在策展人胡朝聖歷經兩年的籌備與規劃，「双方藝廊」終於將在2015年五月中旬於台北大直敞開大門。以構成藝廊主體的兩個長方形空間而命名的「双方」，欲以二元參照的觀點開啟無限可能（藝術家／觀者、空間／社區、地方／中心、在地／國際、主體／他者…等）。不以二元劃分，而是「參照」的觀點映射出更多元的經營觀念，意味著「双方藝廊」將同時著重藝術推廣、策展實踐、出版研究以及收藏服務等面向；從這些課題思考之下延伸拓展出台灣正面臨之當代國際藝術生態中關於藝術生產、展覽型態、專業收藏、數據分析、學術研究、國際交流、人才培訓和資源交換的發展， 矢言要為台灣及國際當代藝術帶來嶄新視野與定位。

在策展人胡朝聖歷經兩年的籌備與規劃，「双方藝廊」終於將在2015年五月中旬於台北大直敞開大門。以構成藝廊主體的兩個長方形空間而命名的「双方」，欲以二元參照的觀點開啟無限可能（藝術家／觀者、空間／社區、地方／中心、在地／國際、主體／他者…等）。不以二元劃分，而是「參照」的觀點映射出更多元的經營觀念，意味著「双方藝廊」將同時著重藝術推廣、策展實踐、出版研究以及收藏服務等面向；從這些課題思考之下延伸拓展出台灣正面臨之當代國際藝術生態中關於藝術生產、展覽型態、專業收藏、數據分析、學術研究、國際交流、人才培訓和資源交換的發展， 矢言要為台灣及國際當代藝術帶來嶄新視野與定位。
台北作為亞洲當代藝術市場的先驅之一，蘊藏著豐沛及穩固紮實的藝術環境與資源，而在亞洲各大城市積極爭取藝術市場地位之時，眾多畫廊、展覽空間卻被迫在學術與商業間取捨，以至於對藝術的想像受限而顯得保守退縮。双方藝廊在專業自許的要求下期待開拓更寬廣的視野，扶植藝術的前進，成為一雙有力的臂膀，將其定⋯⋯位為當代藝術生態中「另類的另類空間」以及「替代的替代空間」，成為繼美術館、畫廊、非營利空間和替代空間之後的新型態展覽場域，打破各機構之間現實條件下的鴻溝與疆界，擷取各自所長，破除一般人的刻板印象，致力成為全球第一間實踐藝術家與策展人理念的商業藝廊，並在國內外策展人和藝術家通力合作下，使未來的每一檔展覽(個展和聯展)兼備商業、學術、前衛、專業和理想於其中，朝向全然美術館品質的標準看齊，讓「藝廊美術館化」；也回應全球當代藝術環境對於藝廊發展趨勢的想像、探索和實踐，尤其在歐美近日許多重要藝廊不斷擴張其空間與據點之下，對於展覽品質的自我提升以及服務更成為全球競爭下不可或缺的動能，這也是双方藝廊希望達成的目標。
近年來內湖大直地區儼然成為台北畫廊生態的新聚落，更促使双方藝廊思辯著全球競爭環境下所需具備的思考格局與觀點，除了在展覽生產的企圖心上以學術策展為主軸之外。双方藝廊也將以國際化規格和定位來經營藝術收藏部門的事業，在台灣過去已擁有的藝術活力與收藏實力上，成為藝術創作者與收藏家之間對內也對外最好的橋樑。憑藉著對台灣本地藝術生態的熟稔，與長期串聯國際藝術社群的經驗和實力，提供收藏家最有效益與影響力的即時資訊、潮流、數據與研究分析，成為最值得信任與期待的專業國際藝廊，希望能為台灣藝術環境創造歷史的新章節；未來也將運用在商業服務上獲得的資源轉移至支持展覽發展與研究的經費之上，以「社會企業」的概念建立藝術家、策展人、藝廊、收藏家與觀眾之間共好的關係。
開幕首展《我倆之眼》由策展人胡朝聖策劃，呼應藝廊名稱的定義、定位與功能，思索如何與這嶄新的展覽空間對話，並且以此展為基礎，開拓出未來的藝術契機。胡朝聖認為：「透過藝術，我們得以重啟另一双眼，看見被層層外在遮蔽的本質與真相，讓不存在的得以現形，建立對自己和世界的認知與理解，以此為基石向前催生推進的動能與可能。這神祕又繁複的創造過程來自於藝術家不斷凝視和外界(他者)之間距離的差異參照與對比，進一步達成自我思想的奔放、濃縮和淬鍊；然這凝視並非只單獨經由藝術家之眼指向創作核心，而是還透過他者目光一次又一次得以穿越、內觀和回返創作者自身狀態，最終產生具有超越性與啟發性的感知作品，與創作以外的觀者交流、對話並影響著世界。」策展人期待觀者經由《我倆之眼》，能超越地域、生活、文化背景等不同脈絡差異下而與其會面，從美學形式、主體意識、身分認同、集體記憶、哲學感知、媒體觀察、慾望探索、弱勢關懷、次文化研究、地緣政治等主題，對自我和世界能有更多體悟。也希望觀者從展覽中，想像藝術家透過他者互為双眼而成就創作的渠道與方法，進行藝術生產，豐富彼此的思想模式和生命。
双方藝廊首展「我倆之眼」將於2015年5月16日開幕，邀請來自台灣、印度、澳洲、美國以及日本等國共13位藝術家聯合展出，展出作品包括互動動力裝置、雕塑、攝影、錄像裝置與繪畫，參展藝術家：陳順築，陳萬仁，曲德義，尚恩．格萊德維爾（Shuan Gladwell），蘇尼爾‧高帝（Sunil Gawde），平川祐樹（Yuuki Hirakawa），何孟娟，徐永旭，丹尼爾．羅森（Daniel Rozin），蘇匯宇，陶亞倫，吳東龍，于軒。

After two years of preparation by curator Sean C. S. Hu, Double Square Gallery will open its doors to the public in Da-Chi area, Taipei in May 2015. Double Square Gallery derive its name from the two rectangular spaces that form the gallery space, seeking to create endless possibilities with contrasting perspective of mutual reference (e.g. artist vs. viewer, space vs. community, periphery vs. center, local vs. international, subject vs. object, and so forth). The gallery’s underlying philosophy of operation is reflected not in dichotomous differentiation but in mutual reference, implying the gallery will focus simultaneously on art promotion, curatorial practice, research publication, and collection service; developing from these activities, we find in the current trend within contemporary art on the international scene, artistic production, exhibition form, professional collection, data analysis, academic research, international exchange, personnel training, and resource exchange, are all subjects in need of contemplation, discuss and study for Taiwan, hence Double Square Gallery is determined to create a brand new horizons for Taiwan and international contemporary art.
