Founded in 2006, ChinaSquare is located in the heart of Chelsea, Manhattan. ChinaSquare's 4,500 square foot space, part of the recently constructed Chelsea Arts Tower at 545 West 25th Street is the vision of Xu Tiantian, the architect for Song-Zhuang Museum, Beijing.
ChinaSquare exhibits Chinese contemporary artwork including photography, painting, sculpture, video art, and installations. ChinaSquare will continue to showcase cutting edge artists, Xiang Jing 向京 & Guangci 廣慈, Li Tianyuan 李天元, Chen Jiagang 陳家剛, Zhuwei 朱偉, Ying Zhaoyang 尹朝陽, Su Xinping 蘇新平, Zhong Biao 鍾飆, Ye Yongqing 葉永青 and many more.
In recent years, the Chinese contemporary art market has experienced unprecedented prosperity and some artists have gained tremendous recognition in the international art world. Yet, many young and talented Chinese artists are still confined to domestic markets in China and remain virtually unknown to Western audiences. ChinaSquare was born from the need of established Chinese contemporary artists abroad to obtain credible representation in New York City.
Through exhibitions, art fairs, and publications, ChinaSquare improves the accessibility of Chinese contemporary art to art historians, connoisseurs, museums and cultural institutions, critics, foundations, collectors, and art enthusiasts. ChinaSquare works closely with these audiences to facilitate and develop the careers of Chinese contemporary artists, both academically and commercially. Because New York City is renowned as a leading cultural and financial center, it provides a rich and profound setting for the introduction of talented contemporary artists.
