  About Us
 

The goal of Platform China is to create an open artistic environment in which contemporary art in all its different identities can be created, shown, and discussed. We discover, support and promote excellent young Chinese artists and promote international artists' recognition in China.

 
NEW APPROACHES

Platform China is more than just a gallery. Our starting point not only lies in the use of the spaces, and the diversity of the programs (from visual art and film to music, new media and all the other cutting-edge art forms), but also in the events and exhibitions we put on. The goal of Platform China is to create an open artistic environment in which contemporary art in all its different identities can be created, shown, and discussed. We discover, support and promote excellent young Chinese artists. And also promote international artists’ recognition in China. Platform China promotes contemporary art through publishing, curating, and managing art projects nationally and internationally.

 

WORKPLACE/WORK IN PROGRESS

Platform China wants to be an open and dynamic space - a workplace - where both established and emerging artists can not only show their works, but also create new works. Platform China hopes to assist artists from different backgrounds as they define their artistic identity. This support consists of providing space and infrastructure for artists to work, organizing “work” in progress events open to the public, and promoting artists' work on a national and international level.

 
MULTIDISCIPLINARY/INTERACTIVITY

At Platform China, events and programs are multidisciplinary, which challenge fixed boundaries of artistic disciplines. We stimulate interaction between visual art and music, architecture and performance, film and installation, the public and the performer - any and every possible combination.

 
OPENNESS

Platform China's most important aspect is openness. We want to foster discussion, without necessarily trying to provide the viewers or the artists with answers. Everyone who wants to join the open platform that we are building can contact us with projects and proposals.
