Art Labor > Charlie Xia - New Photography
Shanghai photographer Charlie Xia already has a reputation as one of the best documentarians of Shanghai nightlife and events, with an undeniable natural ability to capture the true zest of parties and their participants, people celebrating life at the best of times in a city reborn. Not yet seen before in solo exposition however, are Charlie Xia's experiments in capturing the essence of quotidian Shanghai: the citizens, the landmark structures, the roads and systems that tie them together. These analog photographs juxtapose abstract light with landmarks, citizens with their surroundings through the creative and technically skilled use of lenses and framing, making original work of stunning beauty. Come and have a cup of tea or glass of wine and enjoy these new works. Starts 4pm | show flyer
Joke of the week

After her fifth child, Lucy decided that she should have some cosmetic surgery "down below" to restore herself to her former youthful glory. Time and childbirth had taken its toll and she reckoned that, with five children now being the limit, she'd tidy things with a nip here and a tuck there. Following the operation she awoke from her anaesthetic to find three dozen roses at the end of the bed. Who are these from ?" she asked the nurse, "They're very nice but I'm a bit confused as to why I've received them." "Well" said the nurse, "The first dozen is from the surgeon - the operation went so well and you were such a model patient that he wanted to say thanks." "Ahhh, thats really nice" said Lucy. "The second is from your husband - he's delighted the operation was such a success that he can't wait to get you home. Apparently it'll be the first time he's touched the sides for years and he's very excited!" "Brilliant!" said Lucy. "And the third?" "Thats from Eric in the burns unit" said the nurse. "He just wanted to say thanks for his new ears!"
