An ongoing exhibition at the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art is putting a renewed focus on its future. Lin Qi reports.
The fate of the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art is unclear as it is not known who will take it over from Belgian founder and collector Guy Ullens.
One of Beijing's landmark museums, the center has received more than 4 million visitors since its opening in 2007, becoming "a catalyst for contemporary culture in China".
An official statement in June said that because of age, Ullens who is in his 80s, is looking for a new owner.
Since then, the art circles have been worrying about UCCA's future.
Now, an ongoing exhibition at the institution reinforces its will to stay in the 798 art district where it has been located for a decade.
