During the middle of December,some members from the curatorial team of Taikang Space went to Guangzhou and Shenzhen to observe and study  the artistic ecology of the Pearl River Delta. They visited many artists' studios, curators and made academic exchange with the local art organizations.

“Chat·Chat·Chat…” was a talk programme about Non-profit arts organizations in China which designed by the curatorial team of Taikang Space. Together with the exhibition for the 10^th Anniversary of Taikang Space <From Fuxingmen to Caochangdi: Taikang Space 2003-> in the main exhibition hall, we arranged the first floor’s small exhibition hall into a cozy living room.
We constantly invited 16 important people who were very experienced about the operation of the non-profit art organizations in China to communicate with us during two months (from September to December 2013.)
We developed a series in-depth dialogue focusing on the problems from interior to exterior and the future possibilities of the organizations with them, and then edited the content into the book Non-profit art organizations in China which was published at the end of 2013. As the rareness of the similar activities and relative publications, it has particular practical significance and academic reference value in these programs and publications.
