重庆壹方艺术馆

Yifang Art Museum sits in the Dazhulin area of Chongqing's Liangjiang New Area at 2 Yuzhu Road on the western section of Jinkai Avenue, about 200 metres north of Chongqing Sunac One Sino Park, on terraced ground above the Jialing River. It began as the sales pavilion for the Sunac development, refined over 91 days by roughly 450 people, and is built in a deconstructivist manner in which triangles and squares are repeatedly recomposed into pitched geometric volumes, with blade-like louvres outside reading as a flock of paper cranes; the project won international design awards and later opened permanently as an urban art museum, a rare case in Chongqing of a residential showpiece converted into public gallery space. The museum is organised in three zones, A, B and C, with indoor and outdoor areas linked by twin courtyard corridors that thread water, planting and landscape together; the main hall has a clear height of about 7.2 metres, the site is both open and private, and there are twelve dedicated parking bays plus power, lighting, air conditioning, audio and projection. On 28 August 2020 the Chongqing leg of the 2020 Paris Fashion Week children's unit staged a Dior show here, billed as the city's first top-tier international luxury runway event. On 27 June 2021 the 'Open June' programme of Chongqing Art Market opened three exhibitions here: ten Sichuan Fine Arts Institute painters in zone A, Qiu Zhenglun's hand-copied manuscript of Dream of the Red Chamber running to more than 800,000 characters in small regular script in zone B, and paintings by 120 young residents of Sunac communities in zone C, close to 300 works in all, on view to 25 July. The venue suits contemporary exhibitions, launches, design salons, concerts and private dinners; in September 2025 Ecovacs and Elle Decoration held a designer salon here. Opening hours are around 10:00 to 18:00, subject to the venue's notices.
