Turning Old Ruins into Cultural Spaces

When abandoned factories or old buildings are turned into tourist attractions, they become valuable for businesses, visitors, and investors. This process turns them from forgotten spaces into popular cultural landmarks.

How Ruins Bring Economic Benefits

Tourism and Money: Restoring old ruins can attract many visitors. For example, the Tate Modern museum welcomes millions of people every year, helping the local economy.

Ruins as Brands: Many old sites are promoted as creative hubs, attracting artists, young professionals, and people interested in culture.

Gentrification and Exclusion: As these spaces become trendy, property prices rise, making it harder for local communities to afford them.

The Problem with Romanticizing Ruins

Losing Their Real Meaning: Old ruins once told important stories about workers' struggles or economic decline. Now, these stories are often replaced with polished, tourist-friendly versions.

Simplifying History: Many ruins are presented in a way that ignores their complex past. For example, Beijing’s 798 Art District was once a Soviet-supported factory, but today it is mainly known as a trendy art space.

Ruins Used for Profit: Many old spaces are turned into commercial businesses rather than places for independent art and culture. This can make it harder for local artists to afford working there.

Separating Art from History: Thinkers like Paul Virilio argue that turning ruins into attractions makes them feel like "fake history," where their true meaning is lost.

Finding a Balance

Despite these problems, some projects try to preserve the history of ruins while giving them new life. Museums and exhibitions in these spaces can help people understand their original purpose and cultural significance.

The River

August 31 - September 29, 2024

C5CNM

Beijing, China

_

In Texas Hold’em, the river card represents the moment of truth as it offers a definitive resolution to the current hand. Despite the potential for the card to conclude the hand, players may still elect to bluff, thereby prolonging the suspense. It is commonly accepted that there is a rationale behind the act of painting. There is a visual source behind the realistic, there is an idea behind the abstract, and if there is no underlying rationale, it is considered to be the Emperor’s New Clothes. If we utilize Texas Hold’em as an analogy for painting, an exhibition always is the moment of truth, whereas the bluff or the mutual imagination of the audience and the artist persist. If one were to equate the structure of creating and viewing art with Texas Hold’em, it would entail not only recognizing bluffing, but also treating it as a crucial technique in the creative process. Such an approach is in fact, be in violation of Kantian aesthetic tradition, even treading on real life moral issues. It is worthwhile to engage in serious reflection on which is more interesting for the experience of art, to demand the existence of meaning or to acknowledge the impossibility of certainty.

Robbin Heyker is a painter, veteran birdwatcher, amateur magician, and Dutchman currently living half of his time in Beijing. Typography design culture and the quick-fix-solutions he observes in the street lives of China serve as sources of inspiration for his work. As a birdwatcher and magician, he is fascinated by fleeting visions and illusions. His paintings are highly ambiguous, as images lacking key information. As introspective objects, his paintings are influenced by the elite painters since the Minimalist movement, including Robert Ryman, Raoul De Keyser, Blinky Palermo, and Daan van Golden. He takes their works as a departure point and, with a deadpan sense of humor, reconnects their withdrawal from representation to the phenomenal world.

C5CNM is an experimental space located in 798 Art District in Beijing. It measures 4.75 by 5.25 meters and 3.5 meters in ceiling height. Its modest though beautiful proportions invite artists to conceive an exhibition as one singular art work. The spatial design by artist Jin Ningning is a multifaceted and transformational artwork that mixes with the different occurrences that take place within, giving visual experience also an “acoustic” complexity.

Since its opening in Spring 2019 C5CNM has transitioned between exhibition space, live performance venue, and “air b-n-b gallery” for non-profits, and it is open to many more interpretations (functions). We hope this quest for unlimited freedom will attract creative individuals or collaboratives from beyond the field of visual art to produce works. We can not anticipate the forms this may take, but only look forward. C5CNM is free and open to the public 24/7. Visitors may enter the space by acquiring the electronic lock combination any time of the day or night and are welcome to spend time alone with the work.

