Welcome to stage候台BACK an art space from an artist for artists In Shanghai China

December 11, 2008

April 19 2008 - December 10 2008 -A lot to catch up! 多要趕上!

2008 was the birth year of stage候台BACK Shanghai, an artspace from an artist for artists. The first event happened on April 19th 2009 together with the yearly "open door" event at 696 Weihai Lu.
I wrote back then:
I proudly announce the opening of stage候台BACK gallery, a space from an artist for artists in Shanghai, China.We had our #0 opening last Saturday and it was a big success, thanks to all of you who came by.
And:
The idea to open an art space blossomed in the fall of 2007 with the wish to be a part of Shanghais fast growing urban culture. Especially in our days, cultural and intellectual exchange between the West and the East are of great importance.This is what this space stands for: FREEDOM - ART - PARTY.

stage候台BACK decided to go "online" on December 10 2008, finally!

亲爱的朋友们,
我荣幸的向你们宣布一个好消息:“候台”艺术廊,作为上海一个面向艺术家们的全新艺术空间已正式对外开放。上周六举办的开幕会取得了很大成功,特别感谢各位的到场支持。
我在上海创办一个艺术空间的想法始于2007年秋,当时的愿望就是能有幸融入上海迅速发展的城市文化。在当今社会,东西方的文化交流和思想碰撞显得尤为重要。这个艺术空间创办的理念正代表了这种潮流:自由-艺术-聚会 “候台”坐落于威海路696号,曾是一个广为人知的鸦片烟窟,艺术家占用了这座位于市中心的仓储进行创作。之后,个人空间开始逐渐修缮起来,一个个小艺术工作室如雨后春笋般不断涌现,我们也在通过加大投资为我们的工作室和爱好艺术的来访者不断改善环境。现今已有约40个艺术工作室和画廊正式入驻威海路696号。

Introduction

stage候台BACK is an art space from an artist for artists and was founded by German artist Susanne Junker in April 2008 in Shanghai, China. Susanne has been traveling to China for the last past 5 years and observed the growing urban culture in Shanghai as well as the fast forward moving Chinese art scene. Her believe is grounded in cultural and intellectual exchange between the East and the West, which can offer new territories and outlooks for both sides.

Apart from the great importance of education, the program concentrates on knowledgeable discoveries as well as surprising, even shocking displays to create strong reactions from the visiting audience. Reaching the status of difference in selection and presentation is one of the goals to achieve in China on many levels.
stage候台BACK makes its first steps towards individuality in art and culture.

stage候台BACK will collaborate with artists of all mediums from abroad as well as local based artists. Cultural institutions should have their place at stage候台BACK as well as private owned galleries who are looking for an exchange.

stage候台BACK is located in the center of Shanghai in "the newish underground artist enclave at 696 Weihai Lu", an old building that at one time was an opium den build in the 30ties of last century and most recently an auto parts warehouse. About 40 artist studios are located in 696 Weihai Lu as well as a handful new and emerging galleries.

stage候台BACK is looking forward to up and coming projects spreading until spring 2009 that includes artists from Germany, France and Cameron and further on the collaboration between stage候台BACK and TEAPOT Gallery from Cologne/ Germany.

画廊简介:

2008年四月,德国艺术家 Susanne Junker 在中国上海创立stage候台BACK,这是她用一人之力开创给众多艺术家的艺术空间。
在近五年的时间里,Susanne一直在中国各地游历,亲睹了上海城市文化的兴起,并深刻地体会到中国艺术场所的快速发展。
她坚信中外文艺的交融会为东西方世界认知拓展更宽的领域,并带来新的前景。
没有更多的说教,我们更关注对知识的发现,同时努力推出惊奇的、甚至令人震撼的作品,以此激起观众的强烈反响。我们追求的目标之一,就是要实现选材和展示的多样化,让中国各阶层获得对艺术的理解。
stage候台BACK向文化与艺术的个性化迈出了第一步。
stage候台BACK愿意与来自国外和本土的不同流派的艺术家共同合作。stage候台BACK不仅可以为文化社团提供展示的场所,同时也可以为私人画廊创造交流的通道。
stage候台BACK 坐落于上海的中心“威海路696号新式地下艺术家的聚居区”,这里曾经是上世纪30年代加工海洛因的工厂,近代又成为了存储汽车配件的库房。威海路696号,不仅有近40个艺术画廊选址于此,还有更多新兴的画室定址这里。
stage候台BACK希望在2009年春天之前有更多的德国,法国,卡梅隆的艺术家会在我处展出更多富有活力的作品,并希望架起同德国科隆的TEAPOT(茶壶)画廊合作的桥梁。
