To this end, timezone 8 recently worked with China-based magazines Urban China and +0086 to translate and publish their groundbreaking content in the fields of urban planning and street culture respectively. It also worked with the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art to publish three new titles on contemporary art and artists.
