Mommy Foundation
(A foundation for supporting young Chinese artists and projects)
The Mommy Foundation is a project initiated by Biljana Ciric, an independent curator based in Shanghai. The foundation will function as a bridge between artists and the board members, who will work on a voluntary basis, helping to organize matters relating to the foundation and it’s activities.
The Mommy Foundation will be the first foundation of this kind in China that supports young and emerging artists and their projects. The foundation will be established thanks to support from institutions, galleries and individual donors in China and abroad, starting with Shanghai.
All galleries and institutions that support the foundation will become members of the board and will participate in the selection process of projects for the annual grant.
Mission of Foundation:
The mission of the foundation is to aid in the development of artistic practices at an early stage in an artist’s career, while also introducing them to the application procedures that will be important throughout their career. At the same time, the foundation attempts to create a healthier artistic climate within the contemporary art field through the support of different curatorial and artistic approaches that will, in time, contribute to the local art infrastructure.
Board members (i.e. supporters of the foundation) will have the opportunity through participation in the foundation to get to know artists at an early stage in their careers and follow the development of their practices over time.
Foundation trustees and donors: Ke Center for the Contemporary Arts, Ddm Warehouse, CANART Institute of the Contemporary Arts, Le Vant Art Gallery, Martin Strobel and other Anonymous Donors
