On Sunday morning we watched the “My China” broadcast of the An Eastward Calling which was filmed during summer 2014 while preparing for my first solo show in Beijing.

Holding so many variables all at once was at times intense and very exciting and made for some interesting decision making.

We watched the final cut in the lounge of Dong Yue Art Museum with gallery Director Mr Yuan QuiLai who kindly hosted the screening and assistant Bella Su.
