I was at the Ke Center about a week ago for the opening of their new exhibit, and met the lovely Kat(therine) Don, director of RedBox Studio, who do graphic design and are also involved in the contemporary art scene in China. They made a bunch of these little colorful pocket-sized guides as a bit of a pet project. As you can see from some of the pictures above, the little foldable thing has a map on one side, addresses of some major art venues and galleries in the city, as well as some local and international events. It’s probably a bit more small and handy than having a magazine or guidebook, and perhaps more convenient than common digital forms of information, ie phones (Guanxi, smartphones), especially if you are an out of towner…and just want a simple thing you can slip into a pocket or purse.
I don’t mean to do promo for them. Just something that I noticed and thought was nifty.
