坐落于普陀和靜安两区交界处,M50创意园虽位于市中心,却远离城市的喧嚣,可谓“取闹市之中,居桃园之所”。其独特的艺术氛围不断吸引着热爱文艺的年轻人前来观展、小憩。

百年工厂 时尚新生

M50,位于莫干山路50号,这里最初是徽商周氏家族企业的信和纱厂,也是上海第十二毛纺织厂、上海春明粗纺厂的前身,后来陆续更名为“上海春明都市型工业园区”、“春明艺术产业园”。

这个老上海工业遗址,见证了民族工业的兴衰,堪称是一部“活着的民族工业建筑史”。自上世纪30年代起,M50的建筑群保留了自民国时期以来的ArtDeco风格建筑以及解放初期苏联风格建筑。其中,不少建筑前后跨越了80年的历史变迁。

2001年,艺术家薛松发现了这片苏州河畔的具有历史遗迹感的文化空间,并在同年将个人工作室迁入其中,艺术开始在这里滋长。自此,越来越多的艺术家聚集到了这里。莫干山路50号逐渐变成了占地面积约41亩,建筑面积41606平方米,且最具艺术氛围的M50创意园。

园区漫步 穿越时空

如今,M50已成为众多文艺青年必打卡的拍摄圣地。从昌化路一头的莫干山路一直走,可以看到沿路满墙的涂鸦,墙上的涂鸦时常被新作品覆盖,时不时还会看到有人手持喷瓶在那涂鸦。

沿着小路走到尽头就是M50的入口了,这里引进了20个国家和地区的140余户艺术家工作室、画廊、高等艺术教育以及各类文化创意机构。目前拥有香格纳、华府艺术、迈纳迈图文、吉品堂、上海大学99艺术中学、复旦大学美术学院、半度雨棚等优质客户,令园区内弥漫着浓郁且惬意的艺术氛围。

园区的改造基本按照“以旧修旧”的原则,保留着之前的工业风格,又融入当代艺术设计,让你恍惚间有种穿越时空的错觉。例如,园区内有幢十五六米高的建筑原是整个厂区的锅炉房,曾为整个厂区供应热水,现在是一家名叫“宽庭”的家居会馆,建筑改造出自台湾设计师陈瑞宪之手,他将原建筑拆下的红砖捣成细碎,糅合涂料涂抹建筑外墙,呈现出新旧融合的时间感。

艺术画廊 沉浸看展

历史沉淀,机缘汇聚,原住艺术家的拼搏,奠定了M50当代艺术先锋园区的身份定位。在此身份之下,M50以推动中国当代艺术发展为己任,逐步开创了中国创意艺术园区的先河,成为了中国第一批授牌的创意园区,也成为了上海乃至中国对外文化艺术交流的重要文化名片。

园区内每月都有免费对外开放的展览,在这里你能看到正在拍照的游客,也能看到观摩学习的相关从业者。整个园区楼上楼下都是布满的状态,每隔一段时间去都可以发现新的画廊。M50的艺术画廊们宛如一个个盲盒,等待着你去开启。

脚步轻停 慢享时光

除了艺术画廊,M50艺术园区内还设有家居装饰馆、时尚品牌店、小饰品摊位、咖啡厅等充满格调的小店等你探索。

无论天气如何,这里都是绝佳的拍照地点,斑驳的铁门,还有做旧的墙面,充满文艺复古的感觉。假如你细细追寻,依旧可以看到老工厂旧址的痕迹,感受时光的变迁。

寻一个悠闲的日子,约三两老友,院里城市喧嚣,在大都市林立的高楼中寻得这一片宁静,踏入一个接一个由艺术缔造的时空。

Located at the junction of Putuo and Jing’an districts, M50 Creative Park is located in the city center, but far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Its unique artistic atmosphere continues to attract young people who love art to come to the exhibition and take a break.

Century-old factory reborns as a fashionable landmark

M50 premises were formerly occupied by Shanghai Chunming Roving Factory. The efforts to transform it into an art creative park began in 2001. M50 Creative Park covers an area of about 41 mu, the park is home to many industrial buildings from the 1930s to the 1990s with a total floor area of about 41,606 square meters. It is now the best-preserved building complex along Suzhou Creek, witnessing the development of the national textile industry of China.

M50 Creative Park is a cluster of modern design enterprises, an art innovation platform, and an art community accommodating companies in the fields of visual art, creative design, brand extension, incubation of creative industries and so on. It is located at No.50 Moganshan Road, Putuo District, hence its name M50.

Walking around the park, transcending time and space

Today, M50 has become a must-have photo spot for many young people. From Moganshan Road at one end of Changhua Road, you can see graffiti all along the wall, which is often covered with new works, and sometimes you can see someone doing graffiti there.

At the end of the path is the entrance to M50. Since 2008, the park has been developed into a brand with “art, creativity and life” as its values. It is now home to a total of 64 galleries, 117 artists from 20 countries and regions, tertiary art education institutions and various cultural and creative companies. There are vibrant galleries such as ShanghART Gallery,Huafu Art Space, Poledesign Consultants, Chronus Art Center, Antenna Space, Cc Foundation & Art Center, Center for Contemporary Asian Art and Vanguard. A number of studios operated by well-known artists such as Ding Yi, Zhou Tiehai, Xue Song and Gu Wenda, as well as many famous design firms have also settled here, making the park filled with a rich and comfortable artistic atmosphere.

The park retains the previous industrial style and incorporates contemporary art design, giving you the illusion of passing through time and space in a trance.

Fascinating art galleries and exhibitions

M50 has become one of the first creative parks awarded in China and an important cultural name card for cultural and art exchanges in Shanghai.

There are free exhibitions open to the public every month in the park, where you can see tourists taking photos and visitors learning, and new galleries can be found every once in a while. M50’s art galleries are like blind boxes waiting to be opened.

Enjoying leisure time

In addition to art galleries, M50 also features home decor galleries, fashion brands, trinket stalls, cafes and other stylish shops.

No matter what the weather, it’s the perfect place to take pictures, with its mottled iron gates and worn walls, full of artistic retro feeling. If you look closely, you can still see the traces of the old factory site, and feel the change of time.

To find a leisure day, with a couple of friends, you could find a peace in this metropolis, and step into the space created by arts.
