10th Anniversary Exhibition
Red Gate Gallery's 10th
Anniversary is being
celebrated by an exhibition
called Clues to the Future
which seeks to describe the
direction in which Red Gate's
diverse stable of artists is
heading.
The gallery asked
each artist to prepare a few
new works that confirm their
recent art practice or gives
a clear indication of their
creative intention.
For example, we have Su
Xinping producing woodcuts
after his recent concentration on oil painting, Han Congwu
moving to black and white photography, Shi Zhongying
turning to stone sculpture after the highly successful debut
of his metal sculptures, along with the introduction to oil
paintings by emerging artist Zhang Hongbo.
Featured in the spectacular space of the Watchtower will
be a specially commissioned installation by the famous
papercut artist Lu Shengzhong.
The exhibition also celebrates the return of Red Gate to its
original location at the Dongbianmen Watchtower during
last year, the launch of an artist-in-residence program and
the occasional hosting of international artists in its new
space.
A color catalogue will accompany the exhibition.

Red Gate was founded in 1991 by Australian Brian Wallace. Wallace first came to
China in 1986 to study Chinese language at People's University, Beijing. He then
went on to study art history in 1990 - 91 at the Central Academy of Fine Arts,
Beijing. In 1988 he began organizing exhibitions for young Chinese artists which
eventually lead to the establishment of Red Gate Gallery at its original location, the
Dongbianmen Watchtower. Since then Red Gate has been exhibiting six to eight
solo shows per year, complimented by a few group shows in summer and winter.
