The publication presents the results of the cross-cultural exchange between Swiss and Chinese artists and scientists. They have been created in the context of the “Sino-Swiss Residency Exchange”-project within the Swiss artists-in-labs program at the Zurich University of the Arts.
During an immersive 5-months the artists Alexandre Joly, Aline Veillat, Aniu and Wenfeng Liao explored, learnt and bridged the cultural caps of understanding at science institutes in China and Switzerland with focus on environmental issues related to mountain (shan) and water (shui). The individual processes of the artists involved are documented, thus giving insights into the experiences, questions and difficulties that both artists and scientists have been confronted with during this immersive encounter.
The “Sino-Swiss Residency Exchange”-project and the “山水 SHANSHUI – BOTH WAYS” exhibition and publication are parts of the Exchange and Cooperation Programme “Swiss Chinese Cultural Explorations” of Pro Helvetia, the Swiss arts council.
