泰康空间在2009年11月至2010年11月间，将相继举办18位中国年轻艺术家的个展，每个展览2－3周，共为期一年。这18个个展是一个系列艺术活动，在同一个的展厅里实施，这个展厅面积共51m²，故取名“51m²”。

“51m²”旨在通过一系列定期的连续或非连续性展览／活动为年轻的创作者提供检验近期工作的平台。作为既有的展览体制之外的探索，项目希冀为艺术家发挥其创作上的自主和独立性提供更多的支持，从而丰富和延展我们在艺术实践领域更多的经验与体验。未来，我们或可以通过这有限的容积中发生的林林总总来窥见一段时间内的艺术现实。

"51m²" aims to provide a platform for artists, particularly young artists, to review their recent works through a series of consecutive or non-consecutive exhibitions and activities. As an exploration outside of the exhibition system, the project hopes to provide support for artists to create subjectively and independently, thereby enriching and broadening our experiences in artistic practice. In the future, we will be able to summarize the artistic reality from this period of accumulation.
