Description

In recent years, the city of Shanghai has become an integral hub for Asia's burgeoning art and photography worlds. With a rich multicultural and cosmopolitan history that blends the East and West, Shanghai offers a unique portal into Chinese civilization that frames the city as the embodiment of China's future.

This unique four-week residency emphasizes the exploration of Shanghai and encourages the integration of Western and Eastern photographic practices. With the goal of seeing their world and their work from a more global perspective, participants meet and dialog with the Shanghai art community as well as engage in individual and group critiques. Along with an intimate investigation of Shanghai's contemporary art world, there are individual portfolio reviews by prominent members of Shanghai's photography community that provide the opportunity to share ideas and network with curators and gallery owners as well as colleagues.

This program offers the opportunity and freedom for participants to expand their body of work in a new and increasingly relevant context and gain a more profound understanding of art practices and photographic content, form, color, context, taste, and limits. Shanghai's rich history, booming economy, worldwide artistic presence, and interweaving of Western ideas with Chinese traditions, make it the perfect city for an enlightening, productive and exciting summer experience.
