"Arrow Factory: The Next 4 Years is a compendium of projects that transpired in our Beijing storefront art space, and documents our mission to bring creative site-specific collaboration, exploration and experimentation into life's daily fold. Picking up where our first volume, 3 Years: Arrow Factory (2008-2011) left off, this publication chronicles our ongoing artistic engagement with public space through twenty-two projects mounted in our hutong alley location between March 2011 and May 2015. The works by local and international artists displayed at Arrow Factory are only viewable from the street, provisional in nature, and from meaningful responses to our ever-changing economic, social and political conditions. These artworks exist in the ephemera of the moment; the only lasting evidence of their original configurations are online or within the pages of this book."--Printed Matter website (viewed on November 10, 2017).