As one of the pioneering cities of Asian contemporary art market, Taipei features a supportive environment with rich resource for the development of arts. However, art galleries and spaces in Taipei are forced to conform to commercial values as Taipei competes for the lead in art market with other Asian cities. Galleries and art spaces become conservative as such compromise restrict imaginations. Under the expectation of operating on the highest professional level, Double Square Gallery aims at expanding this landscape and become a supporter for the progress in arts. Different from museums, galleries, non-profit institutions, and alternative spaces, Double Square Gallery position itself as a brand new form of multi-functional art space. The gallery not only escapes the confines of traditional artistic practices, but also incorporates the best qualities from other institutions, allowing relief from the social stereotype to become the world’s first commercial art gallery that is able to fulfill diverse philosophies from artists and curators. Benefiting from close collaboration between curators and artists, every solo or group-exhibition hosted by the gallery will display commercial, academic, avant-garde, professional, and aspiring qualities. The gallery envisages itself to become a “museum-lized art gallery,” it also acknowledge the imagination, exploration and practice from the global trend, especially the recent expansion of major art galleries in Europe and United States, hence organizing high-quality exhibitions and delivering professional services provide not only the indispensable momentum for global competition, this is also the what Double Square Galley expects to achieve.
Over these years, Nei-Hu and Da-Chi area have become prominent destinations for galleries in Taipei. This prompts Double Square Gallery to consider on the perspective required to compete on the global arena. In addition to the vision of research-based curating, the gallery directs the collection service towards gaining international visibility, becoming the most effective bond between artists and collectors both domestically and internationally. Benefiting from familiarity with local art scene, along with the experience and ability in connecting international art communities, Double Square Gallery will provide collectors with the latest information, trends, and analysis, achieving the reputation as an international and professional art gallery, exceeding the expectation of collectors around the world. The gallery not only expects to write a new chapter in Taiwanese art, but also plans to transfer resources acquired from commercial services to the research and development of exhibitions. With the concept of “social enterprise”, the gallery wishes to establish mutual relationships with artists, curators, art galleries, collectors, and visitors.
Curated by Sean C. S. Hu, the inaugural exhibition Our Eyes embodies the name, direction and functions of Double Square Gallery. It not only point the way to a meaningful dialogue with the brand new space, but also creates new opportunities for arts by positioning itself as the place of happening. Hu writes, “with the help of art, we open another pair of eyes that can see through the disguise and unveil the kernel truth. They not only turn the invisible into the visible, but also shape our perception and understanding of the world, from which we create the momentum and possibility for the progress in the arts. The mysterious and sophisticated process of creation actually results from artists’ continued gazing at their distance from the external world (i.e. others). Such kind of mutual reference and contrast liberate, condense and refine our thoughts. However, the gazing is not so much the unilateral imposition of artists’ sight on the core of creation as the bilateral exchange between artists and others through which artists may reflect on their Dasein and thereby create transcending and inspiring artworks. These artworks may interact and communicate with the viewers, charting the course of the world.” From the inaugural exhibition, Hu expects the viewers to see beyond the confines of geographical, living and cultural contexts, and obtain a firmer grasp of ones self and the world by looking at a diversity of issues such as aesthetic form, subjective consciousness, identity, collective memory, philosophical speculation, media observation, exploration of desire, concern for the disadvantaged, sub-culture studies, and geopolitics. In the exhibition, the viewers are also encouraged to imagine how artists create their works in an inter-subjective way. Such imagination will enrich the thought and life of both the viewers and the artists.
Our Eyes, the inaugural exhibition of Double Square Gallery opens on 16 May 2015, exhibition features thirteen artists from Australia, India, Japan, Taiwan, and the United States to presenting works of interactive kinetic installation and sculpture to photography, video installation and painting. Participating artist: Chen Shun-Chu, Chen Wan-Jen, Chu Teh-I, Sunil Gawde, Shaun Gladwell, Youki Hirakawa, Isa Ho, Hsu Yung-Hsu, Daniel Rozin, Su Hui-Yu, Tao Ya-Lun, Wu Tung-Lung, Yu Siuan
