take care of your skin without the unnecessary chemicals found in traditional lotions. She urges others to look carefully at the labels and find alternative ways of giving their skin the nourishment it needs. She combines natural ingredients such as Shea Butter, cocoa, coconut oil, sugar and essential oils to create her chemical-free product line, and she is also able to create customised products to meet the needs of individual customers’ skin types. Sy has an intimate approach when it comes to customer service, “It is a personal touch that I think customers appreciate, and I love to give it. If they are happy, I am happy. And at the end, that is all that matters”.

We got our hands on Lalu Cocoa Body Butter (from RMB 120). It had a rich chocolaty smell, which was so good that we wanted to eat it immediately after unscrewing the lid.

The thick butter began to melt on our hands as our body temperature warmed it. The butter glided on easily to our skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth, but not greasy as some rich body butters do. We also tried a Lalu Apple and Berries Sugar Scrub (RMB 88). The scrub’s scent is not as strong as the body

butter, but the thick sugar crystals work wonders to remove dead particles from your skin, whilst also leaving a thin film of protective oil. For people with less sensitive skin, you can also try it on your face. The Lalu Citrus Flower Oil Massage (RMB 140) had a wonderfully fresh aroma that left us wanting to slather more on as soon as it sank into our skin. Less greasy that other massage oils, we now want to use it as a moisturiser!

Looking to the future, Sy is hoping to expand her product offering and increase her consumer base. She is already trialling spring concoctions such as Pina Colada and Margarita scrubs; you may find it tricky to get out of the shower. She is also hoping to make her products available in a yoga studio and shop next month, so watch this space.

Right now, Sy is offering three of her products for RMB 300. The package includes one large body butter, one scrub and one massage oil.

Fly Me To The Moon @ Gallery Magda Danysz

The latest art news from around the city.

Still: Contemporary Works from a New Generation of Chinese Artists @ Art+ Shanghai The gallery brings together four young Chinese artists in a group exhibition that celebrates the richness and complexity of the contemporary’s flittering moment. The four artists, Huang Yulong, Wei Xiaoguang, Zhang Wei and Zhou Jie, are all mainland Chinese artists, born in the 1980s, whose works are representative of a new trend in Chinese art that combines the appreciation of stillness and reflection of the moment with a continuation of traditional thought, immersive depth and a quiet aesthetic.

Their works of painting and sculpture play with visual perception and

ART TALK

expectations of reality to explore a sense of underlying tension and creation. Life is experienced as a continual series of moments, with each vibrating between the past and future. Still: Contemporary Works from a New Generation of Chinese Artists is thus the pensive celebration of that tense, unsure moment of present potential.

Fly Me To The Moon is an original project by Ludo, a rising star on the street-art scene, at the end of his first trip to the city. The exhibition groups a series of works on canvas around a specific pattern as well as sculptures and a video about his adventure in Shanghai during his working process.

Since 2007, Ludo has tagged his gigantic vegetable-robotics creatures around many of the word’s streets. He reawakens urban spaces by bringing an element of nature into the city.

He quickly became noted as an artist of his generation and, in 2013, he exhibited at the Centre Georges Pompidou.

His work is marked by the recurrent utilisation of his emblematic fluorescent green. Ludo references our environment and tries to highlight some humility by appealing to our human side.

For Ludo, his first experience of Shanghai was a big visual shock, yet at the same time, a huge source of inspiration.

The city magnetised him and pushed him to capture the movement of the city. He created a series of canvases in which the central figure is a bee equipped with a gas

mask. He then worked with matter such as dust, fragments and other materials taken from the streets. In this exhibition, Ludo displays two large canvases and eight bold sculptures, emblematic of his work.

Fly Me To The Moon runs from 21 March to 16 May @ Gallery Magda Danysz. 188 Linqing Lu, near Yangshupu Lu. Tel: 5513 9599. Web: www.magda-gallery.com

“ i ” @ MOCA

“Social Factory: The 10th Shanghai Biennale” @ Power Station Of Art Entitled, “Social Factory”, the 10th Biennale asks what characterises the production of the social, and how “social facts” are constituted. A recurring point of reference is the year 1978, acknowledged as a turning point in the recent history of modernity.

