BEIJING 798: Reflections on Art, Architecture and Society in China

This book BEIJING 798 is a study in contrasts: one location, two eras, fifty years apart. With colour and black and white images of past and present events and accompanied by Chinese and English text, this book gives an account on how a military factory was transformed into a contemporary art and culture community, Factory 798. Reflecting on art, architecture and society, the images and articles collected in this book offer a microcosm of the radical social and cultural changes that have swept through Beijing over the last half century.
