LIU WEI & AI WEIWEI Works from the Collection 07.10.11 - 31.12.11 The current show at Faurschou Foundation Beijing is the first show of works from the Faurschou Foundation collection. Thereby this exhibition is marking the transition from commercial gallery to art foundation that Faurschou has now undergone. With the establishment of Faurschou Foundation, Luise and Jens Faurschou are realizing a long-held dream of devoting all their time, skills and networks to expanding and developing their collection of contemporary art, and creating exhibitions of a high international standard. Both in Beijing and in Copenhagen, where a new exhibition space will open next year in September with a solo show by Cai Guo-Qiang. In the future the exhibitions at Faurschou Foundation in Beijing and in Copenhagen will take their starting point in the collection, and Luise and Jens Faurschou will be creating new exhibitions in collaboration with some of the best contemporary artists, curators, museums and galleries all over the world. The collection will thus be shown regularly, both in solo exhibitions of works by the artists' represented in the collection and in thematic exhibitions of works by several artists. For many years it has been the dream of Luise and Jens Faurschou to focus on the collection and its development, and the possibility of showing it. On the basis of the results and the collection created over the years, it has now become possible to realize this dream. Both exhibition spaces in Copenhagen and Beijing are based on private funding, but will be oriented towards - and open to - the general public. Currently on view at Faurschou Foundation Beijing are works from the collection by Ai Weiwei and Liu Wei. The exhibition runs through December 31. 2011.
