Pearl Lam Galleries Ideology

Pearl Lam Fine Art

Introduction

Pearl Lam Galleries is owned and directed by Pearl Lam. It was initially founded as Contrasts Galleries in Hong Kong in 1992. There are currently three different galleries spaces: two spaces in Shanghai: A Fine Art Galleries and special projects space; and the recently launched galleries in Hong Kong. Pearl Lam Galleries will also open a new Design galleries in Shanghai and a major space at Gillman Barracks in Singapore in 2013.

Ideology

Founded by Pearl Lam, the Galleries' mission is to stimulate cross-cultural dialogue and cultural exchange between East and West by establishing distinct and rigorous programming in each of its galleries spaces in Hong Kong, Shanghai and the forthcoming Singapore galleries.

Pearl Lam Galleries has evolved from the philosophy of Chinese literati to advocate the revaluation of Chinese aesthetics while working in divergent traditions and across multiple disciplines. It is dedicated to championing Chinese artists who re-evaluate the philosophy and perception of Chinese contemporary art, whilst also committed to presenting major exhibitions by international artists. The galleries have shown Jim Lambie, Zhu Jinshi and Entang Wiharso so far; with Jenny Holzer and Yinka Shonibare soon to be exhibited later in 2013.

Pearl Lam Design shows works by established and emerging international designers including André Dubreuil, Maarten Baas, Mattia Bonetti, and Studio Makkink & Bey. They are invited to push the boundaries of traditional Chinese art and craft techniques and create new works that reflect their experiences in China.
