 Hou Hanru\n\nWorld Factory presents over 30 international artists whose 
 works respond to the issues and conflicts within the global “free 
 market” economy. The outsourcing of manufacturing from “First World” 
 to “Third World” countries causes serious impacts on both sides: 
 pollution, displacement of populations, excessive exploitation of natural 
 resources, and uneven development resulting in further divisions between 
 the rich and the poor. Concurrently, the formation of a global consumerist 
 culture is exerting significant influences on local cultures. World 
 factories are not only producing material goods for the consumer market but 
 are also producing a new social consciousness and mobilization. The artists 
 in World Factory are responding to these conditions with different models 
 and new methods of creation. Taking the form of an exhibition-in-progress, 
 World Factory uses a variety of strategies for presentation including the 
 overlapping phases of the gallery installation, workshops, film screenings, 
 seminars, off-site and site-specific projects, and web-based works.
