Meet Antenna Space

"I think our art is definitely weird, kind of sexy, and empathetically compatible.” –&nbsp;Simon Wang, founder of Antenna Space Gallery<div>When Simon Wang opened his Shanghai gallery in 2013, he saw the city as a “crazily dynamic, giant arts platform” whose people were "ready for new art." Located in the M50 Art District, a former textile factory that now houses over 120 art galleries and studios, Antenna Space is tucked away behind several high-rise residential buildings near the Wusong River. Simon likens his space to an antenna as it aims to materialize its artists’ desires and artistic ideas into projects and exhibits.In an attempt to continue bringing new art to Shanghai, Wang typically exhibits works by young to mid-career artists working in different mediums including painting, video, and most often sculpture.During Art Basel in Miami Beach, Antenna Space will exhibit a series of new sculptures and typography wall works by artist Xu Qu.&nbsp;</div>
