    • The Life and Art of Louise Bourgeois at Long Museum

      'The Eternal Silk' is Long Museum's most important exhibition of 2018, no doubt. Featuring the sculptures, installations, and paintings from art world heavyweight Louise Bourgeois’s 70+ year career, the show pays tribute to a woman widely regarded as one of most influential female contemporary artists of the 20th century. It is the French-American artist's first large-scale exhibition in China. It’s heavy, and not just the emotional response. Often built on a grand scale, her artwork is physically imposing. Read on

    • Dirty Bread, Nutella Croissants at Seoul Export 'Our Bakery'

      If there’s one thing that turns China’s F&B investors on, it’s the promise of wanghong status: ‘internet famous’ establishments that spawn lines of the young, flush and impressionable clamoring at the door for a taste of your product – which ideally cost the price of a steamed bun to make. It’s screamingly obvious this was the goal for Our Bakery, a newly-opened behemoth minimalist café. A trendy foreign import with three branches in its home city of Seoul, inside, the double height-ceilings, soft white lighting, floor-to-ceiling windows and sharp, Spartan interiors almost beseech you to photograph them. On the door, a schedule of the day’s baking roster details times at which certain delicacies appear, beckoning food bloggers with promise of peak-freshness. Read on

    • Acrobatic Show ERA is Back, This Time in a Tent

      ERA: Intersection of Time, Shanghai’s best-known acrobatic show, halted production back in June after a thirteen-year run. Now the show is back in a new tent a stone’s throw away from the original Shanghai Circus World arena. The tent provides a bigger space, a new screen “bigger than IMAX” and new lighting and sound. One of the show’s creators said the tent will bring a playful element to the show. That's pretty much it on changes; they are keeping the rest of the show in its original form. The first in-tent show will be on November 24 and they plan to keep on keeping on for another thirteen years. Ticket info here; as they say: "If you miss it, you miss Shanghai."

    • Chef Lessons: A Grand Old Interview with Stefan Stiller

      How's your Stefan Stiller trivia? Not so good? Do you know how much he was in debt by the time he was 25? Do you know why he came to China? When? Where? How old he was when he got his first Michelin star and the story behind that? What the move from Tai'an Table 1.0 to v2.0 was like? Well, I sat down with the man behind one-star restaurant Tai'an Table a couple of months ago and we talked about all that and more for Japanese chef site Foodion. If the chef world is something you're interested in, click over there and have a read.

    • Jaden Smith Cancels Show Last Minute, But There's Other Stuff to See

      Jaden Smith has cancelled his Nov 15 showing at Arkham. His team confirmed it in a letter that just cited "unforeseen scheduling conflicts," and promised the Even Fresher Prince of Bel-Air would try and reschedule. Truly a catastrophe for fans of the hip-hops, but we've got three alternatives if you're still looking for a show. Georgia's J.I.D. is performing at Arkham on Nov 16, as part of WR/OC Music Festival. The day after, Nov 17 sees Machine Gun Kelly performing at Modern Sky Lab. On Nov 22, Arkham sees electronic crossed with trumpets and funk/soul/RnB in the form of Brasstracks. Plenty to hear and see, Shanghai, never fear.

    • Cindy Sherman and Her Many Faces: On Now at the Fosun Foundation

      Cindy Sherman is a chameleon. The post-modern feminist photographer shape-shifts through conceptual portraits, changing her look for every piece with the help of props, heavy make-up and even prosthetics, to comment on whatever social trend needs commenting on at the time. For her first solo show in China, which opened last week on the South Bund, she presents both older black and white work and newer, more pointed work looking at social media, new media and the current state of fashion. The visual cues are uncanny; the work is often uncomfortably direct. Read on

    • China Social Club Ventures into Natural Wine with ‘Wine Lips’

      Matthew Hildebrandt (DJ Frau) and Phillip James (DJ PCJ) have been playing music and throwing parties in the indie club scene for the past five years. Together they make up China Social Club, a music promotion house and agency passionate about exposing up-and-coming Chinese artists. Now, in addition to regular gigs and running the NTS Radio Shanghai studio, the Australian pair are putting on parties for the wine curious as Wine Lips. Ahead of their next Wine Lips event at Beverly this Thursday night (November 15), we sat down with Matt and Phil to talk about their new project. Read on

    • The Pearl Throwing Huge B-Day Bash This Friday, Cabaret Wansui

      A reminder for those who like handsome crooning men, funky Russian musicians, men who affix "The Penguin" to their name, and all of that kooky revelry stuff: The Pearl is going huge with the cabaret this Friday as they turn five years young. That means Chad (the crooner), The Red Stars (the funky Russians), Jeremy The Penguin (uh...), Stephanie the Queen of Silk Aerials and more. There's always more behind those red velvet curtains, isn't there Grant? If that's your thing, buy some tickets, why don't you.

    • The Latest in Trends, Triple P: Milk in a Chanel Bottle

      Is there no limit to the gimmicks? Even in a city obsessed with wang hong, from bread rolls stuffed with mayonnaise to rainy art exhibits, the latest seems incredible: milk. Milk. The stuff you pour on cereal in the morning. Milk, the stuff Chinese people are supposedly not able to drink because they are lactose-intolerant. Milk. It’s now the hottest thing for a segment of the population queuing on Changle Lu on the weekends. Meet Triple P, wang hong milk window. Read on

    • Crazy Week of Drinking: The World's Best Bars Pop-Up in Shanghai

      I don't even drink and I care about this. A number of the world's best bartenders, from many of the world's best bars (The Connaught, Native, Dead Rabbit, Happiness Forgets), are trickling into town ahead of Drink Magazine's annual Bar Awards, which take place on the 19th. And while the awards themselves are hard to get into, the pop-ups are not, and are a really great opportunity to meet, berate, love and appreciate some of best people in the world at mixing this liquid with that liquid in a nice glass. So where to go? Who to see? We've got your schedule right here. Read on

    • The LINE: A New Spot for Handmade Jewelry, Candles, and More

      The LINE, a brightly lit street-side concept store, has opened on Changle Lu, selling handmade jewelry by European and Chinese designers as well as all-natural candles, lip balm, and homemade hand cream. Easy to miss but full of goodies for holiday shopping, the shop gives a permanent home to a number of indie brands you may have seen around the various markets. Read on

    • Slither and Burp: Beer Plus Adds SNAKE MENU to Yunnan Lu Shop

      While I've been over here pondering exactly how much styrofoam is safe for my cats to eat, the luminous minds behind Beer Plus have been doing the real work, the mental heavy-lifting, searching for the gaps in the cutthroat Shanghai beverage business. You see, the bottle shop space is saturated. We have enough. At the same time, the snake restaurant scene is in good balance, supply and demand-wise. For most people, that's where the calculation ends. But for Beer Plus? Fuck no. They have clearly identified that there are places where you can drink craft beer, and there are places where you can eat snakes, but there are no places where you can drink craft beer and eat snakes. Until now. Read on

    • The Mansion, Shanghai’s Ultimate Party House, is Donezo

      They took a break for the expo, but The Mansion has announced they will be closing for good January 15. Hats off to the young DJs, basement dwellers, rave queens and all of those who do their part to keep the scene seedy. It’s a major triumph such a ratchet spot was able to party on for six years in a residential patch of Shanghai. And it's not over. There's still time to rage until 9am in total darkness. The Mansion will be hosting soirées from November 16 to its dying breath in the New Year. Details? Read on
