The artists here don't make studios out of old warehouses like they do in London, here they build them from scratch. The buildings look like a cross between Brookside Close and Auschwitz, they are very strange, but inside they are massive and it feels like a luxury to be able to work in such a vast space for a month.

I don't think privacy exists as a concept in China. Everyone eats in big groups, they never close the doors in the toilets, they have massive arguments on the streets, they stare at you, and they seem a lot less reserved in conversation than the English do.
