When I was studying art, we have been taught to appreciate everyday life and observe the beauty within it. Both artists, Kaarina Kaikkonen and Sivan Askayo found the beauty within the wire and the clothes. (Apparently, in Shanghai, drying the clothes is kinda a massive street art! haha) The art between ordinary life/object and the space has create something so delicate and organized. Now till 8th of October, you have the chance to see Kaarina Kaikkonen's work at Chi K11 in Shanghai andand WOOO it when you see the massive installation.
Wherever you are, going to a cafe, drinking coffee and gossiping in the weekend is the must-do in all the cities. I've post some cafe in shanghai, but most of them are in retro styles. This one, pull me back into this concrete jungle, but strangely I feel quite safe and relaxed here. Seesaw coffee is in Jingan design center and located in the lobby. With the smell of coffee and the lights from the huge windows on the roof, it feels like working in heaven here. My 2nd visit, I was with my laptop working on editing images and posts, I sat for 4 hours, concentrate! That's how a cafe does the magic with the smell and the unique noises that makes you focused! (also how coffitivity works) The coffee here, drunk by the coffee lovers, says they are made with professions and passions. I was a bit disappointed that they don't really sell tea here, but while had a sip of my friends drink, without any sugar and milk, I fall in love with Kanya immediately. (I don't drink coffee, but this one makes me feel good) If you are also a coffee lover, this place also have the coffee seminar occasionally. Please put this cafe into your must-go in Shanghai, believe me, you won't regret it.
