Artists in Residence at Hong Merchant
Hong Merchant’s artists in residence programme provides a select group of international artists with a unique opportunity to explore their medium and find and integrate inspiration from daily life in Shanghai into their work as they prepare for their exhibit at the gallery. Among others, artists find themselves drawn to local colours, the printed word, sites, old objects, and the rush of daily life. With a base in Shanghai they have the opportunity to explore and experiment in mediums that are not readily available in their home countries, such as neon, resins, gold leaf, ceramic, and bronze. Residence ranges from a period of weeks to months, and the artists work in a light-filled studio.
