知美术馆位于中国成都新津老君山脚下，总建筑面积为2353平米。外形内敛、极具禅意，由国际建筑大师隈研吾设计，运用流水、瓦片等元素，使建筑与自然有机相融，空灵寂静，动静相宜，尽显生生不息、道法自然的东方哲学。美术馆VI系统由日本平面设计大师原研哉设计，由美术馆外观瓦片的元素构成，形成富有变化的水波纹样。
知美术馆旨在当代艺术的国际化语境中，探讨东方美学的过去、现在与未来。与此同时，“知” 完全是一个开放的系统，从已知朝向未知，从眼前朝向无限。因而，知美术馆还将探索人自身的灵感与高科技的融合，在新媒体艺术领域进行前沿的可能性探知。建立对艺术史的完整度和开放性具有建设性意义的收藏及策展系统。
“万物、见解、常新” 是知美术馆的核心理念。
Located at the foot of Chengdu’s Taoism Laojun Mountain in southwestern China, ZHI ART MUSEUM’s serene architecture brings to life the beauty and tranquility of Zen. An iconic work by renowned Japanese master architect, Kengo Kuma, the museum embodies the Eastern philosophy of “Learning from Nature.” With the use of water as key feature, and the exploration of natural materials throughout, the architecture organically integrates its surrounding elements harmoniously. The tranquil flow and soft movements surrounding the entirety of the museum, allow for contemplation and evoke notions of eternity through its unity with nature.
ZHI ART MUSEUM focuses to explore global contemporary art and its qualities as a force of universality, in the context of the future, present and past of Eastern aesthetics. The meaning of ZHI is to be an open concept, always striving to move from the world of the known to the unknown, and from the finite to the infinite. Within these parameters ZHI ART MUSEUM’s aim is to explore the integration of human inspiration and technology within the multiple facets of art, while also building a groundbreaking in-depth contemporary art collection and an unparalleled exhibition program, that together will foster a vital contribution to the integrity and creativity of art and art history of the 21st century.
Our museum’s core vision is Universality, Insight, and Innovation.
