Arthub is producing a series of new collaborative artworks for Shanghai eArt festival and Transart. This workshop will bring together Aaajiao (multi media artist) and B6 (musicians/electronic composers), Nunu and Ling Xi together with a group of contemporary dancers from China and Alizia Borsari (actress and perfomer).These workshops will be going on all summer.
The first one saw the artists working together from May 23 to May 30th in BizArt, Shanghai.
The second work-shop is underway. The artists are working in the Music Academy thanks to the support of eArt Festival. At the end of the 3 days work-shop, the artists will work in H Space for two nights to rehearsal the presentation. Footage of this preview will be available soon next week.
To conclude, the quote by Els Silvrants is still the best description of the value of these collaborative projects: “Working with the right partners, in a collaborative effort, establishing in effect a network based on artistic integrity, quality standards and an equal sense of professionalism provides artists, curators and the audience in China and Europe with an important point of reference. It allows for a “context” to grow in China while events and exhibitions in Europe on China can draw upon a solid knowledge framework rooted in the local scene, providing a more in-depth image of the China situation than we unfortunately often come across in big China festivals and exhibits in Europe. [...]Inter-cultural dialogue might well be considered one of the most important experiments in our rapidly globalizing communities. It’s not about “presenting” our visions and convictions to each other but rather about “re-evaluating” ourselves when being confronted with a whole new cultural condition. ”
