We are artists, curators, representatives, and friends of art institutions who support the Chinese art community and its vibrant environment. In conjunction with the Caochangdi PhotoSpring, we are launching an effort to collect 10,000 signatures from art supporters around the world. The goal of this effort is to protect and preserve the current state of the Caochangdi Art District. We want to launch negotiations to explore reasonable ways to resolve this issue. The effort to collect signatures for this petition begins today and ends on June 10, 2010. The signatures collected will make up a formal petition to be presented to the Beijing City Government. 

Effort Initiators:

Huang Rui, artist

Rong Rong & Inri, founders of the Three Shadows Photography Art Centre

Berenice Angremy, Director, Thinking Hands

Francois Hebel, Director, Les Rencontres d'Arles

Caochangdi Galleries, Art Institutions, and Artist’s Studios
