烁乐画廊 Galerie du Monde

烁乐画廊（gdm）于1974年由Fred Scholle在香港创办，遂以世界画廊（Galerie du Monde）开始举办展览至今。画廊致力培育及支持艺术家的长期艺术实践，目前代理了二十多位艺术家。gdm 以其开创性的战后华人艺术项目而受到国际讚誉，其中包括香港“中元画会”，台湾“五月画会”等。

2008年，gdm 迈进新的里程碑，以当代艺术为重心，致力支持新锐、中生代和亚裔离散艺术家的艺术实践。推进与策展人和全球机构的合作，为艺术家提供更多元的实验平台和展览机会，让艺术家在本地社区以及国际当代艺术界的舞台上保持活跃，并以最大限度展现他们的理念，发挥当代艺术作为社会参与性论述的潜能。

为庆祝画廊成立50周年（1974-2024），烁乐画廊于2024年底在台北设立新空间，并发布全新“上青”项目，专门发掘本地年轻艺术家，为年轻、未被代理的艺术家提供发表作品的平台，希望透过该项目根植本地艺术社群。

gdm is a Hong Kong-based art gallery founded by Fred Scholle in 1974. Originally opened as Galerie du Monde, gdm represents more than twenty artists, nurturing a diverse roster of artists at all stages of their creative practices with a global perspective. The gallery has been acclaimed for its ground-breaking work in championing artists of postwar and contemporary movements such as Hong Kong’s Circle Art Group, and Taiwan’s Fifth Moon.

gdm Projects launched in 2008 which transformed the gallery with a new emphasis on contemporary art and dedication to supporting emerging and underrepresented diaspora artists engaging with cultural identity and conceptual practices. Fostering collaborations with curators and institutions worldwide — gdm operates a dynamic program that encourages imagination and risk-taking, driven to provide opportunities for artists to amplify their voices within their communities, and across platforms in the international contemporary art world.

To celebrate 50 years (1974-2024), gdm opened a new space in Taipei in 2024. With its opening, gdm Taipei will launch “Siōng Tshinn,” a special program that focuses on spotlighting emerging local talent, providing a platform for young, unrepresented Taiwanese artists to showcase their works. Through “Siōng Tshinn,” gdm hopes to plant meaningful and lasting roots in the local art community.
