presented by the Arrow Factory, a new storefront space for art in in Beijing.

I've just set up a ping-pong table made of cardboard that levitates ping-pong balls! Wei has created a stunning mural on the back wall. Wah! If you happen to be anywhere near the Confucius Temple in Beijing, come on by. The works are on view almost any time of the day or night.

here are some photos:

On April 5 2008, The Contractors will open a platform for trade, promotion and business inside the Long March Space. This special occasion is the launching of Super Complex-City Phase I: Hands-Free Strategy for Creative Business Practicing, an irreverent take on the runaway capitalist economy within China.

Between 3-6pm the Long March Space will transform into a lively marketplace with vendors from all over the city gathering to peddle their wares amidst the artworks. Anyone with a business card or anything to sell is invited to participate, and those with nothing to sell are welcome to come browse and spend their money.

包工头乐队是一个多元素的项目组合。乐队的灵感来源于中国迅猛的城市化进程与建筑文化的当代传奇。包工头乐队的主要表演形式包括艺术活动的介入，新媒体计划和资讯的重新整合。 应长征空间的邀请，包工头乐队将在展厅里为观众搭建一个交易的平台， 并展示乐队最新开发的项目：超级城一期,创意产业的自动实践。演出现场在提供多种贸易，广告和洽谈机会的同时，也将积极反省中国资本经济中的倒卖行为。

2008年4月5号，下午3点−6点， 长征空间的展览空间将会成为一个开放的倒卖现场。

minutiae

finally updated my website with some (relatively) new work. finishing up a kupa design project. rented a storefront with some friends to turn into a small exhibition space. getting ready for the contractors extravaganza at the long march space on april 5. see post below.

too much information in too few lines. i know, and not even a photo to go with it. more later.

Contractors Super Complex-City Phase I

i know i used this photo before, but it's really appropriate this time.

for those of you in Beijing on April 5, 2008, COME ON DOWN!

The Contractors are seeking vendors, small businesses and anyone who wants to sell, promote or advertise their products/services to come to a Saturday market on the 5th of April 2008 from 3-6pm in the Dashanzi Art District of Beijing.

Space for vendors is free and all merchants keep 100% of their profit. All vendors are responsible for their own equipment. Vendors can set up tables, or just wander in the gallery space with their wares. The Contractors will only provide a site with an influx of domestic and international visitors. Vendors are asked to respect the space and the art, keep a safe distance away from the works and clean up after themselves at the end of the day. Space will be allotted on a first-come first-served basis.

Take buses 401，402，909，988，991，405，418 or 813 and get off at the Dashanzi (大山子) bus stop.

DATE: 5 April 2008
TIME: 15:00-18:00
