绝版影像馆UP Gallery 成立于2009 年是台湾首座专门以摄影与影像作品展出的艺廊。创办人廖益嘉同时为艺术家/摄影家在预见影像艺术的独特性也坚信影像艺术的价值与地位迟早在台湾会被认可,因此决定在家乡新竹设立实体艺廊空间。他认为台湾需要一个独特的场域让摄影与影像艺术拥有展出平台。而艺廊名称象征初衷: 提升台湾的摄影与影像艺术价值并确立版次的观念。在过去我们不断推广并教育摄影与影像艺术。
总面积600平方米(三层楼)以及一个可容纳15~20辆车的停车场,展场空间相当完善。设施有:中央冷暖空调、室内空气管理、室内拖鞋紫外线除菌、视听设备和会议室颠覆普遍台湾摄影与影像展览空间的印象。专业导览、摄影艺术课程和热情的工作人员在台湾艺廊界创造了极佳的名声。
艺廊现任总监廖子宁(Agnes)毕业于苏富比艺术学院(伦敦)摄影硕士学位,同时也担任《艺术市场上的摄影:从交易到收藏的操作与演变》 一书的审校。她主力专研当代艺术摄影市场脉络也致力于发掘亚洲新锐艺术家并引领他们进入全球艺术摄影界,与更广大的艺术摄影界、当代艺术界进行交流。
Established in 2009, UP Gallery is dedicated solely to showcasing lens-based works. Founded by Yichia Liao, who is not only the gallery’s founder but also an artist and photographer, UP Gallery was born out of a vision for a premier platform to exhibit photography in Taiwan. Returning to his hometown of Hsinchu, Yichia established a physical gallery space spanning 600 square meters across three floors, complete with a parking lot accommodating 15-20 vehicles. This space offers audiences an exceptional viewing experience to appreciate photographic and moving-image works.
Derived from “Uniquephoto Gallery,” UP Gallery introduced the concept of editions and has been committed to enhancing the value of photography in Taiwan since its inception. The gallery believes that each photograph holds unique potential, and its core value lies in uniqueness and progression which lead to one direction: UP, the gallery’s core value.
Currently led by director Agnes Liao, who holds a Master of Arts in Photography from Sotheby’s Institute of Art (London) and serves as a reviewer for the Mandarin version of the book “Photography and the Art Market,” UP Gallery specializes in contemporary art photography. Dedicated to discovering emerging Asian artists and guiding them into the global art photography world. With a mission to expand its reach among art photography enthusiasts and within the contemporary art field, UP Gallery continues to champion the exploration and appreciation of lens-based works.
