The "Apartment of Dreams Come True" mainly thrives on the vigor and dynamism that evolves between the artists and the social and specific environment of Dongxindian. "Normally, many artists create their works alone in their studios, sometimes outside the studio as well. However, only very few of them live in the space where they work and create. After a while, many of the artworks go to art galleries, a rather formal context, to be exhibited.

"We, on the contrary, bring the artists into surroundings that typify Beijing; those that, on the one hand, are full of life, but on the other where many problems also occur. It is exactly amid the interaction and exchanges with this place that many unexpected, unpredicted things happen."

"In my opinion, China's development over the past years is comparable to a pressure cooker or an accelerator. Everything seems to happen in great haste and at enormous speed, which causes many problems," young artist Sun Shaokun said. Sun tries to reflect these problems in her artworks.

Although the exhibition period of each artist's work in the apartment might be limited, everybody involved nevertheless thinks it is definitely worth the effort. "For us, most important is that these things happen at all, and that we initiate something. All the different artworks and performances have then definitely fulfilled their task," Yang said.

So, now that her time is up, Sun Shaokun hands the "Apartment of Dreams Come True" on to the next artist and his ideas. Her room divider rolled up under her arm, she leaves for the world outside, where dividing barriers are less easy to uninstall and roll up than her installation. However, through her work young Chinese artists might at least have made a small contribution to rolling up certain questions and opening up new space for thought.
