Beijing East Village
The Beijing East Village () was an avant-garde artistic community of the early 1990s located in the eastern part of Beijing,〔Kong Bu. "Zhang Huan in Beijing." Zhang Huan: Altered States. New York: Charta and Asia Society, 2007. Accessed at (http://www.zhanghuan.com/ShowText.asp?id=29&sClassID=1 ).〕 just past the Third Ring Road on what was then the city's margins.〔Freudenberger, Neil. "(The Beijing Art Scene )." ''Travel and Leisure'' (April 2006).〕 It was formed in 1993 when a group of like-minded artists took up residence together in a "village" of low-quality migrant worker housing,〔Wood, Gaby. "(Snap Dragons )." ''The Observer'' September 4, 2005.〕 fixing at the entrance a handwritten sign.〔A picture of the sign is visible (here ).〕 Their community's name was inspired by the East Village of Manhattan, with which they felt an affinity in their experimental aesthetics. Only the year after its founding, following the arrest of Ma Liuming for cooking naked in a courtyard, the community was closed by the police,〔 though former residents continued to collaborate.

The residents of the Beijing East Village comprised, most significantly, the first generation of Chinese performance artists, as well as the photographers who would document their works.〔Lietti, Manuela. "(Beijing’s Art Districts: From Creative Hubs to Entertainment Centres )." ''Urban China'' (33 ) (November 2008).〕 They had come to Beijing from different provinces:〔 Ma Liuming, for example, was from Huangshi (Hubei), Zhang Huan from Anyang (Henan), Cang Xin from Baotou (Inner Mongolia). Their aesthetic was decidedly avant-garde; they ignored the goings-on in the then-influential Yuanmingyuan artistic community across the city, rather choosing to cultivate a distance from their peers.〔 They frequently collaborated on performances, which the photographers among them documented. Manuela Lietti points out that this sort of community collaboration, though less frequent in the West, has not been uncommon in China:
In many places in the world, particularly the 'West', artistic practice has frequently been carried out on an individual basis. In China, however, artistic practice has often been undertaken within the realm of a community of individuals bound by a precise common trait, be it of a political, social or creative nature. In a country whose history and cultural agenda have often been characterized by collective movements, the bond between individual expression and communal practice has always been tight and at certain moments even obliterated the individual's voice.〔