1978 was also the year in which Deng Xiaoping, who was to become China’s most influential leader in the following decades, initiated his landmark socio-economic Reform and Opening, re-invoking Mao Zedong’s 1938 exhortation to “seek truth from facts”– a practice that sought to separate accounts of objective reality from subjective imagination. “Social Factory” contrasts this principle with the call to use fiction as a means of social reform made by earlier seminal Chinese modernisers, such as scholar and journalist Liang Qichao, and China’s seminal social critic and writer Lu Xun, who wrote The Story of Ah Q, Diary of a Madman, among others.

In this vein, the Biennale explores an interlocking set of questions: What is the relationship between the social and the fictive

in the construction and re-construction of society? How has the production of the social changed throughout 20th century modernity? Has the production of the social entered a new phase with the massive influx of “sociometric” technologies, the extraction of data and digital profiling and the increasing automisation of social processes in algorithms? And does China's premodern history of social systematisation through unparalleled bureaucratic machinery and archiving capabilities echo in the country’s current processes of social fabrication? How can we grasp the simultaneous impact of history and that of technology on subjectification today? And how does the general process of acceleration and diversification of subjectification play out in the case of China and its current era of social reconstruction?

“Social Factory: The 10th Shanghai Biennale” runs until 31 March @ Power Station Of Art. 200 Huayuangang Lu, near Miaojiang Lu. Tel: 3127 8535. Web: www.powerstationofart.org

Gu Changwei is one of China’s most popular film directors and his Contemporary Art Exhibition explores more of the creative genius behind the man. Gu began studying art in his pre-college days. In 1978, he enrolled into the Cinematography Department of Beijing Film Academy, which aided his entry into the movie industry. His practice and exploration of contemporary art, however, has so far remained largely unknown to the public.

In this exhibition, the artist used different media including video, twodimensional pieces and installation.

All the works are closely linked to our daily lives and yet they have represented an unexpected and extraordinary splendour.

In front of these works,

we question ourselves and derive all kinds of solutions, which also hide behind the artist's interpretation of the contemporary social values and thinking of the current physical existence. To explain his motivation in creating these works, Gu quotes from Marcel Duchamp: “Art is not about itself but about the attention we bring to it. “i” runs until 31 March @ Museum of Contemporary Art.

Suzhou’s Majestic Gardens & Museums

20 TalkMagazine

March15

There is an old saying, “'Just as there is paradise in Heaven, there are Suzhou and Hangzhou on Earth”.

Suzhou, the city a mere 30-minute train journey away from Shanghai, is still regarded in China as one of the country’s most beautiful garden cities. It even has relevance around the world and Giorgio Armani recently launched their new perfume, Pivoine Suzhou, to evoke the exotic beauty of the ancient settlement. Nine of Suzhou’s gardens are UNESCO World Heritage sites. The Grand Canal

running through Suzhou connects Beijing to the north and Hangzhou Reunion Dinner to the south; it stretches 1800 kilometers and was constructed over 2000 years ago. So, whether it’s on a canal boat slipping through the downtown waterways or on a luxurious yacht cutting an elegant course through the lake at Kempinski Hotel Suzhou, it is a city best seen from the water. However, when you’re not bobbing along the water, here is our pick of the best gardens and museums in the city.

Master Of The Nets This popular garden is one to avoid during the weekends, if you’re not a fan of Chinese tour groups and gap-year looking students.

During the week, you can have the whole place to yourself, barring a couple of backpackers and the

odd local family. With the perfect blend of water, greenery and rocks, The Master of Nets is as close to the quintessential Suzhou garden as you can get these days and is definitely worth a visit during your stay in Suzhou.

Confucian Temple Not really a garden per se, but it makes our list because of the impressive number of bonsai trees dotted around the courtyard.

Understated, and oddly stoic, there

is an aura of power around this place.

Tourists often skip it, but it’s definitely worth having a look. And the best part... it’s free.

