ifagallery is located in Shanghai and is divided over two spaces. Both embody the primary principle of gallery, which is freedom; the kind of freedom that gives breathing space to different expressions and media within contemporary art.
The first space was established in 2006 in Moganshan Road, popularly known as m50. m50 is a former textile factory in the north west of Shanghai, which became the first and most dynamic art district in Shanghai. Major galleries and art spaces starting appearing there as of early 2000.
The second ifagallery space opened in the summer of 2008, in changde road, closer to center of town on the north western edge of the former British concession. It is housed in an elegant former concession 1923 mansion, creating a challenging stylistic and historical contrast for the art that will reside in it.
ifagallery has been promoting young and independent artists since its creation and has always been willing to showcase young talents. At the same time it believes in combining this mission with due attention given to the more established artists who have been the very makers of contemporary art history in China. |
