SET UPUnpackingOn 23 Sep 2007, Daniel Sanderson - the Embassy Cultural Relations Officer picked Dean and me up from the hotel and took us to the gallery at Beijing University of Technology. We were setting up the show on that day. The embassy commissioned a local business to build new plinths for the show (according to the guidelines provided by the Jam Factory). I think the packing system for the show is a work of art by itself. Bravo to the Jam Factory furniture department who built the system. There were no broken pieces. |

 Unpack the crates in the truck as they are too heavy and too big to move into the gallery space. |
