Late Shift: Yan Jun @ Foyer
|
|
The festival days end with a series of DJ sets in the Foyer of the Akademie on Hanseatenweg, marking the final hour before the building closes for the artists, visitors and personnel.
Yan Jun, born in 1973, lived in Lanzhou, where he studied Chinese at the Northwest Normal University and worked as an editor, until he moved to Beijing in 1999. He has since become a central figure in the underground [dixia] or unofficial [fei guanfang] music scene: as critic, publisher and artist. He has also made himself heard in poetry, as contributing editor of the unofficial journal Writing [Shu], with three issues since 2001, and as author of Infrasonic Sound [Cisheng bo], a selection of his poetry from 1991 to 2000.
