IAN
Healing Images: Embarking on a Journey of Photographic Narratives
October 19 to November 17, 2023
IAN is a media artist and film director who is accustomed to using materials such as photography, sound, and video to explore themes related to human perception, psychological activities, and imaginative constructions. During their residency at Three Shadows, IAN will focus on experimental filmmaking, exploring the relationship between "stillness" and "motion" not only within the realm of imagery but also in interpersonal communication. IAN's experimental films will concentrate on the fusion of video art and narrative film, pushing the boundaries between these two artistic genres and exploring further possibilities of experimental storytelling.
Sean Wang
August 15 to September 12, 2023
Sean Wang from Taiwan has constructed an "ideal studio" for himself at Three Shadows Xiamen. Through fictional and commissioned works, he provides everyone with the experience of artistic creation. He considers it a semi-open space where interactive discussions and exchanges about photography take place. This includes capturing the audience as artists, discussing the doubts of photography critics, and contemplating what art means with photography enthusiasts.
Iris Xing
May 15 to June 13, 2023
During the 30-day residency at Three Shadows Xiamen Photography Art Center, artist Iris Xing conducted a series of residency projects. These included opening her studio to the public, hosting studio exhibitions, creating handmade books, and organizing two art workshops focused on art therapy and sensory experiences.In the workshops, the audience expressed their emotions and projected their inner worlds through designing therapeutic balls. By tasting the flavors of emotions, they glimpsed the subtle and varied tastes often unnoticed in daily life. The resident artist combined the senses of taste and touch with art, creating a synesthetic world. During the studio open day, visitors engaged in discussions and also claimed objects with profound healing significance.
Codie Yan
February 22 to March 27, 2022
During her residency, the young artist Codie Yan has created series of performance pieces reacting to the shivering changes of the society. In a blink of justy one month, she immerses herself into the uncertainty and unflinchingly screams out a voice that is tender yet powerful.
Yunxuan Huang
The Hidden and Exposed in the Digital Age
January 3, 2022
Resident artist Huang Yunxuan shares her series of works that delve into themes related to post-humanism and digital nomads, and opens up her residency studio to allow the audience to enter her ongoing workspace, introducing the mixed media works she produced during her residency at Three Shadows Xiamen and her way of capturing the visual surplus to experience the subjective feelings in daily life. The photographs she created during her residency also reproduce reality but produce a slightly deviated feeling, showing the construction of " object " and the disappearance of human subjectivity in space.

In the two-day workshop, Kai shared his latest practice “water transfer printing” to the students, and led hands to introduce this new form of creation into their own photography.

EXPERIMENTAL WORK PERFORMANCE “OBEDIENCE”
August 20, 2018

In the three-hour work, the artist guided and recorded the participants’ exaggerated movements based on the distinctive architectural environment of Three Shadows and the natural landscape of the courtyard. Some of the source material for this semi-spontaneous work formed a part of Obedience, Iché’s Three Shadows residency project. This project has since been exhibited in Iché’s home country.

DEVIANT CIRCLE: PHOTOGRAPHS BY BRENDAN LINANE
October 15 to October 24, 2011
"The images are a selection of results from an on-going and deeply involved project. Using the photographic process to step into an accessible abstraction, ‘objects’ emerge from dark backgrounds as I enter an imaginary realm, an alternative perception of the world; an insightful dimension of darkness, colour and form. Extraneous elements are stripped away and the viewer is invited to relearn how to see and to appreciate what is, unfortunately, so often overlooked or undervalued. A primal energy in an overall cohesive visual effect, forming something that has a suggestive, slightly sinister, and almost human feeling to it, and is always derived from discovered or found sources on any urban roadside. These images are as much about what is outside the rectangle as what is within, and hopefully, will summon an intuitive reaction."
— Brendan Linane
Nirmala Karuppiah
CAPTURING THE TWILIGHT: A FILM BY NIRMALA KARUPPIAH
November 15, 2011
Nirmala Karuppiah presents a screening of her short art film, “Capturing Twilight”, at the Three Shadows Photography Art Centre in Beijing, China. The award-winning photographer explores and pays tribute to the ancient art of Chinese Opera. While Chinese Opera is still practiced in a contemporary context and forms an integral part of Malaysia's heritage, it is nonetheless an endangered performance art in Malaysia. Karuppiah’s film sheds light on the value of this tradition and the importance of preserving it.

THE MANIFESTATION OF THE 'SELF AND OTHER' IN PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY
July 10 1p.m.,2010
"I have accumulated photographs for many years and created a cache of images of all kinds of groups of people. Through the overlapping exposure of a large number of these negatives, I create special portrait images. Looking closely at the history of Japanese photography, we can see that, in addition to myself, Ken Ohara, Bishin Jumonji, and Keizo Kitajima have also devoted themselves to taking portraits and continuing to gaze intently at the existences of others. Lead by the vanguard of Yasumasa Morimura, a tradition of photographers who take self-portrait images has also been lovingly passed down to us.
In China, RongRong and inri collaborate as photographers, using us as a creative subject. There are very rich and deep possibilities for two people and family time and stories. I was very moved, far beyond my expectations, because this kind of photographer is not often seen in Japan. However, in the short time I have been in China, I have discovered that artists that see the world from the perspective of us are more numerous here than in Japan. I am under the impression that they are not restrained to photographic expression.
Participating Experts: Yu Hidaka (Guest Lecturer of Visual Culture at Gunma Prefectural Women's University, Japan), Yuri Mituda (Curator at the Shoto Museum of Art, Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan), Huang Rui (Artist, China), Tsai Meng (Photography Critic, China), Wu Jian'an (Artist, China), RongRong (Photographer, China), Ken Kitano (Photographer, Japan)
Sporsor: Polar Art Foundation, Japan Foundation
Ken Kitano
OUR FACE PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION
July 3, 2010 to August 20, 2010
In 1993, he became an independent photographer. In 1989 he began taking photographs, and in 1993, he held his first solo exhibition. Since then, his works have entered collections both inside and outside of Japan.
At first glance, the works of Japanese photographer Ken Kitano appeared to be images of single individuals, but were in fact composites of a group of images layered into a "meta-portrait." No digital technology was employed in creating his images, but rather a mastery of traditional darkroom techniques. Almost anthropological in nature, Kitano's photographs distilled our understanding of various groups and members of society into striking visual representation.
Nadine Stijns
PERSONAL PHOTO SCREENING AND PRESENTATION OF WORKS IN PROGRESS
May 29, 2010
Dutch artist Nadine Stijns will showed the work she has made during her three month residency at the Three Shadows Photography Art Centre.
While in China, Stijns became fascinated with the way the natural and the artificial mix in Chinese society from the standpoint of a Western eye. She photographed the newly created and Western inspired idyllic surroundings of luxury apartment blocks in Chaoyang District, the striking duality of twins in a country that still enforces the One Child Policy, and the eerie consumerism of covered stalls in Wangjing's mega-shopping malls after closing time. In each of these series, she examines the blurred demarcation line between the public and the private as well as the addition of some Western ideals that appear to have become prevalent in the construction of Chinese society. Nadine's work focuses on the small ordinary moments and objects that are part of daily life.
