宗旨 / Mission Statement

21空间美术馆以当代中国艺术为其推广对象，其中尤以当代中国油画为重点，在学术上以全球化为背景，审视当代艺术与油画发展的整体状况，旨在揭示其与历史、现实、国家主流意识的内部关系与外部扩展。21空间美术馆试图通过定期或不定期的专题展览，深入检讨存在于不同风格形态与表达目标的当代艺术现象与现实潮流之间的文化张力，并把这一张力嵌在中国社会变迁的情境中，从而把区域、国家、全球化，以及全球化当中所发生的事件，通过艺术批评的学术框架联结为整体，从而向人们提供独具个性的艺术景观，并突显其中的精神价值。这表明，21空间美术馆将会持续关注地区艺术发展与文化创新的特殊性，同时不以地方化为其局限，用全球化的眼光来重新定义区域文化的艺术呈现特征，而把当代艺术（中国当代油画）作为这一文化表达的关键。

21 Space Art Museum is committed to promoting contemporary Chinese art with specialty in Chinese oil painting. Our role in a global context examine the outlook on the development of Chinese contemporary art and painting by revealing its inner relation and exterior extension to the history、reality、national mainstream ideology. We attempt to thoroughly criticize the cultural tension, being embedded in the situation of the social changes of China, among various forms of art styles, contemporary art phenomenon and reality trend by hosting feature exhibitions. Framing the academic structure of art critic, we connect this cultural tension with regional、national and global events in a fundamental unit, to outline a characterized art landscape and spiritual value. And it manifests that we successively pay attention to the regional art development and the uniqueness of art innovation, while redefine the art represented by the regional culture from a global perspective, and regard the contemporary art and Chinese contemporary painting as the essence of our cultural expression.