Humble Administrator's Garden and Suzhou Garden Museum Located just next door to the Suzhou Museum sits the Humble Administrator's Garden. The first thing that one inevitably notices about the garden is its immense

size. The largest in Suzhou, the garden's area is over 50,000 square metres and resembles something more akin to a public park than it does a garden. Don't let its name fool you, there's nothing particularly humble about this garden except its moniker.

Working your way through the garden's paths up to the pavilions and around the reflecting pools churning with schools of goldfish, you're poised to see one of the many rockeries on display in the garden. If you're traveling with children, this will undoubtedly be the highlight.

These stone sculptures are carved to appear like naturally-occurring rock formations, but full of winding staircases and tunnels; they are the Ming Dynasty equivalent of a jungle gym.

On the way out, be sure to catch a glimpse of the scale model of the complex in the museum, allowing you to get a sense of the garden's layout and design.

Kunqu Museum and Pingtan Museum Just around the corner from each other on Zhangjiazhong Xiang, just off Pingjiang Lu, you'll find the Pingtan Museum and the Kunqu Museum. Pingtan is a form of traditional Chinese folk music featuring duets between a man and a woman typically concerning love and courtship. You'll know you've found the museum when you get to a bronze statue of three Qing Dynasty men and a rickshaw. The museum is concerned mostly with the history of the art form, often hosting (Chinese only) talks by pingtan professionals.

A little further down the road from Pingjiang Lu, you'll know you've found the Kunqu Musuem when you see an iron gate guarded by two stone lions. Kunqu is a form of traditional Chinese opera developed in Southern China. If you're lucky, when stepping inside the museum you'll be able to catch the practice or maybe even the performance of one of the local troupes.

Panmen Gate It’s not surprising that this place made the list. Busy most of the time, it’s not a place to go to clear your mind. But despite its irritating popularity, its size and content makes it an absolute must when visiting Suzhou. With a massive pagoda in the centre of the garden and a sizable lake, Panmen is a pretty special place.

Suzhou Museum The Suzhou Museum not only holds works of art, it is itself a work of art. Designed by the famed architect IM Pei, the central structure of the museum evokes traditional Suzhounese architecture while displaying Pei's unique, angular style. Whitewashed sections of walls framed by dark wooden joints create a kaleidoscopic series of acute triangles mirrored in a central reflecting pool, conjuring Suzhou's famed gardens, but also suggesting futurity.

While the structure itself points towards the future, the exhibits themselves remain firmly anchored in the past. The collection spans a massive time period from the Neolithic all the way through to the

Qing Dynasty. Not to be missed is the collection of bamboo, wood and ivory carvings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. One carved elephant tusk displays dozens of figures crammed together in dizzying detail, a particularly fitting sight, no doubt, if you're visiting the museum on a busy day.

On the way out, you'll pass through the beautifully preserved Qing Dynasty home of Li Xiucheng, one of the commanders of the army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. He's also called Zhong Wang or the “Loyal King” due to his refusal to take part in a plot to assassinate Hong Xiuquan, leader of the Taiping Rebellion.

The Couple’s Retreat Garden

The Canglang Pavilion Located opposite the temple, this often ignored, but thoroughly enjoyable, garden is a perfect remedy to the stresses of city of life.

Just off the main road, you could be forgiven for thinking that it would be a noisy and un-relaxing affair, but this place is a gem. In particular, the bamboo forest is a real treat, and something not many of the other gardens have to offer.

Despite its name, this garden is not especially romantic.

Apparently, the name comes from the fact that there are two gardens attached to the house, one to the east and one to the west. That being said, there are a lot of worse places you could take a loved one for a stroll. With beautiful scenery and a genuine sense of calm, this garden is a real treat. You can spend hours walking through the rockeries and trees letting your mind wander.

Local Talk: Pingjiang Lu Pingjiang Lu is a quaint street in Suzhou Old Town. The road runs adjacent to a small waterway complete with gondolas. With a wealth of charming shops, cafes and restaurants, take your time buying trinkets and grazing on Suzhou delicacies as you lazily walk over to the Humble Administrator's Garden and Suzhou Garden Museum.

