Writing exercise

Yesterday, I gave myself a one day holiday on the fly. It felt like the class skipping when we were a kid. Me and my friend went to the Rockbund Art Museum to see a contemporary art exhibition. Then, have a lunch in a Nepal Restroom, which called Nepali Kitchen. I can’t remember when was the last time I went to an art museum. Until I got home I couldn’t resist checking the booking history on App, which showed that I hadn’t been to any offline exhibitions for a whole year. The name of the exhibition is an Imperial message which is inspired by Kafka’s short fiction with the same name. The Artis named Adel Abdessemed, who was born in 1971 Constantine, Algeria and now is a French contemporary artist. This exhibition is one of the most sincere and completed exhibitions I have seen in Shanghai in recent years. All the story clues were broken up by the artist and then re-braided, and distributed in different art works into the 4-floods space.
