cao chang di--beiing

.

another great gallery in cao chang di was pekin fine arts.  they had several large halls dedicated to large scale video projections and installations.  while 798 had the soul of the old front and present, cao chang di had more of a slicked out chelsea vibe.  impressive spaces not trying to hide their white box aspirations.  this video installation was interesting.  the calm music juxtaposed with the classroom propaganda atmosphere.  i don't know what the text said, but the irony still registered
