碳14取自于“碳14定年法”，意味着永恒。碳14画廊创立于2013年，位于上海市中心的泰康路田子坊。画廊拥有100平米的空间，其中60平米为主展厅，展线不少于30米，配有专业的轨道照明设备，展示环境优良，可用于专业影像展览的举办。
画廊立志于推广当代影像艺术，重视有个性的摄影语言，挖掘培养有潜力的艺术新锐，为优秀作品提供展示空间，以多元的视角诠释摄影作为当代艺术的存在。同时，我们也积极拓宽国际交流机会，为本土艺术家提供广阔的国际平台。
自创办以来，推出了中外原作摄影展《属性》，展示了十几位摄影大师的著名作品和多种古典工艺。之后，碳14开启了GIVE ME 5年度新锐项目，愿意全力支持青年摄影艺术家的个性化发展。
与此同时，碳14画廊也希望将我们对摄影的热爱作为一种新的生活方式传递给更多的人。会定期配合展览，举办碳14摄影沙龙、艺术座谈、策展人及艺术家导览等活动。
The concept of C14 comes from “Carbon Labeling” which means permanent. As a fresh photography gallery in Shanghai, C14gallery was established in 2013.

Equipped with professional lights, it offers a fantastic environment for hosting photography or visual art exhibitions.C14gallery is the gallery, which takes up the mission of promoting contemporary photographic art, cherishes unique visual language and breeds promising young artists. One of our primary missions is to offer an exclusive space for showing our diverse understandings of photography as a contemporary art. Furthermore, it is also our duty to offer our artists more opportunities of international exchange.
The opening show of the gallery is BEING: Group Exhibition of Vintage Prints, which displays famous art pieces from more than ten international photographic masters under the theme of showing respect to historical processes of this art form. Afterwards, C14 has launched the annual young talent project, GIVE ME 5, to encourage and support more and more local emerging photographic artists.
We believe that photography collection will be a kind of new lifestyle in the future. We would like to share with more people our passion and knowledge of photographic art. Therefore, our gallery will have regular salons, talks on photography and art, guide tours with artist or curator in cooperate with our ongoing exhibitions.