My Suzhou

Gerhard Bosse, General Manager, Kempinski Hotel Suzhou Born in Germany, Gerhard Bosse started his 20-year career in hospitality in Germany with Kempinski Hotel Airport, München. He then held management positions with different Kempinski hotels in properties around Europe and the Middle East. Prior to his move to China in 2013, he served as Hotel Manager of Hotel Indonesia, Kempinski Jakarta. After two years in Suzhou, he is ready to tell Talk why Suzhou is indeed “paradise on earth”.

Talk: What is your favourite spot in Suzhou?

Gerhard Bosse: I like the Paulaner Beer Garden at the Kempinski Hotel Suzhou best, and I also like to walk along our jetty with the view over Dushu Lake.

Talk: Suzhou is divided into three sections, the Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP), the old city and the Suzhou Development Zone (SND).

What do you think is the character of each?

GB: I enjoy the contrast between the old part, where Suzhou really looks like it was 100 years ago and then the modern part, where I compare Suzhou to Singapore, Dubai or any other modern capital. The best part is that I can reach both areas by bicycle and I can get to Shanghai in 30 minutes by train!

Talk: What’s your favourite sightseeing spot in the old city?

GB: I like to stroll the Pinjang Road, sit somewhere and watch the people.

Talk: Is there is a local type of food that you’ve discovered you like?

GB: I like all Chinese food, but my top favourite is Suzhou savoury mooncakes filled with meat, but I also like the Suzhou noodles very much. Suzhou’s Hairy Crabs taste nice, but I find them pretty complicated to eat.

Talk: What differentiates Kempinski Hotel Suzhou from the other hotels in and around the garden city of Suzhou?

GB: Kempinski Hotel Suzhou is one of the leading MICE hotels in East China, with meeting capacity for up to 3000 guests. For potential MICE guests, the hotel has outstanding banquet facilities, including a pillarless 1850 square metre Grand Ballroom with a 15 metre high ceiling, plus a pillarless 630 square meter State Ballroom with an eight metre high ceiling. In addition, the hotel offers ten meeting rooms ranging in capacity from 20 to 200 guests. All public areas also have complimentary Wi-Fi connectivity.

The three restaurants (international, Chinese and German) offer a combined seating space for up to 1000 guests per meal period.

This is excluding the outdoor park where we can arrange, subject to weather conditions, anything from a 1000 person lunch buffet to romantic candlelight dinner by the lake for only two guests.

For weekend leisure guests, the hotel has a marvellous lakeside garden that encourages them to

step out and appreciate the green scenery and enjoy the refreshing lake breeze during their stay. Apart from this, our 50-meter, Olympicsized, indoor heated swimming pool and our family entertainment and education programme are highlights as well. The hotel also offers a 27 hole golf course right next door, which is managed by IMG. Finally, Kempinski Hotel Suzhou will launch a professional Sailing Club in March. We will offer cruises along Dushu Lake and Jinji Lake for up to 30 guests for pure pleasure, and we will offer professional sailing lessons for children and adults to learn the secrets of this fantastic sport.

Talk: What are the main differences between your old life in Jakarta and your new life in Suzhou?

GB: Compared to my hotel next to Dushu Lake, Jakarta was very noisy.

When I wake up at the Kempinski Hotel Suzhou, I sometimes check whether everything is ok, because it is so silent.

Talk: What’s the international community like in Suzhou?

GB: It’s growing and many international companies have at least one or two expats on their payroll. I believe that the saying, “Suzhou is China light” for newcomers is absolutely right, since it is a very convenient and modern environment.

24 Hours In Kunshan The Shanghai to Nanjing high-speed railway can get you from Shanghai to Kunshan, part of Suzhou, within 20 minutes, which means that there is no excuse for Shanghai residents not to spend a day or so enjoying all that Kunshan has to offer. We just suggest that you buy your ticket at least a day ahead of time and bring your passport when you do to avoid long delays on the day. But enough of that, on to Kunshan!

