Chill

in Beijing

The end of 2019 is upon us. The temperatures outside are getting colder and colder. Instead of staring at the grey sky, why not pay a visit to these tasteful art museums?

2019的尾声啦,天气也越来越冷。与其无聊地看着清冷的天,还不如一起打卡各种艺术展馆呢!

Christmas is coming to town, but the exhibitions won’t come to an end. With a short trip downtown, you can enjoy artwork from all over the world, including Mexico, Argentina, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Uruguay.

展览在圣诞期间也不闭馆,并且离得也不远就可以享受到包括墨西哥、阿根廷、美利坚、英吉利和乌拉圭等国家的艺术品。

The Red Brick Art Museum’s facilities cover a total area of 20,000 square meters, nearly 10,000 square meters of which are exhibition space. Employing red bricks as a basic architectural material, Professor Dong maintained the integrity of each brick to create a unique architectural design language that isolates the museum and garden from the city’s restless atmosphere.

红砖艺术馆设施总面积2万平方米,其中展厅面积近万平方米。董教授以红砖为基本建筑材料,保持每一块砖的完整性,创造出独特的建筑设计语言,将博物馆、花园与城市不安定的氛围隔开。

Founded in 2014, the two collectors Lin Han and Wanwan Lei are the masterminds behind this museum. In 2015, M WOODS received its official not-for-profit status in China as an acknowledgement of its cultural services to the public. The museum presents new and historical work by both Chinese and international artists, often those who have rarely or never had a solo exhibition in a Beijing institution. Remaining dynamic and experimental, at the core of M WOODS is the idea that art should be ‘Free, Alchemical, and Timeless’ (FAT).

 

木木美术馆是由收藏家林瀚、雷宛萤夫妇共同创立的民营非营利艺术机构。博物馆展出了中国和国际艺术家的新作品和历史作品,通常是那些很少或从未在北京机构举办过个展的艺术家。保持活力和实验性,“FAT”是木木美术馆展览和收藏的新理念,即‘自由的,炼金术般的,和无时间的”。
