Taking the year as the axis, this book comprehensively records the history of Shun Art Gallery’s 15th-anniversary exhibitions and art activities from 2006 to 2021, from Shanghai M50 to Fuxing Space to Tokyo Space. The gallery has always been committed to the promotion and connection of Asian contemporary art. In the past 15 years, we have grown together with every artist and every audience in the independent gallery identity that is now recognized by everyone.

Shun Art Gallery moved to Fuxing Middle Road after 10 years in M50 space. we stopped for one year in between because, for personal reasons, I had an accident in South Korea that caused damage to the optic nerve of the right eye. When we restart but still keeping the same concept, we moved in french concession of shanghai. But the restart also made us realise the form could be changed, both for individuals and the entire Shun Art Gallery.

We want to change the sense of distance in a big contemporary exhibition like a huge blank box and the mood that most galleries in Shanghai are gathered in the same area. Somehow indigestible mass. These rebel thoughts brought us to the French concession, an old historic apartment space. In the past four years, more ideas have become clearer and purer here. Individuals and teams who have experienced turbulence also have more resistance and strong beliefs. Time by time, we also realize the preciousness of continuing to do what we really like.

For the all past fifteen years, each exhibition, each artist we worked with, each young artist we supported under the residency project, and each art piece of our collection, all based on the same concept that always be maintained, the concept of continuous evolution, these all things constitute our history of the past 15 years.

At this 15th anniversary, we are still experiencing COVID-19, and our daily lives have changed a lot, including our thoughts.  Perhaps each of us has been stagnant for a period of time or lost in the sense of falling and the up and down emotions. But this special period can trigger the biggest thinking movement about evolution. but still, hope that our unchanging belief is to continue to do what we really like.
