“Warm Winter”—the Art Exchange Programme Touring in 20 Art Zones

Zhengyang Creative Art Zone Exhibition”

Press Release

“Warm Winter”—the art exchange programme touring in 20 art zones, is a series of art activities participated by the artists who live in different art zones in Beijing. It includes: art zone exchange exhibitions; live art and performances; seminar series mainly about “Artists Living Condition Dialogues ” and “The Future of Art Zones” ; extensional documentary exhibitions and so on.

Focuing on the removal difficulties of artists living in art zones of Chaoyang district, plenty of problems and clashes between artists and property developers (Zhengyang Creative Art Zone, 008 Art Zone and so on) and shortage of emotional and artistic communications, “Warm Winter” intends to promote exchanges and interactions of the artists through a series of art activities and share with each other for warmth to tide over the hard winter!

In these days, Zhengyang Creative Art Zone, the first step of “Warm Winter” programme, has been the media focus because of the tragic conditions caused by the forcible demolition of the artists’ houses. From 2007 till now, more or less 50 Chinese and foreign artists worked here with 5 years’ leasing contracts.

On November 26, 2009, the developer suddenly ordered all artists to “move out of the place” before December 4, 2009 without any corresponding compensation. On November 28, the demolition squad began to pull down houses by force; On December 4, the property personnels left the place and the developer took away 310,000 RMB pre-paid by artists; On the morning of December 5, the electricity and the healing was off at a temperature of -9 °C ; On December 13, the water supply had been completely suspended and on December 19, the generators just rented by artists had been took over by the person hired by the developer which was the rising tide of clashes between the two sides.……

Such violent conflicts last for more than one month and the homeless artists still stay in ruins. As we know, there are almost 42 families with 120 people including the olds over 60 and the childen under 2-3 years’ old, all shivered in Zhengyang Creative Art Zone.

We hope that the first exhibition of “Warm Winter” will be given more attentions on the difficult living conditions of artists from various circles of society. Relying on the government support and legal aid, we expect all the artists to share warm together and strengthen expressions and cooperations. We believe that after the “Warm Winter”, there will be spring!
