fake and real in Beijing artdistrict 798

Friday 15th of August

We had an appointment with Sheng Sheng, a documentary filmmaker in the @cafe. One of the big suprises of Beijing is that there are real art villages in the city. It feels more like Berlin in there than China. When I saw these art pieces thought of you guys from Pal West and our debate shown on this site" Copying is not allowed".
How real is fake? And is fake not as real as real?
Who is imitating who, and why always the West? And how do you feel as an immigrant? Fake or real in your new country. And if I meet the other? Do I meet a real person or a fake layer of cultural identities i guess the real person has?
Anyway,
I got real philosophical about all this real/fake shit today, while walking and eating in city where the Olympics are , but I only seethe games on TV, just like the rest of the world, but it feels strange to be so close to the real thing and not goiing there.
We are running around, meeting all those incredible nice people who want to help us with organizing the debate on the 20th......Thnk you all in advance, and for the Beijing young people: please participate in the debate ,register and leave us a note on the site......
