Beijing inside out : Caochangdi : recordings, 2008.

Caochangdi, one of more than 300 urban villages in the city of Beijing, tells a specific story about itself and its mostly illegal residents (including farmers, floaters, taxi drivers, and world-class artists). Embedded within it are both the problems and the possibilities of a new urban space that is redefining the city of Beijing. In their Nov. 13, 2008 James Stirling Lecture at the CCA, Robert Mangurian and Mary-Ann Ray dissect the multiple phenomena that form Coachangdi's dynamic urban condition, and open up an original discussion of issues of development in China in a way that is both historically informed and oriented to emerging social, political and cultural processes. Includes introductory remarks by Mirko Zardini.
