Eating distance The group exhibition “Eating distance” is a constellation of works that attempt to restart hospitality and sharing thoughts in a time of reduced mobility worldwide. Through hosting the visitors at a dinner table while sharing a meal between Linz and Beijing, they start to untangle complex histories and question current issues, from globalisation, cross-cultural communication to predicting the future through fortune telling. This first serving of art, food and politics introduces some of the issues and ideas that are pressing for our current time.
As in many parts of the world, the past year has not been great for live music in Beijing. In addition to the coming and going of COVID-19 restrictions, Temple Bar, a favorite among Beijing gig-goers, closed earlier in the year.
However, there is reason to believe that the live music scene in the capital is in good hands. On Sunday, May 30, Music Dish held an event entitled ‘Get Unplugged’ at Aotu Space in Beixinqiao.
The evening began with a songwriting workshop from singer-songwriter Da Gun, a talent Music Dish’s Eric de Fontenay discovered at the Sofar Sounds event. De Fontenay said he was impressed by her “wonderfully textured voice and delivery of her original songs.”

While Qingming Festival and Easter duke it out for our attention – wicker baskets, fire bins, and all – the music scene has other plans and could care less about who’s grave we’ll be sweeping or where your chocolate eggs are hiding. And I’m okay with that. More tunes to soak in over the long weekend, more opportunities to check out some new bands, and plenty of time to recover from whatever it was you ingested the previous night. It’s a whirlwind of a weekend – one full of reggae, noise rock, post-rock, metal, indie pop, and punk music in all shades of black. Happy holidays!
