Long March Project

Long March Project is an ongoing initiative that organizes international exhibitions and projects, community-based educational programs, and artist residencies. Conceived in 1999 by artist and curator Lu Jie, the name of the project references the Long March (1934-35) of Mao Zedong and the Red Army of the Communist Party of China. The project seeks to address the realities that face the production of contemporary Chinese art today, with a focus on the intersection of art and social engagement. After establishing the Long March Foundation in New York in 2000, the project officially began two years later when its founding members invited artists, writers, curators, theorists, activists, and others to join them in retracing the historical route of the March. Since then, the Long March Project has taken on the roles of art dealer, artist-run space, gallery, commercial enterprise, and publishing house. Long March Space has shown actively in local and international art fairs, such as ShContemporary, ArtHK, Frieze Art Fair, and Art Basel. The gallery has shown over 80 exhibitions and projects in its nine-year history.

Founded 2002 in Beijing, China.
