OPEN CALL FOR CURATORS: VISIT TO S. KOREA

Both Sides Now exhibition at K11 Chi Art Space, Hong Kong

About Viewfinder

videoclub has been awarded funding for Viewfinder from Arts Council England and Creative Scotland to deliver a series of visits across E Asia with artists who work with moving image. This is with the aim of promoting those artists to local audiences and to enable artists to gain contacts, which can lead to earning income, through such as sales, commissions, exhibitions, screenings and residencies. We will be visiting cities across China, Taiwan and S Korea throughout 2017 and 18.
