  • The Rhetoric and Reality of Culture-Led Urban Regeneration
    The 4 th International Conference of the International Forum on Urbanism (IFoU) 2009 Amsterdam/Delft The New Urban Question – Urbanism beyond Neo-Liberalism THE RHETORIC AND REALITY OF CULTURE-LED URBAN REGNERATION – A COMPARISON OF BEIJING AND SHANGHAI, CHINA J. Wang* & S. Li** *Center for Sustainable Asian Cities, School of Design and Environment, National University of Singapore, Singapore, Email: [email protected] **Dept of Architecture, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China, Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: It did not take long for Chinese cities to embrace the fashion of culture-led urban regeneration. Forerunner is Beijing 798, wherein a semi-abandoned factory was gradually turns to an artistic production base by spontaneous agglomeration of artists. The Shanghai municipal government showed a more entrepreneurial mind by announcing the Cultural Rehabilitation of Industrial Buildings plan in 2004. The first project initiated by the government is Shanghai Sculpture Space, which is envisaged as a role model for heritage rehabilitation and an incubator of creative industry. Driven by global city making, both two cities see culture as a key to bolster a new economy and to deal with decayed urban sites. Meanwhile, differences are detectable due to the various roles assigned to culture by the two cities respectively. When Beijing has long claimed its orthodoxy of Chinese culture, taking art production as one pillar industry; Shanghai hardly hides its absorptive and sometimes eclectic nature, caring more on global standard of art consumption. This paper attempts to analyze the differences of the two culture-led regeneration projects, the spatial outputs of which stem from different cultural circumstances and, respond to power relationships of a variety of actors in the urban regimes.

  • Beijing Is the Modern Capital City of the People’S Republic of China As Well As a Well Known City in the Ancient World

It has over 3000 years of history and has been the capital city of five dynasties. This has made Beijing famous for the depth in culture and richness in tourist resources. No visitor to China today wants to miss visiting the Forbidden City, the largest royal palace in the world, the Summer Palace, where the imperial family escaped the summer heat, the Temple of Heaven, or the Great Wall. There are more than 200 major sightseeing spots open to tourists and over 7300 cultural and historical scenes. Tiananmen Square Tiananmen Square, the largest city square in the world with 44 hectares in size, is the central focus of Beijing. To its west stands the Great Hall of People while the National Museum is located in the east. The Monument to the People’s Hero stands high in the middle of the square and the memorial hall of Chairman Mao is located on the south.

  • Liebian/Fissure: the Art of Qiu Deshu 裂變:仇德樹的藝術 Contents
    Liebian/Fissure: The Art of Qiu Deshu 裂變:仇德樹的藝術 Contents Director’s Preface 5 Liebian/Fissure: The Art of Qiu Deshu 7 Kuiyi Shen Statement 13 Qiu Deshu Plates 15 Biography 40 3 Director’s Preface Viewing Qiu Deshu’s work is a visual pleasure. In those seemly quiet images, there is stunning power, like the lightning ripping through the sky. Or vice- versa, beneath the vibrant colors, lies the heavenly serenity. Qiu is greatly influenced by Buddhism – he signs his work elegantly with his Dharma name Yun Yi (cloud, unity). It may first surprise us that Qiu regarded the heroic spirit of the gladiator Spartacus as the other spiritual influence, but this helps to explain the beautiful co-existence of the quite strength in his work. But it doesn’t just stop there. One of the few Chinese artists that were introduced to the West in the early 1980s and since then remains influential, Qiu Deshu, over the years, has been steadfastly pursuing his own ideal and freedom, keeping himself independent of the Chinese art world, whether mainstream or avant-garde. He has explored and developed a convincing system of philosophical thinking and a new art language, uniquely to his own. Therefore it is with great pleasure that we present a solo show of Qiu Deshu and celebrate his art on the occasion of the inaugural Asia Week San Francisco Bay Area. I am most grateful to Prof. Kuiyi Shen for his comprehensive and thoughtful introduction of the evolution of Qiu Deshu’s art. His expertise and support has been invaluable to us.
