Survivors' Hunting exhibition @ Magician Space
Chinese artist Guan Xiao's new exhibition, Survivors' Hunting, transforms the Magician Space in the 798 Art Zone into a hunting ground. Enter and be surrounded by camouflage-patterned obelisks that suggest you've interrupted a target-practice session. Now the question is, are you the hunter or the prey?
When: Until March 12
Where: 798 Art Zone, No. 2 Jiuxianqiao Lu
Admission: Free

When: 9 pm, Friday, Janaury 18
Where: No. 7 Dongmianhua Hutong, Jiaodaokou Nandajie, Dongcheng district
