The City: Between the Old and the New launched Zhou Jirong at Red Gate in 1994 with the beautiful silkscreen prints of Beijing alleyways almost devoid of life and activity but for a shadow, a kite or a solitary figure. Zhou’s work over years has used the cityscape as the background for his comment on environmental and societal issues. One of those issues was how to bring art and the Chinese audience together for a public cause, and he came up with the idea of creating a calendar of contemporary prints that could be sold to raise money for a special charity.

By 2004 the public was just exploring contemporary art and so the idea of producing a high quality calendar of prints by well-known artists at a very attractive price was proposed to bring artists and art-lovers together to raise money. Eventually the Philip Hayden Foundation’s orphanage was chosen to be the beneficiary. Each calendar contained seven prints in all techniques, and an edition of 50 calendars was produced each year. In all, eight years of calendars were commissioned and they were enthusiastically sort after by the domestic and international buyers. In fact, people came back each year to buy the same edition number like me – I have all eight calendars editioned 1/50!

城市 - 新旧之间是1994年周吉荣在红门画廊推出的精美丝网版画——胡同里萧索且缺乏生机，只有斜影、独行的人和一只风筝。多年来，周吉荣的作品一直基于城市景观为原型，探讨环境和社会议题。其中的一个议题就是如何让中国的观众和艺术深入到公共事业；他想到了版画年历的创意，通过销售年历为特定的慈善机构筹款。

2004 年，当代艺术还处于社会探索中，因此这个想法吸引了很多艺术家和艺术爱好者们蜂拥而至，这些价格超值、由知名艺术家制作的高品质版画年历，筹集到很多资金。菲利浦海德基金会的孤儿院也成为真正的受益人。每本年历中都包含了7幅使用各种手法制作的版画，每年只有50版。八年的定制生产，版画年历一直都受到国内外买家的热烈追捧。

事实上，藏家们每年都会赶来收藏同样的版本号——比如我，收藏的八本年历版本号都是 1/50 ！

红门画廊伴随着中国的改革开放进程，已经走过了三十年。红门画廊的展场从北京的古观象台到中国大饭店再到东便门角楼再到今天的798画廊新址 ，三十多年来展场的场所在改变，但画廊的掌门人一直是布朗·华莱士。

我记得我在红门画廊的第一个展览是在中国大饭店的二层展出的，那也是我与画廊合作的第一次个展。随后的展览几乎都是在东便门角楼做的。三十年来，我的不同时期的作品都是在红门画廊首次亮相：从1994年最早的丝网版画作品；2002年的综合材料作品；2011年的纸浆综合材料作品；2013年的数码综合版画等等。可以说红门画廊是我的艺术实践和艺术风格转型的首秀场。

 红门画廊三十多年来不仅推出了许多优秀的艺术家，而且也推进了中国的画廊业发展，为中国画廊的国际化模式提供了很好的范例。

布朗是一位性格平和，为人低调，做事坚持的人。我们不仅在艺术展览方面有合作，也通过画廊和版画为慈善做了一些事。2002年我当时有一个想法，想利用版画的复数性特点让这种艺术形式为社会和大众做一点有益的事。找到布朗谈了我的想法，他当即答应了，然后开始联系受捐机构。最先联系的是国际艾滋病协会，因为种种原因没有谈成合作意愿。没几天，布朗给我打电话说有一家基金会可以合作，是菲利浦海德基金会廊坊孤残儿童村。很快我们与他们的项目负责人谈定了合作事宜。从此开始了我们长达八年的艺术与慈善的活动。2004年开始，我们以版画原作年历的方式，每次限量印刷五十册，每年的年底在红门画廊进行展售，所得款项然后捐赠给孤残儿童村。今天回想看来，这件有意义的事能够坚持八年之久与布朗的善心和众多的艺术家积极参与密切相关，终使这个项目得以圆满完成。

 俗语说，三十年河东，三十年河西。愿红门画廊在新的三十年东、西辉映，红门红火长久。

Red Gate Gallery has gone through 30 years with the reform and opening-up of China. Brian started organizing shows at the Ancient Observatory in Beijing 1988, and then opened the gallery in Dongbianmen in 1991, moving to China World Hotel 1993. Then back to the watchtower of Dongbianmen in 1999 and to the new site of 798 in 2017. For more than 30 years, the address has changed, but the director of the gallery has always been Mr. Brian Wallace.

I remember my first exhibition at the Red Gate Gallery was on the second floor of China World Hotel. It was my first solo exhibition with the gallery. Most of the subsequent exhibitions were held in the watchtower of Dongbianmen. In the past 30 years, my works of different periods have made their debut in Red Gate: the screen prints in 1994 are also my earliest works; mixed media on canvas works in 2002; paper pulp works in 2011; digital printmaking in 2013 and so on. It can be said that the Red Gate Gallery is always the first stage of my art practice and transformation of style.

Over the past 30 years, Red Gate Gallery has not only produced many excellent artists, but also promoted the development of China's gallery industry. It provides a good example for the internation alization of Chinese galleries.

Brian is a calm, low-key and consistent person. We not only cooperate in exhibitions, but also do something for charity through gallery and printmaking. I came up with an idea in 2002: making use of the technique of printmaking to do something useful for the society. I discussed my idea with Brian and he agreed immediately. Then we started to look for a charity. The first contact is the International AIDS Association, but for various reasons, this did not work out. A few days later, Brian called me and said that there was a foundation that could cooperate: Philip Hayden Foundation for orphaned and disabled children in Langfang, just outside of Beijing. Soon we negotiated with their project leader about cooperating and began our project of eight years. Since 2004, we printed 50 copies of a calendar with seven original prints covering all forms of printmaking. At the end of each year, we will display and sell them at Red Gate, and the proceeds were be donated to the orphanage. On reflection, this meaningful event lasted for eight years because of Brian's kindness and the active participation of many artists– it was a very worth while project!

Time brings great changes as it flew by. May the Red Gate Gallery shine in the East and West in the next 30 years, and that Red Gate remains prosperous for a long time.
