Shanghai Zendai Museum of Modern Art is a young and ambitious museum, established by the Shanghai Zendai Group. Its goal is not only to exhibit orginal art works but also to encourage academic debate and to ignore the traditional definitions of what an art museum is supposed to represent. The museum is located at the Thumb Plaza in Pudong New Area, and has an exhibition space of more than 1500 square meters. The collection is diverse, including the sculptures Thumb from French artist Cesar, Love from American artist Robert Indiana, Figure 1983 from Danish artist Per Kirkeby as well as an extensive collection of contemporary Chinese art. The museum wants to do more then just organize exhibitions, it wants to support academic research and offer artists, curators and the public a place where ideas can be exchanged and where there is room for debate.

Shanghai Zendai Museum of Modern Art consists of several departments who have their own specific program but who work closely together. There is an Exhibition Department, a Media Department, an Education Department, a Business Development Department and a Support Services Department, which are all united under the Director’s Office.

In the rapidly changing Chinese art scene there seems to be a strong need for academic support. It is here that Zendai Moma feels it can make an important contribution. Local artists are encouraged to participate in all different kinds of projects. Not only does the museum actively supports its local cultural network, at the same time it reaches out to the international art scene by cooperating with foreign artists, curators and institutes.

By creating an open and welcoming environment, the Zendai MoMA wishes to support and stimulate a new generation of people who can add a new and original chapter to China’s contemporary culture.


【Exhibitions】

With our exhibitions we want to help build contemporary Chinese culture. Supported by academic research, we present original contemporary art, from both local and foreign artists.

【Education】

Instead of active teaching and passive receiving, we try to create a powerful relationship between the public and the arts through interaction and communication .
The Zendai MoMA presents several educational activities, creating opportunities for the public to get to know art in the hope that they will gain a valuable insight into the contemporary art world. Zendai MoMA introduces visitors and volunteers to the richly varied world of modern art through guided walks, art workshops, film screenings and educational programs. By creating a pleasant learning experience and approaching art in such a way that people of all ages and backgrounds can understand it, Zendai MoMA wants to give the public a chance to discover and enjoy the many different aspects that art has to offer.
The China Academy of Fine Arts -CAFA- in Beijing and the Zendai MoMA collaborated in establishing the East China Education Centre for Art Management and a Master Program in ‘Art Investment and Collection Management’. This program aims to train future art dealers, curators and managers in cultural and creative industries, as well as future art directors .

【Point to Life Zendai Art Bookshop】

Experience our extensive collection of books, and share our desire for knowledge.

【Zendai Art Gifts】

Architectures show a city’s development; design shows a person’s taste; Zendai art gifts inspire our tedious life.

【Art Activities】

Avant-guard is never a self-important campaign of a small group of people. When you are involved in it, even just as an audience, you will find that it is the vibration from groups of people.
With a vision of avant-guard, Zendai Museum of Modern Art is interested in all art forms and brings the public to scenes they have never been in.

【Art Bank】

The power of youth needs some space to explode.
Zendai MoMA is the first art museum in China to put an art bank into practice. It serves as a platform where young Chinese artists can show and share their work with a broader public. It wants to offer artists a place where they can experiment and where they feel encouraged to explore their creative boundaries. By setting up smaller exhibitions the Art Bank gives the artists a chance to promote their art while at the same time giving the public an opportunity to collect the art works. Not only local artists are invited to participate but projects by foreign artist are also welcomed. All different kinds of art works are accepted: from video, installation, photography work, literature readings and film screenings to music and drama performances.
