BEIJING COMMUNE Beijing Focus: Contemporary Artists: Hu Xiaoyuan, Liang Yuanwei, Ma Qiusha, Wang Guangle, Zhao Yao

Founded in 2004 by Leng Lin, now president of Pace Beijing, Beijing Commune is one of the most active galleries in the Chinese capital focusing on Chinese contemporary art. The space, a redbrick one-story building located in the 798 Art District, regularly mounts exhibitions by both established and emerging Chinese contemporary artists. The gallery has helped foster the
careers of major players in the Chinese art world, such as Song Dong—who filled MoMA’s atrium with the contents
of his mother’s house in 2009—and multimedia artist Yin Xiuzhen. When Yin and others left for bigger names like Pace, Beijing Commune shifted its focus to once again support emerging talents.

BOERS-LI GALLERY Beijing Focus: Contemporary Artists: Chen Shaoxiong, Chen Yujun, Hou Yong, Xie Zhengli, Yang Xinguang, Zhang Peili

Although the gallery began as a nonprofit in 2005, partners Waling Boers and Pi Li soon realized that operating a nonprofit space in China was nearly impossible. Moving forward as a commercial enterprise, Boers took over all aspects of operational management. The gallery has put an emphasis on supporting upcoming and experimental artists. In 2012 it hosted the group exhibition “Ministry of Truth”—a collection of works by nine well-known artists from the United States, China, and Germany—as well as Kang Wanhua’s “Made in Prison” series, a collection of drawings done by the artist during his imprisonment from 1976 to 1978.

GALLERIA CONTINUA Beijing, China; San Gimignano, Italy; Le Moulin, France Focus: Contemporary Artists: Ai Weiwei, Berlinde
 De Bruyckere, Subodh Gupta, Giovanni Ozzola, Serse

Friends Mario Cristiani, Lorenzo Fiaschi, and Maurizio Rigillo founded Galleria Continua in 1990 in an old movie theater in the medieval town of San Gimignano, Italy. Fifteen years later, they made a major shift in scope when they opened a second space in Beijing’s 798 Art District with an inaugural show of 16 artists from five continents, and in 2007, they opened a third location in Le Moulin, in the French countryside. Today, the gallery continues to present a wide range of international practitioners in its Beijing space, including Berlinde De Bruyckere, Moataz Nasr, and Kendell Geers.

JAMES COHAN GALLERY Shanghai, China; New York, U.S. Focus: Contemporary 
Artists: Ingrid Calame, Folkert De Jong, Shi Zhiying, Bill Viola, Wang Xieda

Founded on New York’s West 57th Street in September 1999, James Cohan Gallery showed work by British duo Gilbert & George at its inaugural exhibition. The gallery moved to West 26th Street in 2002, and in 2008 expanded to Shanghai, where it occupies a 1930s villa in the city’s former French Concession. Cohan’s programming strives to create a dialogue between China and the U.S., with, for instance, a March 2012 exhibition of videos by Bill Viola, followed by a show of Shi Zhiying’s contemporary inks.

LONG MARCH SPACE Beijing Focus: Contemporary Artists: Chen Chieh-jen, Guo Fengyi, Hu Xiangqian, Huang Ran

International curator Lu Jie opened Long March Space in 2002, and since then it has become a leading voice in
Beijing’s 798 Art District. With a focus on cultivating Chinese contemporary talent, the gallery not only mounts exhibitions but also hosts a residency program that allows curators, scholars, and artists to live and work in China for up to six months. Among the space’s 2012 shows were Zhang Hui’s “Groundless,” Huang Ran’s “Disruptive Desires, Tranquility, and the Loss of Lucidity,” and Zhan Wang’s “Form of the Formless.”

SHANGHAI GALLERY OF ART Shanghai Focus: Asian contemporary Artists: Feng Mengbo, Heidi Voet, Xu Bing, Zhuang Hui and Dan’er

Shanghai Gallery of Art, situated in
the city’s landmark building Three
on the Bund, gained significant momentum under the directorship of Mathieu Borysevicz, with strong shows that included Feng Mengbo’s 3-D lenticular prints taken in the dilapidated Shanghai Natural History Museum and works
by Xu Bing related to his novel Book From the Ground—a story told entirely
in pictograms. After Borysevicz’s departure last year, the gallery took a six-month respite, reopening in April under the direction of Singaporean artist, critic, and curator Josef Ng, whose
first show, “Some Like It Hot,” was an assortment of work including striking concrete torsos by Yu Ji.

RED GATE Beijing Focus: Contemporary Artists: Chen Qingqing, Chen Yufei, Han Qing, Jiang Weitao, Island 6

Perched high in the Dongbianmen Watchtower, one of the last relics of the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial City, Red Gate has planted itself firmly
in China’s physical past while representing some of the country’s most progressive conceptual artists. When the space opened in 1991, it was among China’s first private contemporary galleries. Australian director and founder Brian Wallace has also organized an international residency program that allows artists and other creatives to live and work in China. In 2012 the exhibition “Two Generations: 20 Years of Chinese Contemporary Art Tours Australia” celebrated the gallery’s two-decade history.

TANG CONTEMPORARY ART Beijing and Hong Kong, China; Bangkok, Thailand Focus: Contemporary Artists: Navin Rawanchaikul, Sun Yuan & Peng Yu, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Wang Du, Yang Jiechang

Founded in 2000, Tang Contemporary has been a leader in promoting Chinese contemporary art both locally and internationally. The gallery opened a commodious space in Beijing’s 798 Art District in 2006 and has secured a roster of major figures on the Chinese art
scene, including Wang Du, Yang Jiechang, Sun Yuan & Peng Yu, Yan Lei, Lin Yilin, and Liu Xiaodong, while at
the same time fostering relationships
with international artists such as Rirkrit 
Tiravanija and Navin Rawanchaikul. With another location in Bangkok and
a year-old space in Hong Kong, Tang
Contemporary Art continues to extend
its reach and influence across Asia.

