Yesterday visited Three Shadows – just next door to platform China. Incredible space, with a great exhibition on at the moment, Coal + Ice – “a documentary photography exhibition featuring the work of 30 photographers from China, the United States, Malaysia, Russia, Hungary, Poland, Norway, Germany and the United Kingdom, whose work, brought together here, visually narrates the hidden chain of actions triggered by mankind’s use of coal”.
Interestingly, it also runs an artist in residency program for photographers, video artists and curators. It also has a great library of over 2,000 books, catalogues and journals related to photography and video art. It is a great disocovery, and glad its next door.
It was started by two leading photographers – RongRong, from China and inri, from Japan in 2007. Looks fantastic.
