...Moganshan Road Shanghai's answer to Beijing's 798 is 50 Moganshan Road, or simply M50 - one of the main cooking pots of the city's art. This rabbit's warren of former factories and warehouses is situated on the banks of Suzhou Creek, and was first used as studio space in 2000. Now it's teeming with artists, curators, collectors and hip young students, as well as curious foreigners. It also houses the local branch of the Beijing Art Now Gallery, www.artnow.cn, which opened at the beginning of the year and like its parent is tasked with identifying...

...claim to be looking forward to Wednesday's distinctive format, in which about 40 video questions will be tossed their way, all pre-selected by CNN, which will air the forum from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET. Some of those who submitted questions will be sitting in the studio audience and will be allowed to ask follow up queries, adding a flesh-and-blood town-hall challenge to the candidates as well. When the Democrats participated in their YouTube session four months ago, it produced one of the most lively and illuminating debates...