Chinese photographer Rong Rong and Japanese photographer inri launched Three Shadows six years ago in Beijing’s up-and-coming Caochangdi art district. One
of the first contemporary art spaces of its kind in China, Three Shadows caters solely to international photography and video art practices. While the Ai Weiwei–designed center has 880 square meters of gallery space, the much larger complex also houses a library, darkrooms, production studios, classes and workshops, and an artist-in-residence program. Although Three Shadows operates as an NGO, its related +3 Gallery promotes artists professionally. Recent shows at the
complex have ranged from Nobuyoshi Araki’s “Sentimental Journey/Decadence in Paradise,” featuring the Japanese photographer’s honeymoon pictures, to “The NORDOX Photo Exhibition,” highlighting the work of nine Scandinavian photojournalists.

Artists: Cao Fei, Chu Yun, Duan Jianyu, Ming Wong, Pak Sheung Chuen

Operating as both a commercial gallery and an independent event space, Guangzhou’s Vitamin Creative Space was started by Hu Fang and Zhang Wei in 2002. They’ve since experimented with other projects that blur the boundaries between community and commerce: the Shop and the Pavilion, both in Beijing. Last year Vitamin Creative Space saw Hao Liang and Zheng Guogu take the project “Contemplate Shanshui - Sunny after Snow - The Great Visionary Transformation” to Art Basel Miami Beach; Lee Kit showed his solo presentation “The Scent of a Person” at Artissima in Torino; and Pak Sheung Chuen showed “Left & Right, Blue & Sky” at Frieze Art Fair London.

scene. The gallery launched the Hong Kong space in 2011 with an exhibition of 10 masterworks by Chinese-French painter Zao Wou-Ki made between 1952 and 1964. Last March, de Sarthe brought Mariko Mori installations to Hong Kong that were taken from her “Rebirth” show in London.

The gallery is known for its expertise in 20th-century Italian art and regularly showsLucio Fontana, Alighiero e Boetti, and Mimmo Rotella, among others. It expanded to Hong Kong in 2009, added “Fine Arts” to its name, and was the first gallery to occupy the now dealer-packed Pedder Building.

But its calling card is one of the top artists in Southeast Asia: I Nyoman Masriadi, the firebrand Indonesian painter whose paintings of cartoonish, muscular figures have dominated recent auctions. Last year, Gajah’s notable shows included “The Fountain of Lamneth,” featuring the work of up-and-coming artists from Bandung, Indonesia. Gajah also established Yogyakarta Art Lab, a venue for contemporary artists and local artisans to collaborate on specific projects. Yunizar was its first invited artist, and his works were shown at Art Stage Singapore 2013.

SOUTH KOREA

GANA ART Seoul and Busan, South Korea; New York, U.S. Focus: Contemporary Artists: Seung-Woo Back, Bien-U Bae, Nam-Pyo Kim, Young-Hoon Ko, Su-Fan Oh

One of the pioneering institutions on the local Seoul art scene since 1983, Gana Art has maintained its influence through its keen eye for local art trends. The gallery has established leading auction house SeoulAuction, maintained a stronghold in now tourist-run Insa-dong with the Insa Art Space, and branched out into new media with the 99-by-78-meter digital canvas on the facade of the Seoul Square building. Earlier this year the gallery marked its 30th anniversary with an exhibition of local collectors’ favorite works called “My Friend, My Treasured Art.”

GALLERY HYUNDAI Seoul, South Korea Focus: Contemporary Artists: Robert Indiana, Jeon Joon-ho, Kim Tschang-Yeul, Moon Kyungwon, Thomas Struth

Founded in 1970, Gallery Hyundai was one of South Korea’s first commercial galleries and has since become an influential destination for veteran artists in the region. While programming is predominantly dedicated to established Korean names, major international artists are shown regularly. The past year saw Billy Childish make his South Korean debut with an exhibition of portraits of major literary figures Yi Sang and Yi Kwang-su; a retrospective on Kim Chong-hak; and a breakthrough showcase of erotic drawings from the Joseon Kingdom era (1392–1910), which were gently pried from hesitant collectors’ hands for the exhibition.

HAKGOJAE GALLERY Seoul, South Korea Focus: Contemporary Artists: Sea Hyun Lee, Yongbaek Lee, Kang Yobae, Noh Suntag, Song Hyun Sook

First founded in the former art hub of Insa-dong in 1988, Hakgojae moved to its current location in 2008. Housed within a traditional hanok building and a modern annex, the gallery, like its architecture, bridges past and present with both historical and contemporary exhibitions. Last summer the gallery also spotlighted emerging Chinese artists with
a group showcase marking the
20th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Japan and China. Other major exhibitions include a multi-disciplinary show of work by architect Kim Paik Sun, held earlier this year.

KUKJE GALLERY Seoul, South Korea Focus: Contemporary Artists: Gimhongsok, Kimsooja, Rhee Kibong, Lee Ufan, Haegue Yang

A regular at the world’s top art fairs, the gallery is best known for introducing major contemporary artists likeDamien Hirstand Anish Kapoor to regional audiences. The most memorable exhibitions from the past year include American artist Sterling Ruby’s local debut, a retrospective dedicated to Alexander Calder’s exclusively black sculptures on Kukje’s 30th anniversary, and a showing of the latest video works by Korean artist Kimsooja.
