Bus Ride into Chengdu from Chengdu MoCA

Chengdu has a number of new private museums, mostly in the outer suburbs, many of them associated with real estate developments. One of these is Chengdu MoCA in the city’s southern suburbs. When I visited a year ago there were a couple of nice exhibitions of sculpture and video art. You can take the subway, but I took the bus—you can see more. In particular, you go past Chengdu’s New Century Global Center (新世纪环球中心), the world’s largest building in floor space (18,000,000 square feet). When I went to editing the video it got a little pixelly and squirrelly, but it matched my memory of the trip pretty well—its got a surreal quality.