Scattered along the alleyways are small local shops selling everything, from food and clothes, to tourist gifts and even live pets! Make sure you try the local Zhouzhuang food, Wansan pork hock, named after the richest family during the Ming dynasty. The pork is stewed with herbs and spices for a whole day, giving it a very rich and succulent flavour and making it the perfect lunchtime treat.

T

he first thing that strikes you about the restaurant upon entering is the artistic and modern design.

Situated in a futuristic-looking cocoon floating above the hotel’s lobby, the interior decoration was aptly the brainchild of internationally renowned Japanese design firm Tofu Inc. and their lead designer, Yoshifumi Tanaka.

As is the Japanese way, the attention to detail is obvious from the gold leaf paintings on the pillars, the stacked sake cup instillation and the expensivelooking, long wooden bar, where the accomplished team of chefs prepare the dishes.

Japanese Chef, Takayuki Takeda, runs a tight ship in his kitchen and he hand-selects the finest seafood and ingredients. He is on a mission to show the world the finest in Japanese cuisine, and has been doing so for more than 30 years. However, he is not a traditionalist and is happy to allow modern and fusion elements of Japanese cuisine slip into his dishes. After all, he says, “It’s what the customer wants”.

The restaurant is perfectly located in the middle of the city near a bustling business district and is therefore ideal for business lunches with friends or associates. The restaurant caters to this crowd with their signature bento boxes and sushi sets, which start from RMB 138. We suggest trying a customised bento box consisting of a two-tier wooden container showcasing

the finest sushi, sashimi, house-made bean curd, pickles and cold dishes along with a bowl of rich tasting, homemade miso soup Apart from the set lunches, the menu at 88 Sushi Bento Bar consists mostly of cold items created with fresh fish and seafood selected daily by the chef, along with a set dinner menu. Highlights of our visit was the homemade tofu, so rich in flavour that it was almost pudding-like, scallops seared with a blow torch in front of our very eyes and, our favourite, uni that was so fresh, it was the sweetest we have ever tasted. All the other Japanese staples are also available such as sushi, nigiri, maki, temaki, pickles,

salads and Japanese-themed deserts.

This is an extremely refined restaurant, which has thought of everything a customer might want before they have even arrived. For instance, we didn’t even know that we needed the option of three different flavours of salt; grapefruit wasabi and matcha, but now we can’t live without them. Furthermore, their beverage menu provides the perfect accompaniment to fresh seafood, with five signature cocktails using Japanese ingredients, plus a select offering of sakes, plum wines, Japanese whiskeys and Japanese draft beer.

Why: To experience Chef Daniel Negreira’s first restaurant in Shanghai for yourself

S

panish chef, Daniel Negreira was awarded the title of best young chef in the Basque Country, by Bocuse D’Or, and this recognition has served as the foundation of the great reputation he has built over the following years.

The creative chef’s perfectionism is manifested in the obvious attention to detail paid to each of the five senses in the creation of every dish. His restaurants in Taipei, El Toro and DN Innovación, gained a solid standing as some of the best restaurants in Asia, including best foreign cuisine restaurant in Taipei in ‘Asia's Finest Restaurants Top 500’ (2013).

In a unique location, the new Shanghai restaurant is located on the doorstep of the Lujiazui financial district

and offers unobstructed views of The Bund across the stretch of water. Outdoor dining is also available for the summer months, making it an extremely memorable occasion especially when enjoyed on a clear night.

This is in no doubt a fine dining experience, and the prices are set to match this positioning (set menus start from RMB 398 per person and increase considerably).

Wine is also taken very seriously at the venue, with wine selections made by expert sommelier, Ken Hsih, in order to enrich the experience received from every dish, so you will also need to account for this cost.

When we visited, we started with a Norwegian salmon mousse topped with tomato caviar. Served in a tin, this extremely fishy titbit was fresh and briny. Next up was “one bite” of mushroom that was over before it began, but left a lasting impact. We were told that there were twenty types of mushrooms used to create this tiny mouthful, an example of the chef’s meticulousness. We tried another small bite, this time chicken soup coulant, topped with truffles and

served on a wooden spoon resting on a grass mound positioned on a slate board. The flavourful chicken soup burst out of its encasing onto our palates and was quickly consumed. Our favourite dish of the day was next, foie gras cake. The carrot cake and soft foie texture was set against a backdrop of rich, sweet and savoury flavours.

