Start of Summer Residency 2024 – Presentation

2024 June 6

Creative Residency Arita 2024 began in June.
We are happy to welcome the new participants of the summer residency programme to Arita.
We will be holding a self-introduction presentation to welcome the two artists.
In the self-introduction presentation, the artists will introduce themselves and their past works, and talk about what they want to explore and challenge in Arita.

Dutch artist Mirthe Klück:
Her practice includes paintings and ceramic sculptures in which she explores how layers of matter interact to create surfaces that feel both familiar and alien. This has resulted in a versatile body of work based on Mirthe’s idiosyncratic associative observations of everyday things.

Chinese designer Jing He:
Her interest in culture, politics and the history behind various daily objects, leads to imaginative visual representations involving various materials and mediums. During the creation of her works, she is open to collaboration with people from different disciplines. Her works are rich in the details of daily life and her compassion for social phenomena comes from both where she has been raised and where she currently lives. Jing He refers to herself as a cultural hybrid. The same seems to be true for her works. They are hybrids between different creative disciplines, cultures, co-creators, materials and mediums.

Please come and visit us.
We look forward to seeing you all.
