Viewfinder: ON AIR
ON AIR launches as part of our international showcasing programme, Viewfinder, in Shanghai over 10 till 18 November, alongside the West Bund Art Fair. ON AIR is a collaboration with Shanghai-based International Art and Science Research Institute (AS), which organises interdisciplinary programmes and projects in and beyond China.
As part of the ON AIR programme we’re bringing seven artists with us to connect them with local contacts in Shanghai, and to show their work as part of a series of screenings, events and talks in Shanghai. The artists in the programme are Anne Haaning, Joey Holder, Patrick Hough, Shona Illingworth, Karen Kramer, Torsten Lauschmann and Lawrence Lek.

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.
ON AIR Project
ON AIR is a long-term cultural exchange programme that Viewfinder will be part of over the next two years, enabling exchange internationally between artists from the UK, China and other countries. It is a project established by videoclub and International Art & Science Research Institute.
