Xi'An Contemporary Art Hall &Nbsp; Textile City Art District In A Low-Key Gorgeous Turn.

In the 60s and 70s of last century, Xi'an City East

However, the sunlight pouring down in the large skylight of the old factory is the best daylight for artists to paint.

Since 2007, a group of young contemporary artists spontaneously gathered here, and all kinds of avant-garde, fashion, pluralistic and inclusive thoughts collide here.

The abandoned old factory turned into an art in a low-key way.

"Everything here has no sense of constraint, and other special feelings are especially casual, relaxed, comfortable and leisurely.

There is a detached temperament and an atmosphere beyond normal life. "

880 Wang Wensheng, the owner of the art warehouse, regrets that his "Art Warehouse" is named as the 880 art warehouse because it is exactly 880 square meters.

Of course, many institutions and studios in the art district have similar names with a few industrial age scent.

In June 2007, the Textile City Art District was officially opened to the outside world, including the Art Center, Changan burning ceramics art, Mo Lang's photographic art workshop, rope space, creation workshop, 880 Art Warehouse and other art institutions. More than 50 contemporary artists and young and cutting-edge artists such as Jiao ye, Bai ye, Dai Haiyan, Zhong Guochang, He Jun, Wu Xiaochuan, Ma AI Zhou and so on have also entered here.

In the eyes of outsiders, the artistic atmosphere of a factory that has been processed by art can not help but make people cry. The old factory building has become the largest collection of contemporary art in Xi'an, or even the reception hall of contemporary art in Xi'an.

The artistic atmosphere is gradually becoming active.

Strong artistic atmosphere and exhibitions, forums, concerts and other artistic activities have gradually condensed the popularity and the attention of domestic art circles.

The great changes in the Textile City Art Zone have injected new energy into the old industrial areas.

In October 2009, "China Xi'an Textile City Art Festival" was successfully held in the textile city cultural and creative District, attracting more than 100 thousand spectators. This is unprecedented in Xi'an and greatly enhanced the popularity of the Textile City Art District.

"The Textile City Art District is entirely self organized," said pea, the owner of the art studio. "Every studio here is built by artists along with workers. We have a very deep feeling here."

Artists are here to pform their old buildings, old machines, and the ragged eyes of the outsiders. After everyone's hands and creativity, they may become a design artifact.

In addition to all kinds of contemporary art exhibitions, many of the most fashionable enterprises in today's fashion also take a fancy to the unique atmosphere of the art district.

Fame and value are becoming more and more important.

Although there are no 798 or Mogan Mountain's fame and prestige, critics like Li Xianting, Gu Zhenqing and many of the leading artists of contemporary art have witnessed different styles here. Many friends from Xi'an's international art circles will also choose to go to the textile city.

The special cultural card of the Textile City Art Zone promotes Xi'an's international influence from another angle.

Matt Franks, a famous British artist, had heard of the famous art district of textile city early.

When he came to visit Xi'an, he threw a look of envy at the studio with such a huge space. He told reporters: "there are similar art communities in the UK, but there is far from being so spacious here. Moreover, Xi'an artists can live and create here at the same time, which can hardly be imagined in Britain."

I visited an artist studio and stopped to take pictures in front of the abandoned train tracks.

Fang Lijun, a famous contemporary artist, sighed, "the houses here are very beautiful. The artists here are also very diligent and outstanding. I am optimistic about the future of Xi'an's contemporary art."

Professor Tong Yujie, a professor and commentator of Xi'an Academy of fine arts, said: "art has brought cultural imagination to the creative industries of the city. The Textile City Art Zone is experiencing pformation from" made in China "to" created in China ".

If "made in China" has a kind of historical trace of industrial imagination, then "Chinese creation" has more vitality of contemporary art life.
