Sound appearance order: Lei Wanying, Jiao Zi, Xiao Hanqiu, Liu Ye
The apartment where Lei Wanying and Lin Han live is not far from the Ten Mile Avenue that runs east and west of Beijing. We were filming on a late autumn morning, but we had to create a Christmas-themed party with the couple and 3 friends, and when the tactful si tu vois ma mère prelude in "Midnight in Paris" sounded, the scene was like being turned on the time switch and mistakenly entering a Christmas midnight. Lei Wanying and her friends were also opened to the conversation box, recalling countless "self-hi" play and gatherings in the past. In the end, we decided to reorganize this lively dialogue into Lei Wanying's self-description. About friendship, love, art, 3 cats and a dog, paranoia about art, a penchant for stitching... Life has changed, people have not changed.

Dictation / Lei Wanfeng
I met Yangzi when I was 19 years old, at an exhibition at the C5 Art Center. You will find that some people and things have a fate, and the first time I saw her, I thought that she would be a particularly important person in her life. The name "Late Evening" was also named after me, because I was born in the evening, and my family named me "Firefly", taking the "firefly" of the firefly, and later the chiczi called me "Late Evening". She painted seventy or eighty paintings for me, and now they are all in the M Woods Museum.
Qiu Qiu (Xiao Hanqiu) is very much like Alice, Alice in Wonderland. When I first saw her, I thought she was like a doll. She had given me a lot of lipstick, and some little vests, and I remember she had painted a portrait of a brazing on one vest and gave it to me. Liu Gang is more like the person who will become the "protagonist" present, he brings everyone a lot of music, many times silent, but often can speak amazingly.
Lei Wanying (Late Evening): Founder/Curator of M Woods Mu Mu Art Museum
When we are together, there must be no lack of music, and The boy will buy a lot of flowers and take pictures for everyone. At that time (ten years ago), shooting on film, shooting with Kodak 135, 120 machines, when taking pictures, everyone would be required to look at the camera, and playing with mobile phones like this is absolutely not allowed. In fact, as long as everyone is together, it is a gift, and the gift does not just stay in a specific substance.
The living room TV cabinet in Lei Wanying and Lin Han's home can be called a core "exhibition wall" in the home, and the 19th-century French painter Jean-baptiste-camille corot's "Poplar Tree by the Water" (left), and the watercolor of Taiwanese artist Lin Shouyu (right) are mixed and intertwined with statues of various dynasties, which also states their attitude to art.
So you just asked me what I admire most about each other, which is not something that can be described in a particular word, it can be said to be more macroscopic, and their spiritual world is influencing me. I think the most obvious thing we have in common is that we live very egos and don't want to be anyone.
The home also houses works by artists from various countries such as John Currin and cristof yvore and from different dynasties.
m woods
We do the same thing when we do m woods, without looking for references, starting from scratch and doing what we want to do. The creation of Mumu has allowed me to finally realize many of the things I have envisioned in the past, to realize what I have learned, and of course, to bear more responsibility. Because it is for art, it is not to build a car behind closed doors, but to open the door to everyone and spread the good art in their eyes to more people. This requires rational thinking, but from the perspective of exhibition content and curation, I am less likely to consider the practical factors such as whether it is "selling" and "having a topic", and more about whether this is enough to become a good exhibition.
A lot of magazines and art albums are randomly stacked on the living room sofa, which is also a daily routine.
I, Lin Han, Michael (Huang Xunfu) how do you work on weekdays, I am more partial to the academic level of the exhibition, Lin Han will control the long-term vision, the direction of the art museum in 5 years, 10 years later, Michael is more responsible for international affairs. We do our part, keeping the heat and discussions in place to ensure that the overall direction is on the same line.
Lei Wanying and Lin Han, painted by the artist's friend, were given to the couple as a new wedding gift.
Favorite with unknown
The family cats reached a tacit understanding with us, in Lin Han's words, "If they touch these (art) things, he will cook them." Of course I won't agree, haha, it's just the feeling of being at peace with each other. We found many statues in Japan from the early Northern Wei and Northern Qi dynasties, many of which are "mutilated", only the hollow back screen part of the Buddha statue, and the base of the Buddha statue. But these "pieces" will keep you going back to many stories.
One of the hidden objects, the flying statue of the Northern Qi period.
