| Popis: | 102 Capitalizing on cultural and creative resources to promote economic and urban development has increasingly become a major concern in cities in the world. As ever, Beijing has emerged/existed a variety of features and forms of cultural and creative space(i.e., artistic clusters), from formal cluster districts, with a state-sponsored effort that features the building of infrastructure and institutions in a catalytic development, to informal districts that recognize existing clusters of individual artists and art studios. Some artistic clusters utilized by the municipal government’s effort to promote Beijing as the creative world cities, yet unfortunately another have faced the crisis of demolishment or demolished by the State. Analyze the meaning of significant transformation process of artistic clusters on research, the article hence situates the construction of cultural and creative space in Beijing’s urban change context, examining the emergence and functioning of a unique contemporary art cluster, of which nature are in particular formal and informal features as well as locate in the rapidly urbanizing area now that is recognized less, an example of Caochangdi international art village with rich fine art quality. Far from spatial crises, some evidences thus emphasize the official contact from the government. As of the case study, we use in-depth interviews and archival research to demonstrate the purpose on the state spatial strategies of the construction of cultural and creative space over space production by turning the formerly organic artist villages into official art districts gradually, and try to understand what challenges are to maintain sustainable artistic clusters in that context. The findings of this case study conclude on the major factor that the State power on planning and implementation still plays a vital role in a balance between cultural, social and economic sustainability of Caochangdi art cluster, especially the participation of local state intervention. However, the state strategic purpose and planning need to embody inclusiveness of the State where a variety of stakeholders can hold their own visions, and truly avoid regarding art as development and redevelopment tool utilized by the model of symbolic economy and political entities. |
