为什么要办这个十周年答谢晚宴?因为在3画廊百周年庆典的时候,我们在场的人可能都已经不在了。

需要感谢很多人,感谢我的合伙人、我的年轻的同事们,艺术家、收藏家……在艺术上我们没有太多的传统,我希望我们一起建立传统。

世界上总在发生一些令人不安的事情,我们大多数人都会同意,墙上有一幅画会让我们的精神有所依靠,心安下来,陀思妥耶夫斯基说,美,能拯救世界。在如此众多的信与不信之中,我更想说,美,能通过拯救我们的心灵去拯救世界。

在3画廊在未来十年有一个野心勃勃的想法,就是让我们的朋友们能尽可能多地看到世界上最了不起的艺术。

我非常荣幸地在这个地方,塑料三厂,除了有在3画廊这个博物馆级别的艺术空间继续展览国内外优秀艺术家的作品,我们还将在这里持续中国意大利当代艺术,并会陆续把意大利、欧洲和世界各地顶级的美术馆馆长请来,呈现现代主义时期以来的最优秀的艺术;我们的艺术仓库将为大家准备好近千件优秀作品以供收藏和展览;旁边的三层月亮,将定期举办艺术家、批评家和收藏家晚宴进行各种艺术交流活动。

从明年春天开始,我们在当代艺术最核心的地带-纽约的哈德森河谷将创办一家规模超过6千平米的艺术中心,那里将成为各位在美国东海岸的文化家园;

我们意大利的合伙人也正在世界艺术热土威尼斯,在工业革命时期的老发电厂的地基上建设一座现代化的美术馆,欢迎大家关注我们即将出台的众筹方案。

艺术史是艺术事件史,更是艺术市场史,无事发生在市场之外。我们期待后人能以这样的话语谈论我们:这些老家伙们,眼界够宽,谋略够远,审美够高,还算给留了点真正可称为财富的东西。

Some of you may want to know: Why do we host this appreciation dinner of the 10 years anniversary? That’s because by the time of the centennial celebration of Being3 Gallery, most of us present today will have passed away already.

I feel so grateful for many people, my partner, my young colleagues, our artists and collectors... We don't have too many traditions in art, and I hope we could establish this together in the future.

As we all know, there are troubling things happening in this world all days. Most of us would agree that if there is a painting, which our spirit can depend on, hanging on the wall, our mind would be well settled down. Just as Dostoevsky once said, beauty saves the world. Among so many kinds of trust and distrust, I want to say that beauty will save the world through rescuing our souls.

In addition, our Bing3 Gallery has a very ambitious idea over the next decade, and that is to exhibit the greatest art in the world as much as possible to our friends.

I’m so glad to tell you that in this place, No.3 Plastic Factory, in addition to exhibiting artworks from excellent domestic and overseas artists, we will continue to hold China-Italy Biennale of Contemporary Art in this museum-level art space of Being 3 Gallery. What’s more, we are going to invite the directors from Italy, Europe and even the world's top art museums successively, which will bring us the best art ever since the period of modernism. In addition, our art-warehouse have gotten nearly a thousand pieces of excellent works ready for your viewing and collection, and our three-layers-moon art space will hold dinner salons for artists, critics and collectors to communicate with each other regularly in the future.

Starting from next spring, we are going to set up an art center, whose scale is more than 6000 square meters, in the New York's Hudson River valley known as the core zone of the contemporary art, and there will be the spiritual and cultural homeland for us all in the east coast of the United States.

At the same time, our partner from Italy is setting about a modern art gallery in the art hot-spot Venice, where used to be an old power plant during the period of industrial revolution. Stay tuned as our raise plan is coming out.

The art history, is a history of art events as well as market. Nothing could happen out of the market. So we would look forward to the later comments about us comes out this way: Those old guys, with broad horizon, ambitious pursuit and good taste, leaves us quite some real wealth.
