OCAT深圳馆

OCAT Shenzhen occupies Building F2 in the south area of OCT-LOFT, Enping Street, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, and is the oldest and headquarters venue of the OCAT group. It began on 28 January 2005 as the OCT Contemporary Art Terminal, then administratively part of the He Xiangning Art Museum and fully funded by OCT Group; in 2012 it registered as an independent non-profit art institution. Its field is contemporary art across media, pursued through exhibitions, research, publishing, public education and an international artist studio programme, and it initiated projects including the Shenzhen Sculpture Biennale and the OCAT Biennale. In September 2022 a new building opened in the north area of OCT-LOFT: Hall B10, a former magnetic-disk factory converted by URBANUS, led by Meng Yan, with 6,109 square metres of floor area on a 6,899-square-metre site. The design keeps the two-storey factory structure and inserts a library, auditorium, art shop, offices and storage, making B10 the main exhibition venue, while F2 in the south area continues as a project space. The campus sits on the pedestrian spine of OCT-LOFT, surrounded by galleries, design studios and bookshops, forming Shenzhen's densest art ecology. Admission is generally free; the museum opens 10:00 to 17:30 and closes on Mondays. Telephone 0755-26915007.
