Artist
in residence in Shanghai: an experience
From August to October
2013 I had the opportunity
to stay in Shanghai, host of Swatch Group at Swatch Art Peace Hotel, located in the heart of the Bund.
The Swatch Art Peace Hotel is
a residence for artists (visual
artists, designers, musicians,
film-makers, photographers…) from around the world, invited by
Swatch to live and work in a dynamic and complex city as Shanghai.
My artistic practice is strongly connected
to the cultural and social context in which I live. So, the residence program
in S.A.P.H. has been a precious opportunity to create
new artistic projects, which investigate and reflect the
Chinese metropolis.
