Initiated in September 2021, Longlati Writers’ Acquisition Committee, Shanghai, is formed by four Shanghai-based writers, Jenny Chen, Zian Chen, Suchao Li, Evonne Jiawei Yuan, who are actively involved in the local art scene. It aims to promote the intellectual exchange between writers and emerging artists. They will organize monthly visits to gallery and museum exhibitions in Shanghai, conduct research into the works and develop acquisition proposals. Each of them will nominate artists and evaluate each other’s opinions, then make votes to make new additions to the Collection of Longlati Foundation every month.

Longlati Foundation envisions the establishing of its space as a practice, thus seeking to facilitate more communication, collaboration and production for a wider understanding of art. Besides exhibitions and related events, Longlati Artist-in- Residence Program will propose one young talent each year to join its annual studio-based residency.

Longlati写作计划旨在围绕Longlati收藏与赞助计划三大脉络进行深入的研究和梳理，多维度地呈现这些主题之下丰富的历史叙事、艺术实践与社会文化景观。在此过程中，我们邀请活跃在当代艺术界的写作者、策展人、艺术家参与其中，通过每月文字产出的方式，建构起以Longlati基金会收藏体系为核心的艺术文献和研究基础。

 

Longlati基金会自成立以来一直支持着当代艺术写作。Longlati将自身收藏视作为写作者提供的研究基建，希望写作者能够在其收藏脉络之内外整合并梳理出更多观点与思考，通过文字生产深入展现相关主题的多元叙事，共同建构不同以往的文化景观与社会实践，并进行更多推演。
