With a strong focus on artistic content, Shcontemporary 2009 will launch an important initiative that engages with emerging collectors from the region.

DISCOVERIES, a curated exhibition to showcase works by some of the most significant artists who came to international attention during these past two decades as well as some of the most promising emerging art in a spectacular 2000m2 arched hall; and a forum of international experts to address, through a series of public lectures and round tables, the urgent question being currently discussed throughout the centers of international art world: What precisely is Contemporary Art•
The exhibition is curated by Anton Vidokle, Mami Kataoka, Wang Jianwei, and the lecture series is organized by Anton Vidokle, with guest speakers including Boris Groys, Gao Shiming, Jan Verwoert, Carol Yinghua Lu, Hu Fang, Joerg Heiser, among many others.

The new PLATFORM section, gives galleries representing emerging artists the opportunity for exposure. Each booth will showcase a maximum of two artists presenting work produced in the last two years, introducing a fresh new generation of artists in the Asia Pacific region and beyond.
Launch of the Asia Pacific Collector Development Program
ShContemporary is the only international art fair situated in China, and as such it is best positioned to bring the knowledge and resources both inside and outside of China together. Based on its special position, “Asia Pacific Collector Development Program” has been started with two questions : how can an art fair facilitate an emerging art market• And in what way has the financial crisis created new opportunities•
This year, Shcontemporary has created a team whose sole purpose is to engage with emerging collectors in the China region and create opportunities for learning and networking for those collectors. Colin Chinnery, the fair director said: “We have resources larger than those of individual galleries or independent advisors, and we want to put these resources to use all year round instead of just the few days during an annual art fair, to create a powerful means for the stimulation of the market.”
More specifically, the Asia Pacific Collector Development Programme is engaging in the following activities:
•To create quality market research that allows us to more accurately understand the potential of the market in China.
•To create a Collectors Club that will provide networking activities for emerging Chinese collectors to meet each other and meet collectors from other countries.
•To work with independent organizations in China that are engaging with emerging collectors, and to provide them with new opportunities.
•To work with top art schools in creating learning opportunities for collectors to better engage with the art market
•To provide support to international collectors who want to engage with the China region, and to Chinese collectors who wish to engage with the wider world of contemporary art.
The Asia Pacific Collector Development Programme aims to provide the engagement this region needs to grow into a strong and stable contemporary art market.
September 9th: the Collectors Night
On the evening of September 9th, collectors will have the first-hand opportunity to view the displayed works and procure the pieces of utmost interest in the prestigious context of the renowned Shanghai Exhibition Centre.
