The tenth anniversary of Being 3 Gallery is commemorated with the exhibition, "There is a painting on the wall", including: church space Yang Wei's special art project; three-storey lunar space Huang He's Solo Exhibition "Slow Time"; second storey of Warehouse One "Pure Supremacy" ink-wash painting group exhibition; Warehouse One first storey Shivani's solo exhibition, "Time Unseen"; as well as group exhibition at Warehouse One. These exhibitions demonstrate our brilliant artists' observation and thinking on the culture, politics, and life of their time and land, and their efforts to explore artistic concepts. This structure said much about the value, political and economic exploration, communication and effort of Being 3 Galley over the past decade.
I am very honored to have solo exhibition artists, Yang Wei, Huang He, Shivani; esteemed scholar Wang Chunchen to host the group exhibition, and group exhibition artists Wei Ligang, Ji Zi, Lan Zhenghui, Zhang Chaohui, Zhu Xiaodi, Chen Danyang, Lv Peng, Jin Sha, Su Rui, Zhou Changyong, Ke Huang, Huang Penghui, Tang Nannan, Zhong Biao, Burkhard Von Harder, Lisa Sisters, Venus, Pierre. I am deeply honored to have them here to celebrate this anniversary of Being 3 Gallery.
At the same time, I am also very lucky to be trusted with the works of the most important contemporary Chinese artists: Ai Weiwei, Li Zhanyang, Ren Hongwei, Feng Ling, Yuval, Gao Runsheng, Li Wenfeng, Huang He, Liu Jiahua, Hua Qing, Andrea, Wang Pei Li , Yu Ying, He Yongjun, Ma Xiongdi, Deng Ying, Gao Siye, Liu Lining, Liu Yi, Jiang Zheng, Huang Min, Ma Ding, Wang Gang, Liu Zhengyong, Charlotte, Katarina Belkina, Li Riwei, Jiukou Zouzhao, Wang He , Lin Jianfeng, with their most important and most loved works by collectors and the general public. With all these works, tonight, Being 3 Gallery becomes poetic and dreamy.
I am also very happy to have my mentor Sandro Orlandi, and his brilliant partner, Mr. Paolo. Sandro Orlandi is a renowned Italian scholar, curator of the Venice Biennale, chief curator of China-Italy Biennale. I am delighted to have with us famous critic, scholar, philosopher Wang Chunchen, , Gao Ling, Gao Runxi, Wei Xing, Su Lei, Zhou Lian, Liu Yu, Liu Chang, Liu xia, Chen Xiaobo, Wang Peng, Yang Chunwei, great poet Shu Cai, Zhang Yu. The presence of you, the most renowned scholars and poets from both home and abroad, witnesses the effort and history of Being 3 Gallery in the past ten years, its work in holding three times consecutively China-Italy Contemporary Art Biennale, and you will also act as a mirror of reflection and value for future.
Most of my friends have become collectors of works in my gallery. They trust my view and judgment, and have consistently supported the gallery. In the past decade, collectors in Beijing always showed up at the openings of exhibitions. Collectors from Qingdao are our most loyal collectors, collecting works from the beginning of this gallery. Once a collector from Chongqing was too busy to travel to Beijing. He decided to collect a work by just looking at the photo. Your trust is my Nobel Prize. I am thankful from the deepest part of my heart to have you with us. Collectors from Shunde sponsored the first China-Italy Biennale. Collectors from Shenzhen sponsored the 55th Venice Biennale. Collectors from London, seeing the enjoyment and profit in collecting works from Being 3 Gallery, traveled to Beijing every year end to collect our works. Maserati collectors and New York collectors buy in a forthright manner. Our collector group is so extensive that we also have collectors from Mexico, and Ph.D. candidates of painting history. We feel that, in the past decade, the history of art is also a history of collection. This glorious tradition since the Renaissance has been inherited by our wise and discerning collectors of Being 3 Gallery. Collectors of Being 3 Gallery have deep love for the truth, the good, and the beautiful. They have foresight for culture. Collectors, Artists, and Gallery, they create value for each other and succeed together. Today, with the development of Internet technology, standing in front of favorite works, we can scan the QR code to quickly check the work information. To appreciate and collect works have become very convenient.
