Adventures of the White Owl

I am living in Hangzhou, China for one year as a Senior Scholar at China Academy of Art. I will be learning Chinese in the Fall and then will be an honorary student for "Experimental Art" in the Spring. This blog will document my experiences and the art here. China is modernizing and assuming a powerful global position, I am excited and honored to be able to experience and see what is happening first hand. I hope to share as much as possible here with you.
