| Welcome to our June newsletter |
Thank you to everyone who came to the reception of Tasha Whittle’s Note to Self and to everyone that did a object swap with Eastman Cheng, our artist-in-residence, during FutureEverything.
During Eastman’s residency she is keen to share ideas with local artists, so if you’re an artist interested in meeting her please do get in touch.
If you haven’t seen our current exhibition, Lanwei, catch it before it ends on 12 June.
Come and join us for the preview of our next exhibition Liberation, curated with Beijing-based Carol Lu and Liu Ding, on 24 June.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
