Tianzifang

Located in lane 210, Taikang Road, Shanghai, China. Taikang Road is a small street in Dapuqiao area. Before 1998, it was still a road market. Since the implementation of Road market in September 1998, the district government has resurfaced the road surface of Taikang Road, making the road look brand new. Once crowded and ordinary, Tianzifang lane is painted with the color of SOHO. Just like the famous Rongle East Road in Shanghai, it has transformed into a gathering place of modern creativity, adding the flavor of Humanities and art.

The origin of the name

The name of "Tianzifang" is actually the nickname given to the old alley by painter Huang Yongyu a few years ago. According to historical records, "Tian Zifang" is an ancient Chinese painter, whose homophonic meaning is self-evident. The small factories in the streets, the abandoned warehouses in the alleys and the ordinary people in the Shikumen lane are painted with the color of "SOHO" and more artistic atmosphere.

Tianzifang is the flavor of Lilong folk houses. In addition to creative shops, galleries and photo exhibitions, there are many kinds of cafes. In the idle afternoon, with the cool breeze in the alley and the bright sunshine on the ground, the air is full of the smell of lazy coffee, which really has the artistic conception of "stealing half a day's leisure".

Tianzifang

The biggest feature is that it still has a lot of residents living here. Look, the green mailbox decorated with the logo of the 1980s is still used here. In this environment, there is an unexpected artistic beauty. The alley on the porch of youzhichengfang was built in 1933, with an ancient flavor.

The antique shop at Sinan intersection of Taikang Road has attracted countless antique collectors.

In the 210 lane of Taikang Road, there is more heat coming to you in the Lane called "Tianzifang". The workshop in the lane builds the essence tower of Taikang Road. At the same time, the studio transformed from the factory reflects different styles and atmosphere through artistic reproduction; Chen Yifei's studio reflects the simple and dignified architectural features. The fireplace in the rest room is not only a decoration, but also can really light a fire. In the middle of winter, you can have a cup of coffee or black tea around the fireplace and talk about the creation of art. Your inspiration will certainly have the best play. Er Dongqiang's studio reflects the traces left by the post industrial revolution. The two cranes are not only furnishings, but also can be started as usual. The imported transparent plate of the ceiling can better reflect the use of modern building materials, which is the result of the industrial revolution. The hand-made printmaking makes you run back and forth in the shuttle of time. Material can be processed and refined by people to produce another kind of material. The production of art fully melts people's yearning for a better life in reality and their thoughts into their works

. Mr. Chen Yifei's "Oriental Sculpture" was exhibited as an Asian Chinese at the world sculpture exhibition in Paris. This is a kind of creation, but also a kind of material production. In addition, the ceramic studio opened by Jamie, an American ceramic artist, attracted countless "foreigners" to learn ceramic technology here. Zheng Yi, a famous Hong Kong ceramister, also opened the "Lotte Ceramics Museum" on the second floor of lane 220, Taikang Road, which will carry out international ceramic exchanges.

Cultural start

On December 28, 1998, YILUFA cultural development company first entered Taikang Road, which opened the prelude of Shanghai Art Street on Taikang Road. Soon after, famous artists such as Chen Yifei, er Dongqiang, Wang Jieyin, Wang Jiajun, Li Shoubai and some handicraft shops successively entered Taikang Road, making the previously unknown Street gradually blow the wind of art. Er Dongqiang's monthly Opera Concert is full of friends. Located in lane 220, Taikang Road, Lotte ceramic social art exhibition attracts international ceramic artists to participate in and exchange with each other, and enjoys a high reputation in the world ceramic art circle. The Zoysia green bamboo carving of Shanghai Zizi arts and Crafts Co., Ltd. is unique in Shanghai bamboo carving and sells well in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

creative industry

Shanghai is further strengthening the planning and layout of creative industries, and the creative industries cluster area radiates from the park to the community and the urban area; strengthening the urban linkage, and has formed the cooperation and co construction projects of the creative industries cluster area and demonstration area of Changning, Jing'an, Luwan and Yangpu. Some time ago, Shanghai joined the "creative cities" network of the United Nations, ushering in a new opportunity for Shanghai's creative industries. Shanghai has initially formed five categories of creative industries, including R & D and design, architectural design, cultural media, consulting and planning, and fashion consumption. The cluster development pattern is increasingly apparent. By the end of 2009, there were 80 creative industry clusters in Shanghai, with 6110 enterprises settled in, an increase of 54% over the previous year.

In this context, Tianzifang on Taikang Road is known as "Suhe of Shanghai" and "Silicon Valley" of visual industry in Shanghai

Outstanding art

In the early stage of Tianzifang art street, the government has done a lot of work in overall planning, functional positioning, format adjustment, environmental improvement and construction, and invested a certain amount of money. The "art gate" cross street sculpture designed by Mr. Chen Yifei has stood at the east end of Taikang Road. It is the landmark of Shanghai Taikang Road Art Street. The ribbon above the sculpture will bring artists from five continents and four oceans We're all connected. Now that so many businesses and artists have settled in, it is time for them to participate in the management and planning of Taikang Road Art Street in Shanghai. With their wisdom and energy, Taikang Road will have a new development, new opportunities and new leap. It took the government three years to build Taikang Road into an art street. Three years later, we believe that Taikang Road will take off and become famous all over the world. The development of Taikang Road will develop from one lane - "Tianzifang" to one street - Taikang Road, Shanghai Art Street, and one block - Taikang Road, Sinan Road, Jianguo Road, Ruijin Road, which will be famous in Shanghai, the whole country and the world.

Business is in vogue

A five storey factory building in Tianzifang has been reconstructed into an industrial building in Chengdu. Within 5000 square meters, we have introduced art groups from 10 countries and regions, and they have set up design rooms and studios here. If there are 10 flagpoles in front of the factory with 10 flags from different countries floating on them, it's like opening a small international art fair. Chinese and Western cultures blend and collide here, flashing light and heat. Taikang Road is gradually going to the world.