I would like to express my sincere thanks to the artists who exhibited in our gallery and participated in the China-Italy Biennale. The list of names includes Lin Yuguang, Ma Jun, Wu Yuren, Cang Xin, Shao Yan, Sui Jianguo, Yu Youhan, Zhang Huan, Qiu Zhijie, Chen Wenling, Feng Zhengjie , Shi Guorui, Fan Bo, balcony Group, Meng Huang, Kang Yu, Qiu Yuwen, Lu Jinsheng, Gao Xiaofei, Li Di, Wang Zheng, Yang Yuanyuan, Liu Yijun, Wang Yu, Tianye, Hu Peixia, as well as poet and artist Yan Li. The list can go on and on. Thank you, the past decade, we created a beautiful world together. Being 3 Gallery hosted 60-year-old academic birthday celebration for Mr. Chen Jiaying, China's most famous philosopher and a friend of mine. In that celebration, we were honored to have famous philosopher Sun Zhouxing, Ni Liangkang, Chen Anying, the couple of Zhou Lian and Liu Yu, Liu Chang, Lu Ding. The close contacts and communications of them has turned them into the lighthouse of Being 3 Gallery. The dinner we hosted for Syrian poet Adonis brought us to a poetic dwelling. The singing of Poet Shu Cai, translator Xue Qingguo, Syrian architect Gaolong, Iranian minstrel, made us feel the charm of Arab civilization. Springer, the world's leading publishing company based in Germany, was the sponsoring publishing company of China-Italy Biennale and contemporary Chinese ink painting exhibition. Culture and value, they are the consistent tradition of Being 3 Gallery. We are proud of the tradition.
Raman Schlemmer, the European cultural leader of Being 3 Gallery, is the grandson of the Bauhaus master Oscar Schlemmer. Raman leads us into the view of Art Basel, to extensive network and technical guidance. Spanish Artist Endowment Foundation also brings Being 3 Gallery richer European exhibition lines and collectors resources, and they are our teachers and close friends.
In the present world, the boundaries of art, life and other areas are being blurred. Human mind's creation is as vast as the sky with the many bright stars. I'm very honored to have with us famous architect group Zhu Xiaodi, Ma Xiaowei, Ke Wei, etc. I'm looking forward to Artist He Yongjun's work at the Beijing Plastic Factory #3 Culture Center of Being 3 Gallery. It will provide new variables and experiments for the future.
The lady besides me, Ms. Wang, my colleague, you are all familiar with her. She worked around the clock on various kinds of international shipments, so that our art treasures can earn their fame in all parts of the world. Ms. Liu, my close friend, shared weal and woe with me, and we grew together. My beloved niece, Bao Xi'er, worked here after getting her Ph.D. at Queen's University of UK, adding more precision and professionalism to our gallery. Xiao Ming, our designer, provides us with excellent exhibition and catalogue design again and again. The old and new colleagues at Being 3 Gallery worked very hard for the future, for our artists, and for collectors.
The ten years of Being 3 Gallery have created value. All my friends have a painting on the wall, establishing a cultural tradition that can be inherited. Our life, in this way, is sheltered, and at the same time, deep suspected. Because of this, the arrow of future has been shot. Just like the epiphany in the Cathedral work of young artist Yang Wei, new cognitive mode, consciousness, and perception, are standing in the future to welcome, and to challenge us. Being 3 Gallery fills passion into the future world.
Finally, I would bow a great thanks to my partners, Xiaofeng, lawyer Xu Meng, Shao Qing who is currently in the US, Chaoyang District Cultural Committee and the Administrative Commission of 798 District, leaders and staff of Beijing Plastic Factory #3, my art fund partner groups, LongDuoNuoBU Lama, my ex-husband and founder of Being 3 Gallery; Wang Conghui, my close friend, industry expert, and founder of Being 3 Gallery; Cheng Guoqin, solo exhibition curator, we have known each other since childhood; Man Kaihui, my good friend and famous jewelry designer; Owner of See plus Gallery, a good friend in the industry; May, owner of Pangguan Book Store; Yang Hong Customized Clothing Store, my family, my parents, my elder brother and sister, two little nieces. You made Being 3 Gallery a worldly well known gallery, and paved its way into cultural history. It is becoming a reality.
Thank you all.
