beiLAB is a multidisciplinary work space and research platform covering an office space, an artist studio and a project space for lectures and workshops. BeiLAB is conceived as a meeting place for artistic, architectural, scientific and corporate communities researching China's social and urban identities in all its greyscales.
THREE FRAMES
ONE / RESEARCH AND DISCOURSE
We host projects in residence undertaking research or developing discourse.
TWO / CHINA'S URBAN AND SOCIAL DYNAMICS
Projects reveal a link with China: they zoom in on China's urban and social dynamics, confront art and technology with the different realities of the Chinese city and/or the patchwork of people it unites, define and renconfigure Chinese identity in a global perspective.
THREE / MULTI DIRECTIONAL
BeiLAB is fascinated by projects that are not too rigid to stick to their own context, but experiment with knowledge, perspectives, technology and physical environments other disciplines and communities have to offer.

ONE STUDIO
The studio is located in the beiLAB, on the top (third) floor of an old factory building in a small hutong (traditional Chinese alley) south of the Lama Temple. The area is known as Beixinqiao (New Northern Bridge) in the north eastern part of Beijing, within the second ring road which is considered the very center of the city.
The studio covers in total 104 square metres, and consists of a 10 metres long, 5.5 metres wide open living and workspace, with two big windows with view on the old city, a separate bathroom and a separate kitchen with all necessary appliances to cook and dine. The furniture in the studio can be reorganized according to the residents need. There is wireless internet available.
The studio has a separate entrance to ensure the privacy of the resident. Next to the artist studio, the beiLAB covers another private apartment, an office space and a project space with pantry, for project presentations, workshops and lectures. In certain occassions, artists in residence use the project space to present work in process. Images.
