Garden Metro by Chen Shen

Photography



This is a series dedicated to my hometown, Changping, usually called the garden of Beijing; a suburb of eighteen districts.   During the summer 2013, I went along the Changping metro line tracks. As proof of the compelling ambition and overwhelming speed of the development of the country, Changping metro line took only one year to complete, and became the fourteenth line in Beijing.

China has recently exhibited a resurrection of the industrial revolution. A booming capitalist economy has shaken the old system of wealth, as rapid technological developments cannot wait to replace traditional living habits and the decline of ethical standards tolls the death of parting days. My series is not meant to be simply an elegy for a loss of naturalism in modern society. China’s changes are even more fundamental and drastic. Socialism and its countless variations leave this land with an undeniable legacy, and an unbearable spiritual debt. However, this series is not merely a judgment of a certain scheme that tries to benefit the people but ultimately results in the exact opposite. It’s an epitome and allegory for the dilemma of the country.

Open Hours: Monday – Saturday, Noon – 4:00pm



IN THE SPACE…

Prison Phone Justice Victory Party!

Friday, December 4

5:30 – 7:00 PM

Stage Room

We will be throwing a victory party to celebrate the recent victory for Prison #PhoneJustice and thank members of impacted families who helped us to win this campaign.

On October 22, the FCC ruled to cap the cost of phone calls at jails and prisons in the U.S. This will bring relieve for thousands of individuals incarcerated and their families. For years, predatory phone companies have profited off of our most vulnerable members of society.

Annual IMC Membership Gathering and Meeting

Sunday, December 6

2:00 – 4:30 PM

Please join us!  During the meeting we will build friendships, celebrate our work from this last year, vote on board members and structure changes, brainstorm adventures for the next year - and sing!

Food from the Red Herring will be provided. The space is wheelchair accessible from the south entrance.

The meeting is open to all, although only members in good standing can vote.