Private non-standard product business

After so many years of development, the application of private domain has become more and more widespread, and now every store is using private domain. Moreover, everyone’s purpose is more direct and clear, which is to make HE Tuber money and business. If you feel that your private domain is not done well and cannot be monetized, you may wish to read this article and the author’s experience and observations.

When we discuss the private domain again, what business are we talking about?

Private domains include: welfare type, interest type, service type, and online business type.

The welfare type is suitable for products with high purchase frequency and low unit price, such as daily necessities and dry goods. Whether users come to the store or place orders directly online, this type focuses on cheap discounts.

Interest type is more like a self-organizing form, similar to city world, running circle, and fitness circle. Online operations are more suitable for products with high unit prices and long user life cycles, such as knowledge payment and high-end jewelry.

While there is no one size fits all situation, there is one thing they all have in common:

By providing goods and services, we can provide users with emotional value and experiential satisfaction to increase loyalty to group owners and brands. If you feel that business is not easy to do this year, then I have a suggestion: bend down and go pick things up in the private domain. Steel iron may be of great value.

01

why would you say so? Let me first share my experience and observations:

Beijing Shougang Park, Sanlitun, 798 Art District and other places have fewer tourists in winter. In order to attract more people to check in at these places and maintain the normal operation of permanent stores, the person in charge of the park will plan some market activities.

They invite various small and medium-sized businesses and individuals with entrepreneurial ideas to set up stalls.

This kind of activity kills three birds with one stone.

First, through market activities, the park provides promotional opportunities for participating merchants. Secondly, activities attract more tourists and bring traffic to the park itself. Most importantly, the event can also uncover potential investment and cooperation opportunities for the art district.

Recently, after visiting many parks, I found that among the beverage stalls outside, fruit juices always sell better than ordinary drinks. This made me think: Why do some people choose the latter when faced with a 7-yuan bottle of Coca-Cola and a 15-yuan glass of lemonade in a city walk?

When it comes to non-standard products, on the surface it seems to be linked to personal preferences, tastes, and personality propositions. Just like, some people will pay for an attitude statement on the merchant's cup.

But looking at a deeper level, people's requirements for product personalization and customization are growing, and the market is gradually shifting from standard products to non-standard products, which actually reflects changes in market supply and demand.

Never underestimate both.

Only when you understand the two business models can you find the incremental path that best suits you in the current market environment. It is undeniable that creating surprises for users, making them happy when buying, and buying them value in life is a good business model.

Let’s take a look at the standard products first:

Take Coke as an example, which is considered a typical standard product. From bottle design, to price, and packaging, consumers have a unified understanding of psychology. There is no need to think too much about product differences when purchasing. They are basically the same wherever you buy them.

If you want your standard products to sell well, there are only two things you need to do: open up channels and make small profits but quick turnover.

I have a friend who processes canned products in a factory and sells them as OEM through short video platforms, Duoduo and other online channels.

He said, look at how it is rolled now. 10 boxes of small yellow croakers cost 40 yuan to post. After deducting the store operating costs, there is almost no profit. If the ROI in a month is not good, it is better to work for employees in the end.

This is the business of standard products. You can fight price wars and traffic wars in public scenarios. In the end, users will feel that your products are not as good as competing products, leaving a bad impression.

Let’s look at the non-standard ones:

Take lemonade as an example. Every store has a different method of making lemonade. The proportions of lemons, water, and ice are different. In the same store, two glasses of lemonade may not taste exactly the same.

In terms of price, users will find lemonade priced at 7 to 18 yuan acceptable. If the price of Coke in the market is fixed at 3 yuan, then it will be considered expensive if it exceeds this price.

These minds, anchored by market communications, are difficult to change.

As an entrepreneur, if your goal is to earn 2,000 yuan a day, a bottle of Coke for 7 yuan will sell 285 bottles, while a bottle of lemonade for 15 yuan will only sell 133 cups. The cost of coke may be 2 yuan, and the profit is 5 yuan; the cost of lemonade is also 2 yuan, but the profit is 13 yuan, and the cost of lemonade is more controllable.

