However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

In the artist’s own words: “Beijing is in the throes of a campaign to “improve” its ancient hutongs by cracking down against the unauthorized doorways and windows through which many small working-class and migrant-owned businesses operate. Working alley by alley, local administrators mark these “illegal” openings with large red and yellow stickers. Several days later a crew of helmeted construction workers and security personnel work their way down the street methodically breaking windows and storefronts and quickly filling in the holes with bricks.”
