About KennaXu Gallery Сәнгать галереясы

KennaXu Gallery — Кытайның Шэньчжэнь шәһәрендәге иске торак микрорайонда урнашкан сәнгать галереясе. 223 квадрат метрлы бу мәйдан ике тар һәм караңгы каттан торган элеккеге торак йортан үзгәртеп корылган. Ак төс төп төс булып тора, ул экспонатланган картиналарның төсен һәм композициясен ачык күрсәтү өчен гади һәм барысын да үзенә сыйдырган фон булдыра. Материаллар арасында латекс буяу, мембрана, агач идән, ультра-чиста пыяла, ак кафель һәм ак үтә татнамаучан корыч бар. Гадәти булмаган тәрәзәләр яктылык һәм тышкы тавышларны эчкә кертеп, галереяны микрорайондагы көндәлек тормыш белән бәйли.

Design Challenge
There were also some unfavorable conditions as converting the former residence into an art space. The original space consisted of two floors, which were narrow and dim. The first floor had a low ceiling, looking like a storeroom, while the second floor featured an old-styled, disordered and fragmented spatial pattern. The overall space looked so different from an art space.
Research
The building, constructed in the 1990s within an old community, is the place where the gallery owner Kenna Xu spent his childhood. It carries his deep affection for Shenzhen, and also breeds his dream of establishing a contemporary art gallery that finds a foothold in the local area and pursues global visibility.
Inspiration
The space is dominated by white hue, which produces a modern, simplistic spatial tone as well as an inclusive backdrop that reveals the authenticity of things. It can fully display the color, composition, aesthetics and thinking of exhibited paintings. The design incorporates a sense of "emptiness" to create a free and serene ambience, with a view to enabling harmonious interaction between light and shadow, nature and artworks, and thereby achieving the beauty of art.
Project Duration
The project started in November, 2018 and finished in September, 2019 in the Intersection of Yitian Road and Fuqiang Road, Futian District, Shenzhen, China.
Operation Flow
The unique windows shake off traditional designs, and act as openings for conveying messages. Meanwhile, those structures bring in the daily chatter of residents, sounds of footsteps and birdsong from outdoor groves, which become background music for the art space. The gallery seems to grow here and closely integrates with the old community.
