A couple of weeks ago we went to the Shanghai Biennale. Poppet got super excited because a few months ago I had taken him to the Sydney Biennale and he loved it. In fact he found it hard to get to sleep that night because he kept wanting to talk about the exhibitions. His sentences all began with ‘And do you remember the one with…’.
Poppet was convinced the Shanghai Biennale was going to be held on Cockatoo Island and we had to take a ferry to get there, just like in Sydney. In fact it was held at an old thermal power station and the site was perfect. Huge ceilings and stairs, little rooms leading to massive open spaces, traces of old machinery and huge windows with magnificent views.
I only took my iPhone and not my 5D but here are a few photos anyway.








Hi Teresa, sounds and looks like you are having a ‘feast’ of experiences. The performance on West Lake looks so beautiful. Luc-Xuhao is so fortunate to be enriched in this way. Lots of memories to draw on when you return. Can you imagine what his news will be like, back at his first week at school!

Very funny Judy, I can just imagine him trying to explain the performance and everyone thinking he’s making it up. All my love to the family. ciao, Teresa.
