Don Gallery is a contemporary art gallery in Shanghai showcasing both emerging and established Chinese artists. Since being founded in 2007, Don Gallery has championed the careers of artists who are contributing to the way Chinese contemporary art was presented. In the past few years, it built one of the most dynamic experimental platforms in the city for emerging and new talents to develop their evolving practice and wide-ranging potential, which was largely defined by the charm of the historical building Blackstone Apartments with classical decorative motifs and eclectic revival styles, constantly providing “meta-theatrical” conditions for the making of exhibitions that nurtured the artists' thinking upon space. Don Gallery now at the art hub of West Bund embracing a more expansive field. It endeavours to take an initiative on curatorial innovation and accommodate a promising configuration of international artists, yet continues to support an important generation of Chinese artists in collaboration with various institutions.
