My Living Room celebrates Red Gate Gallery's 25th anniversary by drawing from works collected by its founder, Brian Wallace, over his last 30 years in Beijing.

Between the red columns of the Dongbianmen Watchtower Wallace and guest curators will 're-create' his apartment's living room with contemporary art from his mostly Chinese collection, but also with work by artists from around the world, many of whom have been on Red Gate's Artist-in-Residence program.

Up to twelve rooms will be filled with sculpture, photography, installation, light and moving images, painting and printmaking. Notions such as language, mobility, nationality, aspiration, identity and apprehension will be explored through the multifarious styles in the collection.

Works by some of the stars of contemporary Chinese art such as Su Xinping, Wang Yuping, Liu Qinghe, Sheng Qi, Shen Ling, Gonkar Gyatso, Zhang Dali, Qi Zhilong and over 60 other artists will help the audience reflect on the tremendous changes which Wallace has witnessed over the past three decades. Other works by younger, lesser known artists will describe the emergence of a second generation, bringing a more global attitude to contemporary China. Importantly there are also many works by international artists who have been influenced by their interactions with China.
