Tsinghua University

ARTIST RESIDENCY CHINA — BEIJING, no. 9

Tsinghua University

Haidian District, Beijing, location of the artist residency program at Inside Out Museum, is home to at least eleven major universities. Founded in 1911, Tsinghua University is a public research institute with a wide range of academic programs. Within it, the Academy of Arts & Design has a museum-quality gallery, 25 departments including architecture, graphic design, drawing, painting and other fine arts, a compact art supply store, and a bilingual menu at the coffee shop. The art building is new and enormous. Major concentrations of parked bikes, that are nearly absent from public streets, are used by most people to get around the large campus. No helmets ever.
