中國廣場(ChinaSquare)于二OO四年籌備之初,即立志將中國當代藝術推向世界舞臺,為了提供藝術同好更進一步交流賞析的平臺,二OO七年于紐約正式成立展覽空間,定期舉辦展覽。
畫廊位處曼哈頓的雀喜(Chelsea)藝術區(qū), 占地4,500平方米的展覽空間,座落在遠眺哈德遜河的雀爾喜藝術大樓(Chelsea Arts Tower)內(nèi),由知名哈佛大學建筑師同時也是北京宋莊美術館的設計者徐甜甜量身規(guī)劃,絕佳的地理位置與寬敞簡潔的展示空間,讓藝術品與藏家能更直接靜謐的對話。
展出的媒材多元,涵括油畫、雕塑、攝影、錄像及裝置藝術,囊括當今最頂尖中國當代藝術家如蔡志松、楊識宏、崔國泰、段江華、廣慈、何多苓、毛焰、蘇新平、向京、徐唯辛、葉永青、張小濤、 趙能智、 鍾飆 、朱偉等的精采作品。
近年來,當代藝術逐漸成為收藏中不可或缺的一環(huán),中國當代藝術更是在這波崛起的勢力中緊抓世界目光,身處在藝術重鎮(zhèn)的紐約,中國廣場肩負著將中國當代藝術與世界藏家和藝術機構接軌的使命,除了定期的展覽展出,更積極參與世界性藝術博覽會,如紐約亞洲當代藝術展(Asian Contemporary Art Fair New York)、 邁阿密巴賽爾藝術博覽會(Art Basel Maimi)、倫敦Scope藝術博覽會 (Scope London)、 臺北國際藝術博覽會(Art Taipei)、香港國際藝術展(Art Hong Kong)、新加坡藝術博覽會 (Art Singapore)等,藉由密集地曝光提高和世界級藏家見面機會,并致力將中國當代藝術送到各重要收藏者手中。
Conceived in 2004, ChinaSquare was born from a desire to facilitate contemporary Chinese artists entering international markets while providing guidance to new enthusiasts. Not satisfied to be a niche of the art world, ChinaSquare advocates the idea that Chinese contemporary art is relevant to every collector of contemporary art.
Located in Chelsea, the heart of Manhattan's arts district, the gallery is ideally positioned to introduce the work of Chinese artists to a wider international audience. Notably different from othergalleries that exhibit Chinese art, ChinaSquare is committed solely to the promotion of Chinese contemporary work, and only Chinese artists. Our New York gallery space acts as the hub from which we communicate with clients and institutions while preparing our rigorous exhibition and art fair schedules. With an office in Beijing dedicated to cultivating artist relations, no sacrifice is made in the service and care provided to the artists we represent. For these reasons, we are able to work fluidly with both the talent in China and the collectors in North America and Europe.
ChinaSquare increases the visibility of Chinese contemporary art both academically and commercially by collaborating closely with art historians, private collectors, museums and cultural institutions, critics, foundations, and art enthusiasts. The gallery space itself is part of the recently constructed Chelsea Arts Tower, the vision of Xu Tiantian, the architect for the Song Zhuang Museum in Beijing. The 4,500 square foot space is used to exhibit Chinese contemporary artwork including photography, painting, sculpture, video art, and installations. ChinaSquare is especially proud to show the works of Cai Zhisong 蔡志松, Chihung Yang 楊識宏, Cui Guotai 崔國泰, Duan Jianghua 段江華, Guangci 廣慈, He Duoling 何多苓, Mao Yan 毛焰, Su Xinping 蘇新平, Xiang Jing 向京, Xu Weixin 徐唯辛, Zhang Xiaotao 張小濤, Zhao Nengzhi 趙能智, Zhong Biao 鍾飆 and Zhu Wei 朱偉
