That's awesome you stayed at the Chinatown Business Hotel! I've always wanted to explore Beijing's Chinatown more deeply. Those plaques are a great starting point. Try searching online for the Beijing Municipal Archives – they might have digitized records or historical photos related to that specific area.

Check the Today Art Museum's website. They often have artist bios and exhibition notes online, even if it wasn't readily available in the galleries themselves. Also, try searching for the artists' names individually on Google Scholar or Artnet – you might unearth some academic papers or articles that delve deeper into their work and motivations. Failing that, maybe look for books on contemporary Chinese art; a library near the Olympic Park or a university library in Beijing could have some relevant resources. Good luck with your deeper dive!
