Overview

798 ArtDist was originally an old factory built with the assistance of East Germany in 1950s. After the reform and opening up, with the change of policies, a large number of workers in this old factory were laid off and forced to stay idle. Just as China's modern art residence sprouted, 798 ArtDist came into being。Now it has been from a factory number to an art district, which displayed a process of conceptual transformation of the art industry. In the two mountains trapped by political constraint and commercial temptation, is contemporary art still pure? 798 ArtDist shows us the modern version of Along the River During the Qingming Festival.
