Organisation(s)
ArtReviewCo-presented by international contemporary art magazine ArtReview and K11 Group, a one-year artist-in-residence programme will be hosted in K11 art village in Wuhan, China in 2023 and 2024, seeking to build a meaningful cultural exchange programme between artists from China and those from the rest of the world. The residency will host up to 20 emerging artists recruited through a two-month worldwide open call and selected by ArtReview and K11 Art Foundation. All artists regardless of background, age or career are welcome.
The residency will offer each artist an
integrated studio and living space, and a curated outreach programme
encompassing studio visits and seminars. The programme encourages interactions and
exchanges between the artists and the local art students, art practitioners and
the neighbourhood. Programme will include K11 Master Class, offline sharing
sessions, panel discussions and K11 Kulture Academy workshops. In order to
offer residents’ bespoke learning opportunities, four international acclaimed
artists would be invited to be their mentors throughout the programme.
Residents would also have the opportunity to participate in K11 Art
Foundation’s international arts and education projects. An exhibition of the
research and works by the residents will be held in 2024 to conclude the
year-long residency.
K11 art village was inaugurated in 2011 in Wuhan. Encompassing seven studios and a 500-square-metre exhibition space for the artist-in-residence programme, the innovative platform seeks to nurture emerging art practitioners. It cultivates young talents and aids their artistic career development via the provision of curatorial, project management and creative communication guidance, while encouraging discourse and exchange with the local community and among artists in the neighbourhood.
Over the past decade, K11 art village has
partnered with institutions including the Nissan Art Award, Japan, the Royal
Academy of Arts, UK, British Consulate General in China and Consulate General
of France in Wuhan.

The residency programme seeks to
promote three key elements to maintain its mission’s balance: your creative inspiration,
your relationship to other artists and the Foundation’s team, and your active
exchange with the communities. The jury will base its decision on the
quality of your application, the potential for your community project and its
feasibility within the region, while keeping in mind that the project can
evolve or adapt to the possibilities of the communities. Successful artists will work with an
international artist-mentor during the residency, to enrich the scope and
ambition of each proposal while deepening communication and relationships with
fellow artists, the Foundation and the community. |
