High Life

HIGH LIFE #12 Sep 2017 33 Feiyi Art Space is abundant with works, be they original paintings from Feiyi’s exclusively signed African artists like Evans Yegon, unique sculptures, masks or furniture designs. However, unlike traditional galleries where visitors wander through hallways, Feiyi offers a more relaxing vibe. Guests can sit down and enjoy a coffee made from African beans while listening to African music, head to the second floor to watch a documentary or even take a walk in the garden or rooftop balcony. Even if you leave empty handed, you’ll find that a piece of Africa has embedded itself into your psyche. 有别于传统艺廊只提供一白到地的四面墙，非艺营造了更为休 闲的氛围。到访者可以坐下来，边欣赏非洲风情的音乐边享用 一杯来自非洲的咖啡或葡萄酒，或者移步至二楼小放映室观看 一段与非洲相关的纪录片，抑或到顶楼天台充满非洲风情的花 园漫步。即使当下什么都没买，但或许一抹非洲情结已然根植 于心。 Sahr 说，“非洲有着伟大的文化、艺术以及其他令人惊 叹的资源。作为一个拥有两千多个部落和超过十二亿人口的大 陆，它其实还有很多东西值得开发引介。 “之前没有人做这件事是因为无钱可赚。我应该是第一个 真正做出了计划并正在执行的人。项目的意义大过于我自身， 所以我愿意全情投入，即便最终可能赚不到钱，我还是会坚持 下去。”
