OUR ARTISTS FEEDBACK

OUR ARTISTS FEEDBACK

  • “…This experience became a turning point, allowing me to take my artistic practice in new directions. Although I faced challenges and encountered obstacles, I was able to break down the barriers between reality and the digital world through the concept of "errors" and gained a deeper awareness of the space where I truly stand.”

    Sookyung Kim

  • “This residency offered me an unprecedented opportunity to observe, engage with, and identify with non-human beings and things for an extended period of time, while at the same time taking me back to the innocent imagination of medieval art beyond morality, beyond the normative aesthetics of Renaissance art, to delve into a discussion of the metamorphosis of the constant-becoming body.”

    Yaya Yajie Liang

  • “…My sustained engagement with the city’s architecture in situ — returning, tracing, and re-tracing the same streets, walls, and surfaces over weeks — and the numerous interactions with residents that resulted from it have shifted my interest to the mnemonic function of discrete material artefacts for individual and collective memory.”

    Wies Roeterdink

  • …“I’ve been drawing outside everyday, just me, the lizards, scorpions and olive trees. You see, the thing is, l’ve always worked from a place that begins with a connection to the divine natural, me as a part of nature and not the other way around. I am nature. This state of mind produces visions and I’m seeing them everywhere I look, here in this green heart of Italy…”
