Sept 1-15: Mooncakes by Blue Frog
Blue Frog may be inspired by the American traditions of its founder, but that doesn’t mean it ignores Chinese holidays. Through Mid-Autumn Festival, just RMB35 can get you a set of two mooncakes. And during the holiday itself, spend RMB350 on your meal and get two mooncakes for free. Mooncakes available from Sep 1-15.
See a listing for Blue Frog.
Through Jan 7: Andy Warhol: Contact
Andy Warhol: Contact features pioneering film, photography and interactive installations by one of the 20th century’s most influential and famous artists. It’s a major solo exhibition – running until next January – and for good reason: Warhol’s career spanned decades, from silent film photography in the 1960s to polaroid-shot portraits throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Keep an eye out for cameos by a bevy of Warhol’s famous subjects: Bob Dylan, Lou Reed and Edie Sedgwick, plus more. There is also an installation of Warhol’s ‘Silver Clouds’, shimmering pillow-like shapes, which float serenely through the exhibition space. There are plenty more surprises to be had, so check it out for your fifteen minutes of fame.
Tue-Sun, 10.30am-6pm, through Jan 7, 2017; RMB60 (RMB40 for students); M Woods, see event listing.
Sept 3: A Coco Xue Exhibition
Another shining example of mobile photography as a trailblazing function, A Coco Xue Exhibition showcases mobile phone pics taken by photographer Coco Xue. The opening day (Sep 3) includes a panel discussion and multimedia show, while mobile photography coaching and other activities will be offered throughout the exhibition.
Sep 3-9; Sokart Mall, see event listing.
Sept 4: Buena Onda x White Tiger Village Pop Up: Asado De Oaxaca Mexico
We were all bummed when Hatchery closed its doors last month. But the good news is they’re heading back to the kitchen – White Tiger Village’s kitchen to be exact – on Sunday. They’re going to be serving up a Oaxacan street food feast called "Asado de Oaxaca." There will be loads of marinated meats and grilled vegetables (guests can choose between a meat and non-meat set menu), salsas, pickles and lots of guacamole. The set menu also includes a Mexican-style cocktail. But you can sip on craft beers and artisan wines too.
Sun Sept 4, 1pm, 6pm and 8pm seating times. RMB188. Purchase tickets via Yoopay by 6pm Sept 1. Click here to register.
