Caochangdi Art District - Caocahgndi Village -
Caochangdi Arts - Beijing's New Artistic Hotbed
北京草场地艺术区
Caochangdi (which means “grasslands”), an urban village and arts
community on the northeastern outskirts of Beijing, is emerging as one of
China’s artistic hotbeds.
Less then a decade ago, Caochangdi had virtually no arts presence but now
20 galleries from the USA, Japan, Germany, Korea, Holland, Beijing,
Shanghai, Switzerland and another 20 cultural enterprises, including arts
organizations, studios, museums and art schools, operate within or near the
village. And the galleries are top-notch.
“When a silkworm produces silk, it would never dream there is a Silk Road,”
artist and architect Ai Weiwei, co-designer of the Bird's Nest stadium, quoted
a verse written by his father, the poet Ai Qing. Ai Weiwei, the first prominent
artist to move to the village, was a catalyst in turning the area into an arts
haven,
Ai designed and built his studio and the groundbreaking China Art Archives &
Warehouse in the village - located near the Fifth Ring Road, 20km north of
the city center - in 1999, attracted by the space needed for contemporary art
and the relatively affordable rent in such an outlying area. Ai has since
designed or built many of other galleries and studios in the area.
Unlike the more self-contained, sanitized, and tourist-friendly 798 Art District,
located in a former factory site about 10 minutes away by car, Caochangdi is
still a loose sprawl of unnamed and sometimes unpaved roads, crisscrossed
by clotheslines and studded with mounds of gravel and dirt that accompany
the area’s many construction sites. Yet it is precisely this unique combination
of elements — a mix of residents that includes foreign and Chinese art
dealers, villagers, experimental artists, day laborers, and taxi drivers; coupled
with a location that offers some degree of peace and quiet, large, well-
designed spaces, and undeveloped land — that has fostered a sense of
community in Caochangdi. For lack of a better comparison, Cao Changdi is
akin to NY’s Chelsea with 798 Art Factory District more like NY’s SOHO.
The village was a grazing land centuries ago, then an imperial hunting ground
and later a royal graveyard complete with extensive, reputedly beautiful
gardens. In the 1960s the imperial gardens and the villagers who tended them
were converted into an agricultural commune during the "cultural revolution"
(1966-76). The southern part of the village became an office park in the early
years of China's reform and opening up. Many of the different industrial-style
buildings from those days are still occupied by foreign and domestic
companies. The unused ones provide the kind of space that attracts Ai and
other contemporary artists.
Indeed, as the 798 District, the epicenter of Beijing’s lively contemporary art
scene, becomes increasingly crowded with boutiques and tourists, some of
China’s leading gallery owners are bypassing the district altogether, and
heading directly to Caochangdi Village.
In the past several years, many of the city’s most important art spaces have
chosen to call Caochangdi home, making the village a mandatory destination
for arts professionals visiting the city and local collectors and enthusiasts.