We then slurped up a “not that simple egg”, which, as you can imagine, was extremely complex. The egg yolk was infused with truffle oil and had a surprising centre.

Spoiler alert: it’s not yolk. Our final dish, before the mains were paraded out, was the Mediterranean aromas barbecue, which was unlike any barbecue we have come across. A solitary and perfectly grilled scallop was placed in front of us, atop smouldering pine leaves, filling our nostrils with a wonderfully nostalgic scent.

For the mains, we were treated to Iberico pork, cooked for seven hours. A homage to the chef’s country of origin, the tender, juicy pork was done right and served with a liquorice infusion. Then it was the turn of the Wagyu beef tenderloin with “just a corn on the cob”.

Once again, all was not as it seemed, and the side was actually pulverised corn with saffron moulded into the shape of corn on the cob.

Finally, we just about had room for dessert, which included a beautifully presented berry garden tiramisu.

The showstopper of the meal, “the candle”, comes to your table lit, but is in actual fact white chocolate encasing a nut cheesecake with raspberry filling. Delicious.

This is an extravagant dining option, metres from the centre of Lujiazui. Go there to impress and be impressed.

Second Helpings: Jade On 36 Restaurant @ Pudong Shangri-La East Shanghai Nyima Pratten

What: European fusion cuisine with a twist Where: 33 Fucheng Lu, near Yincheng Dong Lu. Tel: 6882 8888 ext. 6888. Web: www. shangri-la.com.

Why: To check out the dynamic restaurant’s brand new vibe

E

ver since the popular chef, FranckElie Laloum, left Jade on 36, the restaurant has been searching for a new identity, and now they have found it in the form of new chef de cuisine, Jeremy Biasiol, with a revamped atmosphere and contemporary menu.

The new face of the restaurant, Chef Biasiol, is a French national from Lyon. He brings to the table 20 years of experience in French gastronomy and has previously worked at Michelin-starred restaurants around the world including running a onestarred Michelin restaurant in Hong Kong.

Dining in the restaurant is a fun and mischievous adventure. From the minute you enter the dedicated elevator, with a graffiti covered chalkboard, the dining experience has begun. This is not a pretentious French restaurant boasting

a slight view of the Bund, it is a lively venue that does not take itself too seriously, is warm and welcoming and has a fantastic, unobstructed view over the length of The Bund.

Furthermore, and probably the most welcomed news of all, the price range of the menu is extremely reasonable.

We tried the signature dish of the restaurant, which lives up to its playful nature, Jade 36 Garden (RMB 66), a salad presented in a black clay pot filled with edible soil and colourful vegetables served as cute little plants, a fresh and quirky start to proceedings. We really enjoyed the Foie Gras “Tagada”, made of pan-seared

foie gras served with foie gras lollipops and strawberries (2 pieces/ RMB 158).

We loved the perfectly seared confit and the creamy foie gras centre of the strawberry covered lollipop, but the standout feature of this dish was the popping candy, which sounds wrong but was oh so right in our mouths.

A welcome discovery was the Oyster Surprise (1 piece/RMB 48 – surprise!), which also featured yuzu, champagne jelly

and herbs. We also enjoyed the large, pan-seared scallops served in their shell with cauliflower curry (2 piece/RMB 98).

It was impossible to resist the sound of slow cooked Boston lobster (RMB 368), so we pushed the boat out. The dish was oven baked, and served with pasta; the lobster claws were divine. We rounded off our meal with Les Crème Brulee (RMB 68), which offered dark, milk and white chocolate varieties of the dessert on one plate, served with brioche.

70 to 80 per cent of the produce used in the kitchen is sourced locally, which means that the ingredients are fresh and it also cuts the costs to the customer. This was a fine dining experience where you get fantastic views of The Bund, high quality food and sensible prices. You will also benefit from fantastic service, as you expect from the Shangri-La brand, with knowledgeable and attentive waitstaff.
