Tuesday 13th of September 2016
The artwork is ready, the structure, the electronics as well as the screenprinted panels are ready too and have been carefully packaged and they are finally ready to go; I am sending them off today and will use these final days to concentrate on a duo show I am having in London at the Kristin Hjellegjerde’s gallery, with American artist Jeremy Everett, to finalise the coding of the interactive artwork and to prepare for another show I will have while in China, the participation in the Second Triennale of Fiber Art, at the Zhejiang Musum in Hangzhou.
At the same time I am booking the accommodations and taking care of the logistics; other artists and friends who have been to China have already given me some good advice and reminded me of the temporary conditions of all things, social platforms included; I have downloaded WeChat and purchased two different VPN apps accounts in case one fails while I am away.
The MoCA museum will very kindly provide the platform for networking one there; this is my very first time in China and I look forward to using the days available, in order to exploring the local art scene and potential opportunities for expanding my network, in order to make the best out of it.
