Zhengzhou “Two Sands” Art District Enters the Countdown of Relocation

The “Two Sands” art district, which once carried the important cultural and creative industries of Zhengzhou and the development of modern art, will be relocated and upgraded. Before that, it developed from a dilapidated factory site into a well-known art district in Zhengzhou, which took less than two years.
According to the agreement between Baige Group and developer Henan Guochuang Culture Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Guochuang Company), before the end of 2015, the merchants in the “二沙” art district will be relocated. However, after the upgrade and transformation of the "Two Sands" art district, what will it look like, will it still retain the original atmosphere, or an unknown number...

[Notice] "Two Sands" Art District moved before the end of the year
For those who don't know the past, present and future of "Two Sands", their life is no different from usual. But for those who are keen on modern art such as sculpture, painting, photography, and the art practitioners who settled in the “Er Sha” art district, these days are the most torturous and painful.
Because, according to the notice issued by the Baige Group, the holder of the “Seshan” industrial site, all the “merchants” who rented the “Er Sha” art district factory will be relocated before the end of 2015. Starting from January 1, 2016, there will be water and electricity blackouts here.
The name "Two Sands" is the second China Grinding Wheel Factory. Founded in 1953 by Germany, it is the largest grinding wheel factory in Asia and the second largest grinding wheel factory in the world. In December 1993, China No. 2 Grinding Wheel Factory became the first listed company in Henan Province and changed its name to Baige (Group) Co., Ltd.
Since the beginning of the new century, the development of “Two Sands” has entered a trough, and the Baige Group has vacated a part of the production workshops and warehouses for leasing to other companies and art institutions.
On December 5th, an art institution sent an article on “We are leaving for a better start” through WeChat. The article said: “The second sand” will be ushered in a new upgrade and upgrade, and the demolition is inevitable. We will stop business today and prepare to move. It is understood that the institution witnessed the development of the “Er Sha” industrial site into an art district.
Another art institution provided a notice of relocation to Henan Business Daily reporters, which was announced by Baige Group on November 24: each leased merchant, according to the planning and deployment of the Zhengzhou Municipal Government, No. 78, Huashan Road, Zhongyuan District The unified planning and overall relocation will be carried out, and the merchant lease contract will expire. In view of the above, our company will take back the leased land and houses on January 1, 2016, and stop water and power outages in the region.
In this regard, the relevant person in charge of Guochuang Company told the reporter that the relocation of the entire site of Ersha was divided into four batches of abcd, and the relocation was the d area (also known as the “Sediment” art area). According to the plan, at the end of 2016, all other companies, including the entire Baige Group, will be relocated.

[Say] This is a spontaneous phenomenon of cultural art
How did “Two Sands” evolve from a dilapidated factory to an art district?
The first batch of companies that moved in, the co-founder Wu of the coffee shop, still remembers the scene of the year. “Two years ago, I heard that the factory was rented out, and because it was a waste industrial factory, it was very similar to the background of the Beijing 798 Art District. We moved in.”
Yang Lan, the artistic director of the wood and stone sculpture company in the "Er Sha" art district, told the reporter that this is a spontaneous cultural phenomenon and there is no organizer.
It is reported that the "two sand" factory buildings, warehouses and other rich industrial buildings, water towers, boilers, belt corridors and other unique industrial buildings, with unique conditions, easy to transform design and reuse, is indispensable for the cultural and creative industries. Excellent resources.
Yang Fei, an ice space art agency designer, told reporters that the basic conditions of “Two Sands” are better than the Beijing 798 Art District, but there are still many places in the atmosphere that need to learn from the 798 Art District.
Su Xiaolong, the founder of Xiaolong Original Art Center, said that when he moved here, in addition to the low rent, he also took a look at the atmosphere. Now, every day, visitors come to his studio, either to buy his work, or to sit down and talk to him, where he gets a sense of satisfaction that an art practitioner is respected.
In addition to the art-related industries, the Henan Business Daily reporter also found that there are auto repair shops, waste collection stations, and some companies' warehouses.

[Developer response] The specific planning details have not yet been released.
Then, what is the use of the Ersha Art Center after the relocation?
A woman from the Planning Resources Division of the Pigeon Group said that they were only responsible for recovering the land and houses. How to plan specifically, handed over to Zhengzhou State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.
According to the public information, the main project of Guochuang Company is the old factory of China No.2 Grinding Wheel Factory. It is planned to carry out the project development of commercial real estate with cultural and creative industries as the main purpose of industrial plant protection.
"Incorporating the modern and modern architecture in the old industrial area into the cultural and creative elements of art, fashion, life, memory, etc., the old industrial factory area full of memories of the era will be built into a cultural and creative industry integrating art, culture, leisure and entertainment. center."
According to the data, the project of “Two Sands” in the old factory area is tentatively designated as “Large House 1953” Cultural and Creative Industry Park. Guochuang will combine the revitalization of Zhengzhou urban old industrial zone, the protection of industrial heritage and the development of cultural and creative industries, and build it into a contemporary Chinese complex cultural and creative industry cluster, a contemporary cultural and art exhibition and dissemination center, and the largest in the Central Plains. The Contemporary Art Park and Zhengzhou Modern Industrial History Museum have become the new highlights of Zhengzhou's industrial transformation and urban image.
In this regard, the relevant person in charge of Guochuang Company stated that the reconstruction work of “二沙” is of great responsibility, including not only the overall relocation of the Baige factory area, but also the upgrading and transformation of the cultural creativity of the old factory area. After several revisions to the planning plan, the details are still unclear.
However, the person in charge said that the purpose of the upgrade is not to destroy the old factory, but to protect, and the company will re-plan the 800 acres. But the details have not yet been fixed.

Heart art can't stand toss
Despite an upgrade, the fact that merchants are moving away is a matter of fact.
During the visit, the reporter saw that some studios and studios had stopped operating and were looking for new markets. For the upgrade, the merchants are also reacting differently, some optimistic, and some pessimistic. Yang Shu, the artistic director of wood stone sculpture, told reporters that he would temporarily move out for a while, and then move in after the renovation.
“After living standards have reached a certain level, people have begun to pursue spiritual needs. This place in Zhengzhou needs too much spiritual food.” Yang Lan said.
In the interview, the heads of several art institutions said that the art sprouts here have just begun and cannot withstand the toss. The person in charge of an art center admitted that there is a certain regularity in the emergence and extinction of a cultural phenomenon. Man-made planning can't control the trajectory and direction of art development.
Jiangshan has been engaged in art work for more than ten years. For this relocation, Jiang Shan said such a passage on his WeChat public platform. Perhaps it is his inner feelings: the current Henan art circle is developing, and there must always be people in culture and art development. Sacrificing someone to pay, its development is a layer of cannon ash piled up, and if so, let me do this first layer of cannon fodder.
It is understood that Jiangshan's art space is about to relocate to the Rainbow Box Art Park, and he hopes that his artistic dreams will take root there.
