顺义 is the new hot place for galleries these days in Beijing but the crazy 清零政策 is still causing a lot of hassle for galleries with delays and diminished footfall.

Thank you for the elaborate analysis! I wonder if you have observed anything interesting on the Galway art scene. Does it exist? :)

Yes! Galway is a quiet beachfront town. There is a weekend market with artists but probably that’s all there is lol.

Sadly, the common theme of precariousness seems to be associated with the visual arts almost everywhere. At the same time, as in this video, it just shows how artists have been forced to turn their back on the traditional art institutions, which utterly fail to reflect their needs, despite their attempts via 'new institutionalism'. Just look at that council centre, as you said it is not specifically for the arts but a hotch-potch of functions like children's drama workshops or music. Madrid is little better. Those of us who have spent decades trying to create here have found that institutions view us as a nuisance at best.If there's any future I believe it's in artist-run spaces.

I like the expression hotch-potch! I didn’t know this saying before. It reminds me of a social experiment I always did with my friends: if you were to decide the fate of a donation to a primary school girl in rural China, would you: A, give it to a girl who needs it the most by family financial situation; B, give it to a girl who deserves it the most by academic merits. The final discussion has always been: why not dividing the donation so each girl could get half? It reflects different values. The policymakers are trying to balance their funds by dividing it into different segments. Some theater, some music, a film studio and an exhibition space. It’s moderate mediocre way of supporting the art world.

@@VeryPrivateGallery True, but let's look at the figures. An important factor is that in sectors like performing arts /cinema/dance/theatre there are more powerful organizations to defend their interests. That is reflected in the greater slice of the funding pie that usually goes to them (over 6 million€ versus 100,000€ in Madrid, 2020).Visual artists have a lot to learn from them in terms of collective action.

@@EclectikTronik Very interesting figure! Besides the collectives/associations/gilds, do you think taxes play a role in this? We might be able to compare it to, let’s say literature (publishing) who pay less taxes (for example, 4% VAT vs 21% for entertainment). Could they justify by saying, more money comes with more responsibilities?

@@VeryPrivateGallery That's possible. the leisure industry has always been seen as a cash cow by the authorities so they're keen to milk it. We have seen how that's spilled over into the visual arts - the promotion of a kind of uncritical, 'hip cultural tourism' , the Guggenheim effect. That would be okay if it weren't for the fact that resources that should be directed at grass-roots contemporary creation end up there.

@@VeryPrivateGallery I am an engineer. The pay is better and allowed me to buy a house in the country by a lovely river. I was also able to afford a wife and kids. I sometimes still go to the city when I land a consulting gig for a factory automation or so.... Don't get me wrong, I still do my art part time, but it's mostly for me and my wife. Once in a while I get a commission or two from my community. Need to work on my fundamentals a bit more often, but I am happy.

@@VeryPrivateGallery I really do like new media art, I love kinetic sculptures and crazy things you can assemble from 3D printing. Sometimes you can really get something amazing with this media, other times it looks like a disaster science project... The art that sells well ALL the time is ... Inlaid wood and brass designs affixed to jewelery boxes lids. Those sell like hotcakes and they aren't too hard to make. Just making things is lots of fun.
