BEIJING - In his gray fleece jacket and pressed khaki pants, Xu Yong looks more like a department store manager than a maverick who is one of the most successful promoters of avant-garde art in China and a protector of its historic architecture. Standing in 798 Space, his contemporary art gallery in northeastern Beijing, next to a row of faded photographs of a woman firing a handgun, Xu carefully thanks the city government for supporting the Dashanzi International Art Festival, a collaboration among 74 galleries and private art studios in a refurbished 1950s-era weapons factory.
