I have recently been accepted to attend a two month artist in residence program at "Red Gate Gallery" in Beijing, China.

In this time I aim to explore Beijing and the Chinese countryside and am hoping to spend a week in South Korea. 

I plan on immersing myself in the Chinese art scene and culture and will gather reference material through photography, journalling and film and also plan on taking lessons in Calligraphy.

Through my experience at Red Gate I plan on creating an artists book to send to supporters so that I can share my experience.

Any funds raised will go towards meeting the costs involved in undertaking the residency, Usually artists undertake residencies with the financial support of Grants or Scholarships however I am self funding.

Any support will be hugely appreciated.

My thanks,

Ben Kenning
