art galleries in guangzhou: 2) vitamin creative space

Probably the most important Gallery, represented on the most important Art Fairs all over the world, is the Vitamin Space, located next to a (vegetable) market!

Vitamin
Vitamins are essential for life, Vitamin Creative Space views contemporary art as the vitamin which keeps our life and society open.

Space
It is a Space of physical and spiritual unity: the "Space" has been developing by the non-stop explorations within the transforming Chinese context, practically and theoretically.

Creative
Life is a process of endless movement and extension.The activities happening in this Space are constantly connected with the floating energies from life.

Vitamin Creative Space is exploring an alternative working mode, specifically geared to the contemporary Chinese context. In order to operate independently from institutionalized funding, it is active both as an "independent" art space and as a "commercial" gallery. Vitamin Creative Space is actively challenging the preconception by merging these two, which traditionally are opposed strategies for supporting and presenting contemporary art, raising the searching of new Chinese contributions both from artistic practice level and institutional level within the new global context.
