Since 2008, Arrow Factory has operated as a modestly sized storefront art space located in the center of downtown Beijing. The publication 3 Years: Arrow Factory documents the wide range of site-oriented projects mounted by Chinese and international artists in our out-of-the-way location and asks artists and writers to reflect on new avenues for artistic production in China.
