Taikang Space

Taikang Space is a non-profit art institution devoted to the collection, exhibition, research, and promotion of Chinese contemporary art. It was founded by Taikang Life Insurance Co., Ltd. in 2003, and has received long-term support from the company. In 2009, Taikang Space relocated from the 798 Art District to Caochangdi, an art village in northeastern Beijing, where it remains today. Over the fifteen years of operation, Taking Space has gradually developed its academic concept: under the rubric of “retrospection and encouragement”, it aims to investigate historical material about art from a contemporary perspective, while maintaining a simultaneous concern with nuanced art practices that point towards the future.
