Nowadays, artists’ work spectrum has been expanding more and more compare to the past when artists had limited material such as white painting canvas to perform their work.
With the aid of technological developments and the support from various sponsors, the scale of artwork became much larger and larger into a public realm. Spaces, buildings, and even city itself have been used as canvases for artists, which resulted more direct exposure allowing more interaction with the public.
Moreover, governments and corporate companies are now well aware of the important role of the art and regard artworks as a tool to vitalize the city, so many artists are already involved in various types of urban projects. Therefore, the artist population started to contribute significantly to urban development through the export of their work, by providing multiple and diverse consumption activities for residents and by re-investing back into their local cultural economy.
Within these contexts, this project seeks for new spatial strategies, focusing on the new relationship between the corporate companies and the artists as well as proposing new type of exhibition that could happen in the urban realm by designing live and work studios, collective spaces as well as spaces of recreation, display and event.