北京草场地艺术区
“中国当代艺术的精神乐土”，很多人这样称呼草场地艺术区。继798艺术区之后，北京东郊的草场地成为中国当代艺术的又一
圣地。
“桃源”藏于市
沿街叫卖的小吃摊、挂满晾晒衣服的过道、灰尘弥漫的工地……这一切很难和一个当代艺术区联系起来。然而，草场地艺术区
的很大一部分都藏身于这种生活气息浓厚的市井中。
草场地艺术区的兴建稍晚于798艺术区，虽然离798很近，但是这里不像798艺术区已然成为一个旅游胜地。和喧闹的798比起
来，草场地清静了许多. 这里主要面向专业性人群, 汇聚了大量艺术家的工作室。自然，这里的游客远不及798。对于大众来说
最有名的就是那个大胡子艾未未了，著名诗人艾青之子，没有所谓的派，简单得不能再简单的工作室，就为做一点实事。草场
地的观点很明确，艺术家要想生存不能少了商人的帮助，可商人绝不能逾越到艺术家之前，为了商业而创作是不可取的，商人
只能站在艺术家的背后。到了草场地，内行可以看看门道，外行的话，可就没有想象中的热闹了。
草场地，这个距798最近的艺术分支，以其优越的区位优势与相对低廉的租金定位吸引了相当数量的知名画廊与艺术家介入。
穿插于民舍之间的三尚、站台中国、三影堂、U空间、“酒香不怕巷子深”的艾未未艺术工作室，新搬来的前波画廊、香格纳画
廊、现在画廊，各有品位，吴文光别具特色的草场地工作站更是为地下纪录片工作者甚至农民提供了施展艺术才华的领地。这
里艺术类建筑多为后期依势自行设计建造，风格品位独特，艺术家工作室、艺术空间、画廊与百姓生活混居的地段，有其独特
的叙事结构，众多艺术爱好者不辞劳顿、慕名而来，更彰显出这块热地的魅力。相对于798的繁荣，草场地及其周边更富有浓
郁的生活气息。并非刻意地陈述着当下的艺术现状。当然，在这个虚实相生的多元化艺术阵地，百姓也因艺术而快乐并小康地
纪录着、生活着。
“丹心”推新人
“艺术的价值一定要建立在学术价值之上，没有学术价值，却先出现市场价值，这就是倒挂。”策展人顾振清表示。作为荔空间
的投资人，顾振清在长达20多年的策展生涯中一直坚守着学术的定位。
由于较少考虑商业因素，作为艺术平台的草场地很重视对年轻艺术家的扶持。其中“零资本”进入政策，使大批优秀青年艺术家
走进人们视野。“如果他有挖掘潜质，在他没有钱的时候，我们可以去资助他，和他签约，给他提供工作室。”草场地艺术区创
立人孙连刚表示：“一个艺术家创作作品的时候不能去考虑市场，如果艺术家一边创作一边考虑怎么卖，他的作品我都不要。”
草场地经常举办一些推介新人的活动。第二届前提行为艺术节将于5月1日至3日在草场地举行，主题定为“青年的可能性”。主
办方将采用展示资料、影像装置和现场创作等形式打造一个年轻的艺术活动。参展艺术家大都非常年轻，其中有刚离开学校不
久的艺术院校毕业生，也有已经参加过多次艺术展览的80后，而国际化的视野和策划，使本次艺术节更让人期待。
“寒冬”中反思
2003年,中国当代艺术市场开始红火起来；2005年的春季，中国艺术品市场更是出现了量价齐升、一路高歌猛进的前所未有的
“狂热”状态；2007年中国在世界艺术品拍卖市场所占的份额已经超过法国，位列世界第三。但是，当前的金融危机已经波及到
中国当代艺术产业。“现在就是要进一步加强学术价值呈现，学术价值本身就不强的艺术家被市场淘汰也属正常。”顾振清强
调。
“我们希望能有美术馆的环境，安静下来面对艺术品的推广与展示。”北京画廊负责人李苏桥说，“2009年，我们的工作量大约
是10个海外展览、6个国内展览，这是我们对推动真正的纯艺术的态度。”

Location Map of Caochangdi Art District , Beijing, China
Galleries and Studios in Caochangdi Village - Beijing
Opened late 2007, Three Shadows Photography Art Centre has quickly established itself as the premier venue for photography
in Beijing. This gallery is probably the best point of entry for the Caochangdi galleries, lying at the centre of the district. The
Center itself is an elegant complex including an open yard, an older, industrial, red brick building, and an elegant gray brick
gallery complex that unfolds around the yard, designed by Ai Weiwei. It was founded by photographer couple Rong Rong and
inri in 2007, in order to exhibit works by underrepresented and emerging photographers. In addition to the gallery space, the
center also houses a café, shop, and an impressive library of photography history, theory, and monographs.
One aspect of the center that is remarkable is its willingness to take risks through contests and group exhibitions – showing
some very surprising work as a result. At present there is an installation by artists Zhuang Hui and Dan’er, documenting and
interrogating the history of Yumen, the once oil-rich city in Gansu province. But showing conceptually-inclined work like this is
not an exceptional feature of the Center; the range of work exhibited will often allow room for the conceptual as well as the more
normative. And overall, this is the reason that the Three Shadows Photography Art Center is worth visiting. It has an outstanding
mission, and shows work that likely would otherwise be left unseen.

- Galerie Urs Meile 麦勒画廊
This Swiss gallery established its Beijing branch in 1996 and quickly became one of the most respected spaces in Beijing for
contemporary Chinese art. Galerie Urs Meile is situated in the actual village of Caochangdi Cun, easily recognized amidst the
run-down white-tile buildings that populate the area. The gallery complex is distinctive by virtue of its height, unusual design,
and also for its gray brickwork. Again, like Three Shadows, Galerie Urs Meile was designed by Ai Weiwei – whom it also
represents, along with other well-known experimental artists such as Tracy Snelling or, as with his current controversial (and
somewhat repulsive) exhibition called “The Wings of Live Art,” He Yunchang. Galerie Urs Meile, which has a sister gallery in
Lucerne, Switzerland, has become known for bold new works from established avant-garde artists in China and the West. In
addition to the gallery spaces at the Urs Meile complex, they also play host to an artist-in-residence program, allowing Western
artists the chance to come live and work in Beijing.
