This is a bad luck that my first work is lost. During the Economic Crisis all round the world, Chinese contemporary art is badly hit by it including my work in art gallery. Although my gallery is a high-grade one in China still missing by this crisis. It`s a district that I love and hope but now I think I should sum up my work and experiences.
When I was a university student, I just like every guy in schoolyard for studying and daily life. What a nice time, what a good luck, I had a chance to work in the gallery when it`s the second year since I got into the university and the work was about contemporary art. Although my department in the school was Art Design, I still felt strange about my new and first cause I was afraid that I cannot do it well. My English is well in my view so at the gallery my first task was being a translator for some information and passages about artists and art exhibitions. During the summer time in the year 2007, I just worked for almost three art exhibition planning including oil on canvas and sculptures. A young Chinese artist named Zhu Yu held his Solo Exhibition named "Leftover" in my gallery, Zhu was famous for his performance art but at that time he showed his oil paintings, he uesd photo-realist method for leftovers and displayed his spirit. I also helped an exhibition on contemporary sculpture after the "Leftover" at that summer.
What a wonderful year that both for my motherland and me. Cause of the Olympiad, our motherland won the honor and pride. For me the year 2008 was a very important year about my work. It was also a summer time in Beijing and in my gallery, I did more in exhibitions planning not only just for translation but designed how to do with good exhibitons in detail. During this period, about three art exhibitions were holden by my colleagues and me including a collective exhibition. On Sept. the second, the ShContemporary Office held a big party named "Beijing Night" in my gallery. Many artists、critics and curators got together to share a wonderful night. As a co-organizer, we did it well in my perspective.
The Chinese contemporary art is more and more important and attented by world. And ShContemporary the Asia Pacific art fair is a good and significant art fair in China and even in Asia. It`s the second time that my gallery went to Shanghai for it and for me it`s my initial participation in it. And I recieved a new task that I would help a young Thailand artist named Dearborn K. Mendhaka for her collective exhibition of the program named "Best of Discovery". Cause lack of guys in my gallery, I had to do it by myself and finally before the VIP Night, I got it. God blessed me and I improved more. It`s my first time joined in the international art exhibition and a wonderful experience that I will never forget.
Now all the things have passed and life still goes on. Altough the Economic Crisis is harm to my career and let me lose a chance to work after I graduate from the university. What a pity but another new perspective for me in my view. Both the contemporary art and me should face to the reality by optimistic ways and find a new start and herizon for my career, I believe. And I trust that God is always with us to share my happiness and frustration and bless my colleagues and me for a good future.
