White Space Beijing’s managing director Zhang Di discusses advocating non-traditional media in China

Meet White Space Beijing

‘Beijing is like a friend with a very bad attitude, but he’s so funny and interesting, you just love him.’ &mdash;Zhang Di, Managing Director of White Space Beijing<a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/gallery/1460/White-Space-Beijing">White Space Beijing</a> invites artists to engage with their vast space in the heart of the Caochangdi Art District. The gallery has been conceived as a place for experimentation. With a strong focus on non-traditional media, it collaborates with artists at all stages of their career. White Space Beijing will debut at Art Basel in Basel with a solo presentation by <a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/artist/15763/Christine-Sun-Kim">Christine Sun Kim</a> in the Statements sector. Informed by her experience as a deaf person, the Berlin-based artist unpacks the relationship between visual, written, and spoken languages in a body of work combining performance, drawing, and installation. Sound Diet (2018) was inspired by the birth of Kim’s hearing daughter and by a desire to instill in her a love for sign language, understood by the artist as a unique way to experience a world catering almost exclusively to the hearing.&nbsp;
