中国广场(ChinaSquare)于二OO四年筹备之初,即立志将中国当代艺术推向世界舞台,为了提供艺术同好更进一步交流赏析的平台,二OO七年于纽约正式成立展览空间,定期举办展览。
画廊位处曼哈顿的雀喜(Chelsea)艺术区, 占地4,500平方米的展览空间,座落在远眺哈德逊河的雀尔喜艺术大楼(Chelsea Arts Tower)内,由知名哈佛大学建筑师同时也是北京宋庄美术馆的设计者徐甜甜量身规划,绝佳的地理位置与宽敞简洁的展示空间,让艺术品与藏家能更直接静谧的对话。
展出的媒材多元,涵括油画、雕塑、摄影、录像及装置艺术,囊括当今最顶尖中国当代艺术家如蔡志松、杨识宏、崔国泰、段江华、广慈、何多苓、毛焰、苏新平、向京、徐唯辛、叶永青、张小涛、 赵能智、 锺飙 、朱伟等的精采作品。
近年来,当代艺术逐渐成为收藏中不可或缺的一环,中国当代艺术更是在这波崛起的势力中紧抓世界目光,身处在艺术重镇的纽约,中国广场肩负着将中国当代艺术与世界藏家和艺术机构接轨的使命,除了定期的展览展出,更积极参与世界性艺术博览会,如纽约亚洲当代艺术展(Asian Contemporary Art Fair New York)、 迈阿密巴赛尔艺术博览会(Art Basel Maimi)、伦敦Scope艺术博览会 (Scope London)、 台北国际艺术博览会(Art Taipei)、香港国际艺术展(Art Hong Kong)、新加坡艺术博览会 (Art Singapore)等,藉由密集地曝光提高和世界级藏家见面机会,并致力将中国当代艺术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
