Meatpacking District, Manhattan
The Meatpacking District is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Manhattan that runs from West 14th Street south to Gansevoort Street, and from the Hudson River east to Hudson Street. The Meatpacking Business Improvement District along with signage in the area, extend these borders farther north to West 17th Street, east to Eighth Avenue, and south to Horatio Street. History Pre-colonial A Lenape trading station called Sapohanikan was on the riverbank, which, accounting for landfill, was located about where Gansevoort Street meets Washington Street today. The footpath that led from Sapohanikan inland to the east became the foundation for Gansevoort Street, which by accident or design aligns, within one degree, so that the Manhattanhenge phenomenon, where the setting sun crosses the horizon looking down the street, occurs at the spring and autumnal equinoxes.

Ou Ning helped launch the project with the help of the agency and has served as the biennial's main curator for every year to date except 2012.

International, non-Chinese artists and designers have also played a significant part in Get It Louder's exhibitions. Sharism was the theme for the 2010 exhibition, which Ou described in the same interview as "originat ngfrom issues of collaboration on Internet space, a ...
