05/05/2008: "New Grand Tour"

The New Grand Tour Exhibition presented by Diesel opened on April 30th. It was a celebration of not only artworks by the 5 outstanding artists but also "friendships" that the 5 individuals have built over the years in different parts of the world. Between the walls of amazing art pieces were people from different walks of life and countries, all were gathered for Suitman Young Kim, Jose Parla, Rostarr, Deanne Cheuk and Davi Russo.

Was the New Grand Tour just about a journey through Mainland China, or, was it about the journey of life itself? Either way, what was on display seemed to be much more.


当同事们正忙着杭州展，我却来到了北京，只待了2天。之后再回杭州。到北京参加"Suitman" Young Kim，Jose Parla, Deanne Cheuk, Davi Russo 和 Rostarr 他们The New Grand Tour的开展礼。这几位朋友的作品自己一直都很喜欢，所以如何也不能错过这次展出。一众香港的朋友们也飞来了北京，借题party一下。



Suitman's gigantic vending machine


Jose Parla's works left viewers speechless. A few of these would look great on my walls, Jose. (ahem...)
Jose的画风确实很吸引。有机会的话真的很想放一幅在家中。


Rostarr put up a massive collection of artworks as well.


Fedrico and Young were the main curators of this event. Hats off to these 2 gentlemen, job well done.


RAGE JOHNSON was in charge of spinning the night and the crowd. Misson accomplished. Note the uniform he was sporting, that's a chinese security guard uniform, a nice touch.


Grace & Jill flew over to Beijing from Hong Kong for this. 2 of many many friends who did that to be there that night, myself included.


What's that Suitman sculpture in the display case?? Could it be?...
adFunture为Suitman打造的单品也在展上出现。

Congratulations to the 5 artists for such a successful event. Thank you for having me there, I enjoyed it very much, Young.
