Platform China Contemporary Art Institute is a multi-functional art gallery whose activities are recognized for supporting emerging Chinese and international artists established in Beijing in 2005 and Hong Kong in 2012. Occupying a total of 1,500 sq. in Caochangdi Artist Village, Beijing, Platform China includes exhibition and project spaces as well as international residency studios, and regularly exhibits a variety of experimental and avant-garde projects, ranging from visual arts to performance, video installation, music and architecture. In May 2012, Platform China launched a second branch in Hong Kong whose activities evolve around the format of an art salon/project space in order to present and promote an alternative way of exhibiting art and further develop a platform for international dialogue and cultural exchange. Platform China is a bridge between art and audience that discovers, creates and encourages new and unique forms of communication. As one of the few pioneering art spaces in China that focuses primarily on young and promising artists, Platform China has participated in many significant international art exhibitions and art fairs among which The Thirteen: Chinese Video Now presented in collaboration with PS1 Contemporary Arts Center in 2006, Frieze Art Fair, Liste The Young Art Fair, Art Basel Hong Kong, Art Dubai, Art Taipei, and the Armory Show.
