		Art dealers, architects and designers who helped create the freewheeling Dashanzi Art District, where artists can meet the masses, are planning to stage a festival to celebrate Beijing's emergence as a global cultural centre.
		Dashanzi's celebration of contrasting cultures and living concepts "is the first independent arts festival ever to be held in Beijing," said Els Silvrants, a Dutch impresario who is helping put the show together.
		Dashanzi was originally set up as a vast, centrally planned factory complex by Chinese and East German defence technicians in the 1950s.

	The Cultural Heritage of China :: The Arts :: Museums and Galleries :: Dashanzi Art District
		"Dashanzi Art District" (Chinese: 大山子艺术区; Pinyin: Dàshānzi Yìshùqū) is the informal name of a part of Dashanzi in the Chaoyang District of Beijing that houses a thriving artist community, among 50-year old decommissioned military factory buildings of unique architectural style.
		The area is often called the 798 Art District or Factory 798 although technically, Factory #798 is only one of several structures within a complex formerly known as Joint Factory 718.
		The Dashanzi factory complex was vacated at around the time when most of Beijing's contemporary artist community was looking for a new home.

	supernaut ... i whore for art ... shanghai does contemporary art
		Contemporary art in China is really mostly a scene in Beijing around 798 Factory, despite other cities having something going on, but for some reason when people ask me about it, there's this pervasive meme that Shanghai has a scene that rocks out.
		Consider the Museum of Contemporary Art, or MOCA Shanghai, which opened in late September with way too many speeches, a retrospective of purposely kitschy portraits by the French duo Pierre et Gilles and a party that rocked well past midnight.
		There's less government control of the arts than in Beijing, she said, adding that even the government-sponsored Shanghai Biennale, an international contemporary art exhibition, is far more adventurous than its Beijing counterpart.

		The Dashanzi Art District -- known simply as "798" to aficionados and located in the northeastern part of the city -- is the best example to date of a site where foreign visitors can see for themselves the serious art scene that has developed in Beijing.
		However, since this building was where the development of Dashanzi into a center for contemporary Chinese art began, the number itself has become a symbol of the entire complex.
		This represents just a small sample of the younger art generation’s simultaneously ironic and humorous view of their country’s recent history and of the present’s cult of trash.

		Berne's Museum of Fine Arts had removed Xiao Yu's sculpture made with the head of a dead fetus attached to a seagull's body from a Chinese art exhibition last year after a complaint that it was disrespectful to the dead.
		At the time, ethics experts, artists and art lovers argued that keeping the work under wraps was an affront to freedom of expression.
		One of the pieces that had to be removed is a grey painting of the current leadership all in the same dark suits and ties with the same hairstyle.

		One of the most notable is the Dashanzi Art District, situated in the outer limits of the city, not far from the airport expressway.
		Such a perception is reinforced in terms of the economic geography of the area: real estate speculation and expensive apartment development have played a shaping force in the past few years, with artist's rents escalating and plans by government and the landowner Seven-Star Group to demolish the factory site and establish a high-tech development zone.
		It would seem to me, however, that the future of Dashanzi as an art district is gaining greater purchase on decision makers.

		Since the start of this month, police and propaganda officials have launched their biggest crackdown on Beijing’s counterculture hothouse -- Dashanzi art district -- where at least three galleries have been ordered to remove politically sensitive works.
		Galleries in Dashanzi openly display nudity and sexually explicit pictures, but even a flat image of political leaders seems to make the censors queasy.
		Brian Wallace, whose Red Gate Gallery was the first foreign-owned space for contemporary art in China, said: “Before Dashanzi, there were only three of us, so 99% of artists had no way to show their work to the public.” His business has been affected by the censors.
