Dazed & Confused and Tiger Beer over the last few weeks got together to welcome
the year of the Tiger and celebrate Chinese New Year 2010 in style. Giving away 600 wristbands for public access to attend the night's parties, we organised four arts and cultural events last Thursday February 11th, where we took over some of London Chinatown's best-known restaurants
to showcase a new wave of exciting Chinese creative talent.
Whilst exhibiting a mix of post-apocalytic visions, melting landscapes
and video installations by artists Gordon Cheung, Gayle Chong Kwan and
Suki Chan at the New Loon Fung restaurant, Dazed also organised a set of stunning images from a trio of Chinese photographers: Kai Z Feng, Madi
Ju and Li Wei which adorned the legendary Chuen Cheung
Ku. At the Prince Charles Cinema, we screened the
award-winning feature debut She, A Chinese by director and novelist
Xiaolu Guo.
Super producer Howie B DJed at our New World party along with a live
performance from electronic duo White from Beijing before the Prince Charles cinema showed a midnight screening of the classic A
Chinese Ghost Story starring Leslie Cheung.
Check last month's Dazed February
issue for the supplement with profiles of
all participating artists as well as a mini-guide to the different
Chinatowns in the UK.
As part of the wider campaign, Tiger Beer have also launched an iPhone application which incorporates an Augmented Reality tool to point you to the best restaurants and bars to celebrate Chinese New Year in the main UK Chinatowns, plus a free themed game that will have you addicted from the start...

photography events co-curated by Freire Barnes.
