Asian Bloggers needed in Haumau
This post in an invitation to all Asian Bloggers who might be interested to write their posts here in Haumau. You can be of any ethinic origin, so long you are interested in writing something interesting. Whether you are from China, Singapore, Malaysia, or other parts of Asia, I welcome you with open arms.
Now you see, I guess Mr Hau is too busy with his coffee currently in Starbucks to actually write anything. Similarly, due to my tight schedules here in Shanghai, and an umpredictable internet via the Great China Firewall, I have a hard time posting. In fact, I collected so much news articles and thoughts, but I simply have no time to blog about it.
If you live somewhere interesting, have an interesting story to tell, or you have interesting photographs to post, and you are comfortable in writing in English, you are welcome to do so! I currently have a few projects in mind that I never really started off. Here’s a list of them:
- China rock and roll scene
- Chinese Contemporary Art/Art Scenes in Asia
- Travel in China/Interesting places to visit in China
- Culture and Heritage
- Museum and Archaelogy
If you think you might have an interesting topic that might bring some life to this blog, do share you idea. Personally, I really like if someone can share some gastronomy ideas with me so I can test out some good recipes when I have the time over the weekend 
You can drop a comment and I will try to contact you as soon as possible. We can see how all this turns out. Cheers! Don’t shy shy, regardless of race or religion, base on justice and equality, I am pretty open-minded about what you can blog here

Dear Btw,
Let me introduce to you the DSL collection.
The DSL collection is a private collection representing 70 of the leading Chinese avant-garde artists, artists having a major influence on the development of contemporary art in China today. The range of media present in the collection include painting, sculpture, installation, video, and photography; yet the choice of works tries to go beyond the current contemporary art market frenzy. A fixation with emblematic Chinese artists who are at present the darlings of the market could easily distort the understanding of both, history and actual situation of the contemporary Chinese art scene.
Even though focusing on the contemporary production of a specific culture, the collection is nevertheless not guided by the search for otherness. It admits basic cultural similarities and dispositions, however, goes beyond a simplistic approach looking for typical cultural signs and symbols.
The collection is limited to a specific number of art works - about 120 pieces - that as an entity is open to constant redefinition itself. Openness, movement and communication are basic qualities we want to promote.
The DSL website is as attempt to create an open space for public actions, a journey for unknown encounters. As we witness an acceleration of exhibitions activities across the globe, the scale of a show is becoming less relevant than finding new ways to engage a new audience.
An encounter with the “dematerialized” can also bring about something tangible and relevant.
The first rooms of a virtual museum are already on line.
I would like to invite you to have a closer look at the collection website:

If you have found this website interesting we would be very grateful if you recommend it.
With best regards,
Sylvain Levy
