Soka Art Beijing Renovation. Brand New Open !

Soka established in 2001, is the first oversea funded gallery in Beijing. 2020 will be the 20th anniversary of Soka in Beijing. After nearly a year's design and renovation, Soka will reopen in the autumn of 2020. The three-dimensional and multi angle space constructed by bright terrazzo and operated by architect Liang Chen is expected to become a representative of the exquisite space of 798 art district. Full bright white terrazzo floor, black multi-dimensional terrazzo wall and 798 Bauhaus arched roof make the overall architectural space full of philosophy and humanistic depth. Soka will bring more diversed arts and cultures to show to the audience. 

"Soka is about to enter its 20th year from the first overseas gallery in Beijing. We have witnessed the changes of contemporary art in these 20 years. At this time point, we hope to bring you a new look of Soka, and continue to move forward."

"Soka Art Beijing renovation project is located in the industrial heritage protection space of "Bauhaus" period in 798 Art District. By placing two black terrazzo walls and volumes, the functional requirements of the original space are upgraded, and a circular exhibition streamline is formed. The huge silent objects like the monument also create the recognition of exhibition space in Soka space, and become a brand-new symbol of its new space.”

- Architect/Artist, Liang Chen

With the newly upgraded architectural space, we are very honored to launch a new exhibition Spectacle, which will show the important works of five Soka artists: Hong Ling, Mao Xuhui, Zhao Meng, Zeng Jianyong and Zhang Yingnan. The works will bring audiences different visual experiences in the new Soka space. Spectacle is composed of contemporary language and culture in its own surroundings. The exhibition provides several perceptive thinkings and visual experience.
