In collaboration with ArtSway
21 February – 21 May 2007
The work of Ma Yong Feng relates to aspects of animal culture, specifically in relation to man-made environments and topographic modelling. Taking the role of an anthropologist, Ma will research our impulse to cage and categorise as a basis of his investigation into the changing relations of natural history to post-colonial British Culture.
He aims to look into ideas of anthropocentrism and its effects on animal habitats, and how humanity thinks itself as progenitors of aesthetic ideas.
PRODUCTION is a new residency scheme that is a collaboration between Chinese Arts Centre and ArtSway in Sway, Hampshire. PRODUCTION will attempt to bridge the Urban with the Rural Environment providing an artist with an opportunity to discuss this relationship within the confines of a split-site 5 month Artists Residency. After spending 3 months at Chinese Arts Centre the artist will go on to ArtSway where they will spend a further 2 months preparing work for an exhibition commencing late July through August 2007.
Toured to ArtSway 22 May – 22 July 2007. Solo Exhibition run throughout August 2007
