Long March - A Walking Visually Display
(site 1 - 12)
This project is organized
by the Long March Foundation, New York,and The 25000 Cultural
Transmission Center, Beijing with the cooperation of local cultural
institutions along the route of China's historical Long March.
Its aim is to take both contemporary Chinese and international
art to a sector of the Chinese public that is rarely, perhaps
never, exposed to such work. In this respect, this is the first
such project in China's history. Specifically, we will bring art
to those people who live in communities along the route of Mao
Zedong's historic Long March. Mao's 'March' symbolized the deliverance
of the Communist ideal to the Chinese proletariat. It is with
this symbolism in mind that we now choose to march contemporary
art out to China's peripheral population.

space is not so much a gallery as a center, a base, and
a work station that looks to connect the art world with Chinese
society, and to connect China with the world. The space functions
as a "curatorial laboratory" dedicated to the fundamental
questions of the relationship between curating, display and artistic
creation, between practice and discourse, between objects and
text, and between audience and artists.
The
Mapping of Yanchuan Paper-cuttings
This project is co - organized by the Long March and the
Yanchuan County government, and is a thorough survey of the county's
180,000 people that uses an understanding of the current situation
of the art form of paper-cuttings in the basic unit of today's
society to gain deeper insight into the relationship between contemporary
art and public space.
