【Fill in the Space】Artists-in-Residence

The response of “Fill in the Space” was overwhelming and we received many exciting proposals from different artists. After careful considerations and discussions, we have selected 6 artists as the artists-in-resident of the Programme and they have started their residency in early May. We are excited for their creation and exchange during the residency.
