我將會深入瞭解重慶這座城市，也希望其獨特的城市特色對我的藝術創作帶來靈感。在準備期間，我一直用心研究重慶的相關歷史和當地文化。自我來中國後，我明白了實地學習至關重要，因此我打算利用各種社交媒體應用來調查重慶居民對重慶乃至整個中國的藝術和當代文化的看法，並從藝術從業者和非藝術從業者的角度來研究重慶的藝術文化和市場。此項目的重中之重在於充分發揮人們對藝術的先入之見和期望，提升觀者對城市中未來當代藝術項目的參與度和興趣。

During my time in Chongqing I would like to acquire a deep understanding of the city and look to its unique features to inspire my artworks. In preparation I have been researching the history and culture of the city, but as I have learned from my time in China, time on the ground is invaluable. I would like to use various social media applications to survey the local population upon their thoughts about art and contemporary culture in Chongqing and China at large. I would like to study Chongqing’s artistic culture and market through the lense of art affiliated and non art people alike. The culmination of this project will play with these preconceptions and expectations of art, while hopefully inspiring the viewers to be more engaged and interested in future contemporary art programming in the city.
