798 Art District (6): Accidentally Art

According to China.org, the name "798" is more than just a number, its a symbol.  "In Beijing it means, arts, vanguards, unchained personalities and alternative life goals.  Free and rambling atmospheres as well as wild unconquered attitudes are everywhere".  

Speaking of "free and rambling", this fence seems to contradict itself by being rather free and rambling.  It looks as if someone has recycled wood from a sign and created this lovely composition that now protects their tiny garden.  It looks like sharks teeth wearing braces! Beautiful.

Pretty accurate description, really. Everywhere you look there seems to be something strange and beautiful or at least thought provoking.  The intentional art mixing with the unintentional art seeming to grow on its own, organically from the atmosphere here.

These (fuse boxes?) were in a vitrine in a small arcade leading from one tiny street to a larger courtyard.  Someone has altered and personified them with genders.

Timeline of recognizable art: First the galleries, then the boutiques, then the artists' studios, then the public art, then the private art in public spaces, then the mix of old and new architecture, then the graffiti, then the odd mixes of constructions or signs that have become like art on their own and finally the community itself, as one living, organic performance art installation.

Is this an installation?  Two pristine white chairs (not in dialog with each other) set up with nothing to watch but their own reflection in a blank screen.  A comment on China's censorship or television media?  Or, maybe someone was just painting their chairs and left them here to dry.  Am I reading too much into things?

Apparently if you park here, your comically undersized car will be towed away and you will be sad, resting your comically oversized head in your tiny hand.

While this does not appear to be manipulated, someone has recognized its beauty and left it exposed at the entrance of the arcade.  Perhaps the same someone who appreciated those fuse boxes?

When your written language is beautiful it can make anything look interesting.

Look!  Even the sidewalk has been decorated with little metal bits:
