【FITS x Pro Helvetia Shanghai: Online Artist-in-Residence Programme】

Succeeding the spirit of Fill in the Space Artist-in-Residency, we are collaborating with Swiss Art Council, Pro Helvetia Shanghai to bring forth a new online residency programme. This time we invited Swiss multidisciplinary artist Alan Bogana to join us in a virtual community of research and art. To introduce the Hong Kong art scene and conduct exchanges with the artist, we gathered local art practitioners from various backgrounds to accompany the online resident. Visit 1a space's Instagram and Facebook to see what they went through during the online meetings.

【Artist's Biography】

Alan Bogana is a Swiss visual artist based in Geneva. Over the years, he has developed a multiform art practice involving installations, sculptures, time-based media, websites, virtual realities and holograms.

His research focuses on the real and speculative behaviour of light as well as on the emergence of organic shapes and patterns by means of technological processes. His works delve into the mediating roles that technoscience cultures play in our perceptions, in our understanding of reality and in the construction of our notions about nature.

He completed a Fine Arts Diploma with honours at the Geneva University of Art and Design in 2009 and a specialization in artistic research methodologies at the Zürich University of Art and Design in 2013.
