Tiger Translate in Beijing
Tiger Translate is a branded platform for young and emerging artists from east and west to get together, create and showcase their work. My good old friend Steve Lawler is organizing their events over the past year or so and this time he brought the brand and the artists to Beijing. The event was held at space gallery in 798, which is normally about the hottest place in Beijing during summer time. No wonder they gave out free cold Tiger beers to around a thousand sweaty guests.
It was great to see so many people turn up to an event like this. About two years ago it would not even been half the people present at the Get It Louder, which shows that visual design culture came a long way since. The best part though was that it was almost a hundred percent un-pretentious, something very Beijing!
