Amanda Mooney: Here are a few of my favorite bits from Inner Spaces:
“There is a real craving for novelty and originality rampaging through Shanghai and China. It’s not necessarily a big wave, but it’s here, blooming in many unexpected places, growing through talented artists who realize the essential bottom-line: An artist’s only home is art, not an abstract identity belonging to passport and language.” -Didjelirium
“A lot of young people here have a lot of pressure during childhood, they don’t have free time to care about or explore art and music. Besides, there are too many restrictions in China to have proper underground parties. Noise complaints, outdoor events restricted to end by 10PM, no clubs allowing you to pass flyers outside; This makes it very hard… but we are trying.” -MIA
“I want people to put work out that really reflects who they are, and that they put blood, sweat and tears into. I feel many young artists are more concerned with having a release out than a truly personal release. It feels more like craftsmanship than artistry.” -Tzu Sing
