Studio Chongqing
A Live Collection of Work and Experiences from the 501 Residency, Chongqing, China.
Date: Thursday 21 April
Time: 1pm - 4pm
Venue: Chinese Arts Centre

Studio Chongqing aims to give a glimpse into the experience of a series of artists who have been resident at the 501 Contemporary Art Space, Chongqing.

In central China lies Chongqing City, virtually unknown to the world, but home to over 32 million people and rising. This restless megalopolis is in a continuous state of construction, demolition and reconstruction to accommodate its burgeoning population.

Within the technicolour district of Huang Jue Ping sits the 501 Contemporary Artspace. Over the last 2 years, the Chinese Art Centre has introduced many artists from Manchester and beyond to the residency programme at the 501. For Studio Chongqing we have brought together, both physically and virtually artists from Manchester and all over the world to present to you an aspect of their experience in Chongqing.

Please join us for this afternoon of performance, presentation and discussion and catch a glimpse through the window of Studio Chongqing.
