a letter to artist participating 3rd Guangzhou Triennial from the Curators

Dear Artist,

A matter of some urgency concerns the Chinese visa application. Due to security measures during the period of the Olympics, which falls unfortunately on the Triennial's installation/manufacturing period, visas are closely scrutinised and take a much longer approval period. Please apply for your Chinese Visa as soon as possible, especially if you wish to apply for multiple entries.

As we are compiling all articles and materials for the Triennial's catalogue, we would appreciate if you could send in materials to your corresponding RC. Details as follows:

The catalogue format is 28cm by 25 cm, each artist has 4 pages on average. Each artist’s personal narration (of their Triennial projects) should be less than 500 words, with focus on the project. You should include photos (with/without sketches and plans) of this project. You should also send in an abbreviated bio of no more than 100 words, and a CV of exhibitions with a maximum of 10 entries (this includes solo shows and group exhibitions). We have already received some files for the catalogue, however, if changes need to be made, replacements should be sent before July 1st. We will leave the editing of information on artists to the corresponding RC, so please send all information to the RC for consolidation and editing.

Curators are now consolidating all the proposals, and are still in the process of planning the exhibition space. We cannot identify the space for your work at the moment, but hope to let you have more information by mid July. To help us in the process, please let us have as much information about your work/concept as possible.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.

Thanking you for your support, and looking forward to working with you,

With best regards,

Curators
