参展艺术家:贺昆、张广慧、苏新平、周吉荣、唐承华、卢志平、徐保中
2008年标志着红门画廊将第六次成功举办飞利浦海德基金会:当代版画与年历展。
这项活动是由画廊总监华莱士组织发起的,旨在弘扬飞利浦海德基金会为救助中国孤儿而做出的卓有成效的努力。华莱士希望红门画廊能以这种形式积极参与到社会慈善事业中。他说: 这项活动是一种独特的沟通方式,通过它能够把中国公众、慈善事业和艺术联系起来并让彼此进行沟通和相互的理解。
本次展览还会是中国艺术家以及收藏家们热心于慈善事业绝佳体现。艺术家们将提供丝网版画、石板画、铜版画、木版画及雕版画等不同形式的版画作作品。而收藏家们每年都会收藏艺术家们精心制作的由原版作品集结成册的年历。其中一些藏家收藏了从2004年至今的所有年历作品。
这项跨领域的合作为飞利浦海德基金会的项目之一:谢菲尔德儿童村做出了重要的贡献。每年展览的所得都将通过基金会直接投入到这个慈善项目中。
本次展览展出的所有版画作品原作都将集结为年历形式对公众出售
题为“共同的空间”的2008年度飞利浦海德基金会:当代版画艺术展,将主题定为了环境保护。在参展作品中,艺术家将以诸多形式来表现和阐释他们对于我们共同空间的认识和理解。“共同的空间”可以被理解为我们人类所存在的自然环境和人工环境;也可以被理解成为我们生命形式和精神内外所包含的或大或小的空间。艺术家们在作品中表现着我们共同空间的种种状态和我们为了保护这日益脆弱的共同空间所需要承担的共同责任。
参展艺术家均在国内版画界享有盛誉并定期在国内外举办个人展览。
每位艺术家将制作50版自己的最新作品,每一件作品都由艺术家署名、编号并标注日期。参展的作品将会被精心集合并制作成为50本年历——每本包括7幅带有编号的版画作品。藏家可以以年历的形式或单独对作品进行收藏。
2008年度飞利浦海德当代版画展将于11月2日(星期六)在798 l 红门画廊隆重开幕。

BEIJING, November 2008.
2008 marks the 6th successive year for Red Gate Gallery to host the Philip Hayden Foundation: Contemporary Printmaking Calendar and Exhibition.
The project is the initiative of the gallery director, Brian Wallace, who wants to acknowledge the valuable work being done by the Philip Hayden Foundation for orphaned and needy children in China.
In 2003 Brian Wallace looked to ways that Red Gate could be involved in the work of this non-profit charity.
To Brian “The project is a unique way of bringing the Chinese public, the (Philip Hayden Foundation) charity and the art world into contact with each other”.
It is a collaboration that extends to the generosity of the Chinese artists who provide the lithographs, wood-cuts, etchings and silk-screen prints, and the dedicated collectors who annually purchase a calendar of original, editioned prints. Some collectors have the entire sequence from 2004 to 2008.
This collaboration provides an important contribution to the Shepherds’ Field Children’s Village, a project of the Philip Hayden Foundation, as the proceeds of sales flow directly to the charity *.
60\% of total proceeds will be donated to the Shepherds’ Field Children’s Village
40\% will be given to the artists to cover production costs and fees

The exhibition titled Living Space showcases the artworks that comprise the 2009 Calendar.
Living Space addresses the theme of environmental protection with the works representing various aspects of our living space. Living space may be read as spaces in which people live – the natural and built environments. It may also be interpreted as spaces which have ‘spirit’ and life-forms –however small or large. Each artist addresses the condition of our living space, as well as our individual and collective responsibilities to ensure the protection of our increasingly fragile ecology.
The artists have established reputations as printmakers and are regular exhibitors at galleries throughout China and overseas.
Each artist has produced an original print in an edition of 50.
The works are signed, dated and numbered by the artist.
The prints are packaged as 50 calendars – each calendar contains seven editioned prints. The collector who purchases a calendar may choose to retain the works in calendar form or have each mounted as seven distinctive artworks.
The 2008 exhibition of contemporary printmaking opens at the 798 l Red Gate Gallery on Saturday 22 November.
