Beijing Commune (Chinese: 北京公社) is a China-based gallery, mainly featuring emerging artists' exhibitions.
Commercial Gallery
Beijing Commune, located in the southern side of 798 Art Zone, was developed in 2004 by Leng Lin. It's a professional art gallery which exhibits and promotes Chinese contemporary art. It includes two exhibition halls, 17.5m x 9.5m and 10.95m x 7.06m large respectively.
An active art space, Beijing Commune has showcased miscellaneous artworks of both established and emerging Chinese artists, inclusive of painting, sculpture, video and photography, in an attempt to introduce the significant values of Chinese contemporary art to the world by means of regular shows and publishing catalogues.
Since its very beginning, Beijing Commune has received massive attentions in both domestic and international art scenes. Song Dong, as one of the established artists, was invited to hold a solo project at MoMA, New York City in 2009. Yin Xiuzhen, whose first exhibition‘Collective Subconscious’kicked off in 2007, were the second Chinese artists to be included in MoMA's ‘Projects’in 2010.
In recent years, the gallery focuses upon discovering potential artists of the younger generation. In 2010, video works of Ma Qiusha (b. 1982) and Zhao Yao (b. 1981) were shown at Tate Modern for "No Soul for Sale" festival, while Liang Yuanwei was one of the representative artists to join in the China Pavilion of the 54th Venice Biennale in 2011. Moreover, Hu Xiaoyuan (b. 1977) took part in group exhibition "THE UNGOVERNABLES-2012” of New Museum in 2012.
