The Art of Living is a series of collaboration between New York-based SCREEN and Beijing-based I: project space, a group of young artists in New York, Berlin and Beijing will respond with images and links to a questionnaire on their living and working conditions. This survey will be published on SCREEN’s website and I: project space’s Wechat channel. The season will then culminate in a three-city screening series curated around the theme of stories of survival.
SCREEN is a New York-based curatorial collective and media art platform that fosters critical voices and new forms of exhibition for media-based practices.
I: project space is a Beijing-based platform for international art discourse and exchange, which also hosts a residency program.
