Photos of the event May 25

After seven years in its present location, the Consulate General of Switzerland in Shanghai will move to new and larger premises in May 2002. In line with the spectacular development of Shanghai over the last few years, the Consulate General has outgrown its present facilities.

To mark the move, an exciting and not very typical open-door event will be organized in the offices of the Consulate General on Xian Xia Road 88, West Tower, Suite 302 in Hongqiao on Saturday May 25 from 10 AM to 4 PM. The event is organized in co-operation with SHANGHART, Shanghai's leading Gallery for Chinese contemporary art.

The Consulate General will be fully handed over to Chinese artists from Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui for the day. They will exhibit their work in the vacated offices or demonstrate their creativity on the walls, ceiling, floors of the Consulate. Artists such as JIN WEIHONG, ZHOU TIEHAI, GENG JIANYI, PU JIE, LIANG SHAOJI, XUE SONG, DING YI, YANG ZHENGZHONG and many others will be present during the day. Refreshments will be served to the visitors.

The bureaucrats meet the artists! Don't miss this unique opportunity and come to convince yourself that this atypical combination can be a winning one.
