| Supporting The people's Residency |
| Chinese Arts Centre is excited to announce a new initiative, The People's Residency. The scheme gives the public an opportunity to select who we have here as artist-in-residence in Spring/Summer 2012, provides a unique insight into the residency process and access to exclusive events. The scheme is led by the people, funded by the people and by essentially brought to life by the people – 100 donations of just £35 will fully support a 3-month live/ work residency for a lucky artist.

Jeremy Hutchison |
 In January 2011, Jeremy Hutchison sent an email to factories all over the world. He wanted to know what happens when you lodge an error in the 'smooth wheels of globalisation'. Err is a project developed as part of Jeremy's MA Degree show at Slade, London. The works represent a collection of objects, made by individual factory workers with a specific design fault of their own choice. From the 17 collected objects, 6 were made in China. The First Step Space will showcase these individually crafted objects along with their creators' details, raising issues of miscommunication, function and dysfunction, and mass-production verses the unique. |
