Dear John,

You might find it interesting to know that the K11-Art Mall - as a business, as a concept and a physical space - originated in the city of Hong Kong. 

You are free though to discuss is HongKong is part of China or not.

You might want to check sources and find out that "K11 is a shopping mall in Hong Kong located in The Masterpiece, developed by New World Development and completed in December 2009. The building features a 340,000-square-foot, 6-storey shopping centre beneath the Hyatt Regency Hong Kong, Tsim Sha Tsui. New World Development claims that it is "The World's First Art Mall"."

In Shanghai K11 officially reopened on May 28, 2013 , in a building that was formerly called the Hong Kong New World Tower.


You might need those brass balls indeed!

best, Bert

Interesting that any pretext of a complicated interface between art/commerce is 
completely dropped in China: ART MALL! lol! -- not even the Amurikans would have 
the brass balls to synthesize that one!

As for the Truth, Beauty, Freedom and Money part -- I see the seeds of serious 
discontent being sewn into the pants of the rising dragon -- when it finds out 
the joke, there will be hell to pay...

John
