Shanghai's Metro system is currently the largest in the world, with the subway lines covering over 500 km. 4 www.urban-family.com Shanghai Women Favor C-sections The Chinese government wants more women to undergo natural child- birth, but many mothers-to-be still prefer caesarean sections according to new figures. In 2013, 50.7 percent of pregnant women had c-sections according to Shanghai health officials. It's actually the lowest figure in the last decade but still remains higher than the 15 percent ratio recommended by the World Health Organization. A midwife who has been working for eight years at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University delivering babies without sur- gery said she understands the pain factor but she thinks women don’t always understand the risks of caesareans. Oh Baby! In May volunteers in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province underwent simulated labor contractions to experience the pain of childbirth. The men, including Iain Inglis, a foreign performer of propaganda songs who rose to fame after he took part in China's Red Song Competition in 2010, were strapped up to a machine and given simulated contractions as part of celebrations for International Mother's Day.

Been there, seen that. The new vegetable market-turned-art street to check out is Yongkang Lu By Hunter Braithwaite ??? Image not found or type unknown Alexis Kouzmine-Karavaïeff, ifa gallery director Yongkang Lu is a stronghold of old Shanghai, a grimy love letter to how things once were, replete with underwear dangling like prayer flags. It is also the home of several galleries recently opened by Zane Mellupe, a Latvian artist and curator. The Yongkang Lu art project strives for interaction between the arts community and the locals, and, unlike so many other creative initiatives in Shanghai, this one actually seems to be working. Zane Mellupe, ??? Image not found or type unknown Zane Mellupe, Latvian artist and curator “I wanted something new. Art is accessible to so few people [in Shanghai]. I thought about creating a residency space for foreign and upcoming Shanghai artists and to give a chance to the minorities,” says Mellupe, the former creative director of island6, of how her Yongkang Lu project began. So she began talking to developers on Yongkang Lu, a former vegetable market that was slated to become a fashion street. “Instead of one space I decided that I should get more. The developers trusted me. I just had No. 83 in the beginning though; the landlord said I could use it for one month. Now it’s a coffee shop.” As the galleries opened one after another, the neighborhood began to feel different.

Journal of Chinese Architecture and Urbanism, 3(1): 1025. http://dx.doi.org/10.36922/jcau.v3i1.1025 ABSTRACT During China’s speeding urbanization, creating a unique city image to achieve economic growth draws the attention of property developers, urban planners, and city administrations. Through activating urban spaces and creating dynamic urban culture, public art plays an effective role in leading modern urban creative capital investment into China’s urban development. In order to understand the implementation of public art in Beijing and Shanghai, this research aims to analyze the resonance between public art and urbanization in Chinese megacities through selected case studies. The study reveals public art guided by urbanization policy and strategy in metropolitan China, which further unfolds the discontinuous and fragmented relationship between public art, public sphere, and urbanization policies. Through discovering the imbalances between public art investment, implementation, and post- implementation management frameworks, the study provides several approaches to boost China’s urban development for achieving the resonance between public art and urbanization.

  • A Battle Between Moral Rights and Freedom of Expression: How Would Moral Rights Empower the "Charging Bull" Against the "Fearless Girl"?
    THE JOHN MARSHALL REVIEW OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW A BATTLE BETWEEN MORAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION: HOW WOULD MORAL RIGHTS EMPOWER THE "CHARGING BULL" AGAINST THE "FEARLESS GIRL"? TZU-I LEE ABSTRACT The Fearless Girl statue that stands in front of the iconic Charging Bull sculpture in Manhattan’s Financial District has drawn attention since an investment company first installed her for International Women’s Day in 2017. The Fearless Girl alters the context and meaning of the Charging Bull to a symbol of gender oppression in the workplace and provokes tensions between copyright and freedom of speech. The Fearless Girl also leads to a scene where a small girl funded by Wall Street is standing up a large bull created by an artist with his own money. This comment discusses how artists can rely on “moral rights” in preventing their works from intentional distortions like the Fearless Girl case under the Visual Artists Rights Act (VARA). With the reputational externalities and the freedom of expression theories, this comment proposes that VARA should extend to protect against objectionable contextual modification of a work of art. The clear global trend is towards greater recognition of artist’s moral rights for a broad range of protection. The protection against objectionable contextual modification also reveals unequal power relations and empowers artists in the complexities of cultural production and consumption under globalization. The contextual protection is valuable for the artist and the public interest.

The theme « animal » in the artistic disciplines testifies of the long relationship between human and animal. From the biblical symbolism of God and Evil in medieval era, animal representation quickly became a tool of society’s criticism, as it is in the painting « The Garden of Earthly Delights » where Jerome Bosch paints imaginary and hybrid creatures with irony to destabilise religious myths; or in George Orwell’s novel where the author makes an allegorical satire of the Soviet Union. For the occasion of the exhibition “Animal Farm”, ifa gallery has selected a series of works whose animal figure is present from artists represented by the gallery. Xu Zhe works with different mediums including sculpture, photography, video and installations. Strongly inspired by George Orwell’s Animal Farm, the artist depicts a reality that can be perceived as quite sinister and threatening and that suggests a violent society that has lost control. Zane Mellupe uses different types of mediums : from photography to drawing, from installation to video, from sculpture to performance.

The promenade is built above street level. There are a number of tall buildings near The Bund. This one is called Tomorrow Square, and is the 8th tallest building in Shanghai. Here is decorated with flowers. A group of uniformed men are also out walking. Some pictures along The Bund. Across the river is a series of tall buildings. This district is called Pudong, and is the city's financial center. This image of Pudong's probably taken one of those rare times that the air is clear.
