We are happy to announce that we are going to China! We have been invited to Luxun Academy of Fine Arts (LAFA) in Shenyang to do a guest talk and a workshop, and we will probably also be visiting some other schools in the area. LAFA is one of the top art academies in China with varieties of specialties and departments and excellent academic staff, according to Saatchi Gallery’s website. We are very honoured to have received this invitation and also exited to finally have settled on a date, as we’ve been planning this trip for nearly a year now, since we were first contacted by LAFA student Mu Xulong.
We will be traveling end of May 2010, and after staying at the school for one week, we will spend a few days in Beijing. If anyone knows some interesting places we should go and see in Beijing, please leave a comment!
You can read a little more about the school on Saatchi Gallery’s website or visit the school’s own website here, but you won’t get very far if you don’t read Chinese.

Hey Nanna og Sofie!
An interesting place to see in Beijing would definietly be my apartment!
If you want to I will be more than happy to show you around some nice places – and maybe we can go out and eat pig intestines, toads or other north chinese specialties? If you need I can probably also help you find a free place to sleep.
At the end of May I will also have a visit by the chairman of the Danish Nihilistic Democratic party and we will maybe go to EXPO around that time, so if you are fresh then send me a mail to arrange practicalities and coordinate calenders…
