Interview: Grace Before Meals post-rocking Shanghai
A big THANKS to all our Independence Day Party sponsors
Around Shanghai: No more airplane temperature checks, but we're getting a Wall St. Bull and Linkin Park!
Boing Boing points us to this interesting art installation by Chinese artist Liu Jianhua who recreated the Shanghai skyline from dice and poker-chips. This was exhibited at the Galleria Continua in San Gimignano, Italy. A close-up shot follows after the jump. [Photos by Cinghialino]

Interesting, although his choice of material limits his ability to really create a likeness of the Shanghai skyline. I am guessing I am supposed to see this as abstract art that, due to the nature of the materials, makes a statement about modern China. Or was the artist just bored one Sunday afternoon in a gambling accessories factory?
Bases are loaded!
I can not quite figure out what i am looking at though. Is the detail picture the Pudong skyline seen from the East? And on the overview picture the separate smaller piece is the Bund?
