红门画廊 Red Gate Gallery

布朗·华莱士（Brian Wallace）于1984年首次来到中国，并于1988年至1990年开始在北京古观象台等地为中国年轻艺术家组织展览。

1991年，布朗在具有600年历史的北京明代东便门角楼创立红门画廊。

在过去的32年里，红门画廊一直致力于呈现中国当代艺术的精髓，展现和推广中国艺术家，并通过充满活力的国际驻地艺术家项目促进中国与世界其他地区的文化交流和对话。

2017年，红门画廊迁至798艺术区，专注中国当代艺术和国际文化交流。

红门画廊被公认为中国当代艺术界历史发展进程中的持续开拓者。

Brian Wallace first arrived in China in 1984 and began organizing exhibitions for young Chinese artists at the Ancient Observatory and other places from 1988 – 1990.

In 1991 he opened Red Gate Gallery in Beijing’s 600-year old Ming Dynasty Dongbianmen corner tower.

Over the last 32 years, the gallery has been engaging and promoting Chinese artists by exhibiting the best of Chinese contemporary art as well as facilitating cultural exchanges and dialogues between China and the rest of the world through its vibrant Artist-In-Residence Program established in 2001.

In 2017, Red Gate Gallery moved to 798 Art Zone focusing on Chinese contemporary art and international cultural exchange.

Red Gate is recognized both as a tour de force and trail blazer in the history and development of the contemporary Chinese art scene.

创始人

“1991年，我在中国成立了最早的当代艺术画廊。正出于此，我可以站在一个更好的角度来审视这些变化。艺术家们总是在最纷繁的变化和发展中找到灵感。作为中国当代艺术的先行者，我充分理解了世界对中国当代艺术突如其来的兴趣的原因所在。中国当代艺术终于有了众多不同的载体和技法，中国当代艺术家更可以在作品中以更个性的手法表达他们周遭的变化。”

“Having founded one of the oldest contemporary art galleries in mainland China in 1991, I have had an excellent vantage point from which to observe these changes. With the good fortune of having a front row seat to this artistic production, it is not difficult for me to understand the world’s sudden and intense interest in Chinese contemporary art. With a menu of stylistic and technical options finally at their fingertips, the artists of contemporary China can respond with unbridled creative energy to the laboratory of progress that bustles around them”
