Easily one of the largest and best spaces for art in China, the UCCA's 8000 square metres of space is divided into its main hall and three smaller halls.
The massive main hall has hosted intricately constructed environments ranging from disorienting fog and coloured-light filled spaces, to an ominous room filled with floating asteroid-like objects and explosive video installations.
Accordingly, the caliber of UCCA's space is in step with that of the artists it showcases. Internationally acclaimed artists such as Olafur Eliason and Tatsuo Miyajima have stunned audiences with unexpected sensory experiences. Of course Chinese artists have also used UCCA to explode upon the international scene. Yan Pei Ming exploited the main hall by installing a boomingly loud motor system on the ceiling which piped air down tubes blowing 34 flags of material. Each flag roughly portrayed a poverty-stricken child's portrait.
