山水 SHANSHUI – BOTH WAYS 2010
The exhibition 山水 SHANSHUI – BOTH WAYS 2010 when art meets science displays the artwork of the four Sino-Swiss recidency exchange award winners 2009. Exhibition September – December 2010, in China (Shanghai) and Switzerland (Berne).
Artworks of Alexandre Joly – Aline Veillat – Aniu - Liao Wenfeng
Two artists each from Switzerland and China respectively explored and learnt about scientific environmental issues in renowned research institutes in their host countries during their 5 months residency. Whilst the resulting artworks accentuated the boundaries between art and science as well as China and Switzerland, they also helped to blur these differences. During their residencies the artists didn’t just learn about scientific processes, but were also exposed to subjects such as identity, culture, society or communication. This leaded to the development of works which were influenced in their own way by culturally specific attributes.
