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.
