自1999年以來(lái)，南視覺(jué)美術(shù)館（RCM ART MUSEUM）的前身紅色經(jīng)典藝術(shù)館、經(jīng)典畫廊就致力于把自己的發(fā)展跟中國(guó)當(dāng)代藝術(shù)的本土化進(jìn)程聯(lián)系起來(lái)。繼2000年成功舉辦“新中國(guó)畫大展”之后，2002年又獨(dú)資承辦了中國(guó)第一個(gè)三年展——首屆中國(guó)藝術(shù)三年展。之后，南視覺(jué)美術(shù)館著力于全面推出生于七十年代的青年藝術(shù)家，“未來(lái)考古學(xué)：第二屆中國(guó)藝術(shù)三年展”的舉辦及其產(chǎn)生的巨大影響，成為這一戰(zhàn)略思路的最好體現(xiàn)。兩屆三年展的舉辦使南視覺(jué)美術(shù)館逐步完善了“另一種”三年展模式：一、就主體而言，它是民間機(jī)構(gòu)投資的三年展；二、就內(nèi)容而言，它是中國(guó)當(dāng)代藝術(shù)的三年展；三、就地點(diǎn)而言，它是一個(gè)漂流的三年展。

　　此外，中國(guó)獨(dú)立影像年度展、中國(guó)紀(jì)錄片交流周已經(jīng)成為南視覺(jué)美術(shù)館的常設(shè)項(xiàng)目。這些大型展覽的策劃和運(yùn)作表明，在國(guó)內(nèi)為數(shù)眾多的獨(dú)立藝術(shù)空間中，南視覺(jué)美術(shù)館超越了展館的空間限制以及功能限制，被賦予了新的含義——它一直是以一個(gè)積極的獨(dú)立主體，在較高的平臺(tái)上參與和推動(dòng)著中國(guó)當(dāng)代藝術(shù)機(jī)制的建設(shè)，并正在通過(guò)自身的努力逐步向更高的水準(zhǔn)發(fā)展。

　　目前，位于南京市北京西路72號(hào)的新址，正在進(jìn)行大規(guī)模改造的南視覺(jué)美術(shù)館，將更加適宜當(dāng)代藝術(shù)的展示和交流。到2006年，新址所在的南京2021藝術(shù)區(qū)將建成為中國(guó)長(zhǎng)江三角洲最重要的獨(dú)立藝術(shù)區(qū)之一。