There is a pedestal of a double-minded bodhisattva statue, and the main Buddha statue is gone, but when you look at its pedestal, it is like a comic strip that depicts various stories of The Lady Of the Maaya, the child under the tree, the path of enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, and so on. Its carving technique is innocent and simple, in today's words, quite "cute". You can feel that the people who made this statue at that time had a good heart.
The base of a double-minded bodhisattva statue in the collection. Lin Han will also make special display shelves for these collections, and there are many at home.
I love collecting because it will lead us to understand some unfamiliar fields. Chinese history, traditions, and religion may not have been concerned about us, but after starting to collect, discussing the stories behind these objects every day has become a very important part of our lives.
Decompression = Eat, Eat, Eat
The food made me relax the most. It doesn't matter the price, cheap or expensive, as long as it is delicious, it will always help me decompress. In the past, when we went to the party at the house of the chicko, she often made us food, and every trick was not repeated, pasta, curry rice, bring fish... Qiu Qiu will always go to the downstairs Jing Kelong to buy some cool skins, she calls the cool skin "cold skin"! In fact, I also love to eat every dish Lin Han makes, because the dishes he cooks are often improvised and always bring surprises.
Dior's signature cannage is not only a classic pattern on bags and clothing, but also shines in the cannage home collection. The cannage series of red and black crystal cups, cannage montaigne plates, cannage series goblets, salento series red and gold candles, Mediterranean fig atmosphere candles are all from Dior.
Candles are always the most apt for Christmas. Dior's Amber Night Scented Candle combines the wild and dark side of amber with the elegance of velvet and Turkish roses. It's a perfect blend of amber and night.
Dedicated
In fact, I am a very dedicated person, more "lecture" and "heavy feelings" for things and people, not thrifty and thrifty, but if I like one thing, this feeling will continue, and I will not replace it before encountering the next thing I like more. I have a makeup bag and a pair of old clogs that I haven't changed in more than a decade. This may also explain why the friendship with them has lasted so long, and there have been many new friends over the years, but among the best friends, these people are still indispensable here.
The family has 3 cats, Jiuye, Sansan, felix, and a dog named uni. The sofa was marked by the 4 "children" playing, and Lei Wanying would take some colored threads to make up for it.
Ashtray antiques and black panther toys by the sofa are also good companions for cats in the family.
Finally, behind-the-scenes footage is indispensable
The cover of this issue was filmed in the morning, the weather is a common haze in Beijing, and when shooting, everyone sometimes goes to the balcony of the apartment to change their air, where Lei Wanfeng and Lin Han raise a lot of green plants. The shooting is fast-paced and requires patience, but it leaves more happy moments.
"Protagonist" Jiuye: At the official end of the shooting, the cat "Jiuye" suddenly jumped onto the green chair, and the green reflection of the neon lights of the artist Kader attia's work appeared on the desktop, which was a mysterious and witty Christmas mood.
Meet as before: Although Lei Wanying and her friends Jiao Zi, Xiao Hanqiu, and Liu Ye have not seen each other for a while due to their busy work, they and their husband Lin Han also invited old friends to their homes with the cover story of this issue, but they are relaxed and tacit.

Special thanks to Coriandolo from Coriander for creating this set of intense, mysterious but also passionate floral solutions. Combining the temperament of the table and artwork, the floral design is brought with Polaris roses, needle pad flowers, scorpion tail bananas and red oak leaves. We also interviewed the founder Shu He's experience in choosing flowers and supporting your Christmas floral art.
q: Why did you choose these flowers?
Coriandolo: To highlight the word "wonderful", we chose the scorpion-tailed banana, which is not commonly used in table flowers, as the main flower. In addition to the use of dior like white roses, other flower materials are also to set off the red visual atmosphere of Christmas. The shape of the oak leaves is similar to that of the maple leaves, and they are also the companion leaves that can be close to the Christmas theme at present.

Q: If we also want these kinds of flowers to decorate the home, do you have any good suggestions or tips?
Coriandolo: Christmas is coming, decorate the home environment, I recommend trying to be as simple as possible, choose a medium-sized thin bottle with a few red pillows and a little flake leaf on the entrance or desk. If you don't think it's bright enough, buy a few red tulips and insert them into a tall wide-mouth bottle, and put a few white roses on the table or coffee table.