So, what conclusion do I want to tell you?

If next year’s market budget is limited and there is no guarantee that your products will sell better in the public domain market, or even have enough profit margin to support team operations, then it is best to use standard products to attract customers and sell customized models in the private domain ecosystem. Niche product.

These words may sound a bit convoluted, but I suggest that you think more about what types of business you want to bet on based on the actual situation of the company. What is your standard product and what is your non-standard product?

02

Non-standard goods have many values ​​that are difficult to quantify and are difficult to evaluate.

For example:

If doing business in a disciplined manner is likened to "a model student who studies well and graduates successfully", then non-standard people are more like people like "Musk and Zuckerberg" who graduate from middle school and go out to make a career; it starts to look different. Take the common road and discover some unseen scenery as you walk.

However, we can understand non-standard products from the standard product market.

In any business transaction, no matter what you sell, you must first observe the market, conduct experiments, and analyze data. This is not only troublesome, but also requires spending a lot of money to hire consultants.

Nowadays, scientific theories (analytical formulas) and making money are mixed together, which has led to the emergence of many research fields that were previously unthinkable, such as the study of movie trends, business strategies, and the study of online novels and short-term Games or something.

The most bizarre thing is that it also provides five elements and Feng Shui analysis for bosses and individuals. It sounds like a mix of traditional numerology and modern business analysis, giving people a mysterious and modern feeling.

I don’t know how much scientific basis these analyzes have. It seems that some people really believe that it can help them find direction in business decisions, or at least give them some psychological comfort.

Those who create or seek research work know that even if the content consumption market seems difficult to predict, as long as the internal laws of market development are found through scientific theory, market dynamics can be predicted and the next wave of dividends will be determined.

But in my opinion, clients paying expensive consulting fees and blindly worshiping scientific analysis are essentially the same as burning incense, fortune-telling, and asking for fortune-telling. Although they can provide certain guidance, in fact, these studies cannot provide Definitive answer.

Any research is inseparable from a formula:

Physical form (commodity carrier), target audience, practical value; standard products can minimize the knowledge blind spots between each pair of relationships, find large precursors and small precursors, trace the source, and foresee future trends.

I don't know if this is clear enough.

for example:

You want to develop a sports drink. In terms of physical form, taste, color, and packaging design should be considered; the target audience is people who exercise regularly, and the practical value may be to replenish electrolytes and water lost during exercise.

Then, based on the standard product framework, study the characteristics of successful sports drinks on the market, such as the most popular flavors, the most attractive packaging, and the nutritional ingredients that are different from competing products, and then, based on these data, predict your The performance of beverages in the future market to formulate production strategies.

Have you ever thought that non-standard products can break down the formula and make it impossible to infer physical properties, practical value, and target audience? Well, can’t games, novels, and content consumption be studied? no.

Because the success of non-standard products depends largely on two points:

First of all, the practical value comes from the personalized experience needs that vary from person to person, not from the general practical purpose. It could be emotional feelings, aesthetic feelings, social needs, or a mix of other factors.

It is difficult to test demand with a set of standardized methods. Everyone has different feelings, so horizontal comparisons cannot be made. This also means that it is difficult to explain clearly what makes a product popular, and it is even harder to find some general rules based on existing phenomena. Predict what will happen in the future.

To put it simply: Personalization is difficult to figure out and cannot be figured out with a set of rules.

Secondly, non-standard products are reflexive and cannot be defined in a standardized way. People who consume them often pursue novel experiences and like the unprecedented feeling. Once this feeling is made into a standardized product, it loses the most attractive part, such as the old Marvel movies.

This kind of reflexivity, no matter how the experience is derived, is short-lived. If you don’t believe me, take a look at the products derived from limited IP. As the market becomes more popular, everyone will no longer be surprised.

Therefore, in the future environment, companies that produce standard products will not collapse, but a large part of their profits (brand premium, consumption value) will be eaten up by countless small and medium-sized craftsmen.
