Founded in 2012, Space Regeneration Projects (SRP) is a non-profit art organization focusing on executing art practices and exhibitions in alternative space. The SRP is based in Tianjin, China, and is operated by a group of young curators and artists. Adopting cross-disciplinary group shows of ruins as its major program, SRP has also initiated two sub-programs, the “Jianshan Project” focusing on s
olo shows at the Jianshan demolishing site and “Home Art” introducing art practices into everyday life, and has collaborated with other organizations as well. Generally, the objectives of SRP are to furnish unconventional exhibition spaces by means of art with new meanings, to explore possibilities of art making and displaying in non-white cube spaces, and to study the values of found space* through conducting site-specific exhibitions in different cities and places to encourage cross-boundary collaborations. In the meantime, SRP pays special attention to academic communications by launching a series of academic events and research alongside its exhibitions. It also attempts to establish a platform between artists and the general public and is dedicated to stimulating society in this sense.
*Found space is a derivation of found object (objet trouvé), and it refers to ready-made spaces that were originally built for non-art purposes.
