Galerie Urs Meile - artist in residence program

In January 2006, Galerie Urs Meile has inaugurated a new location in Beijing's quarter of Cao Changdi. The gallery's showrooms and residential complex include a living and working area for visiting artists.

Within the rapid multiplication in China of exhibitions, biennials, triennials and public spaces, Galerie Urs Meile sees its role to sustainably provide working conditions for contemporary artists which includes the support of artists in various media, experimental approaches, and their ideas.

The artist-in-residence program offers visiting artists a special opportunity to live and work in Beijing. The cultural environment stimulates new experiential horizons, perceptions, and creative processes. It offers thus conditions for the development of new artistic concepts and ideas. As a direct reaction to the unprecedented freedom and economic rewards Galerie Urs Meile is especially fostering critical discussions and developments of contemporary art by offering artists the opportunity to come up with new and interpretative concepts

The artist's residential and working space measures approx. 200 m2. The living area meets modern standards.
