> In recent years, the city of Shanghai has become an integral hub for
> Asia's burgeoning art and photography worlds. With a rich multicultural
> and cosmopolitan history that blends the East and West, Shanghai offers a
> unique portal into Chinese civilization that frames the city as the
> embodiment of China's future.
>
> This is the vibrant and exciting venue for The School of Visual Arts'
> Digital Photography Residency, a unique four week program headed by H-
> Asia member and SVA professor Abby Robinson that emphasizes the
> exploration of Shanghai and encourages the integration of Western and
> Eastern photographic practices. Participants engage with the Shanghai art
> community and have individual and group critiques, with the goal of seeing
> their world and their work from a more global perspective. Along with an
> intimate investigation of Shanghai's contemporary art world, there are
> individual portfolio reviews by prominent members of Shanghai's
> photography community that provide the opportunity to share ideas and
> network with curators and gallery owners as well as colleagues.
>
> The June 4-July 2 program offers the opportunity and freedom for
> participants to expand their body of work in a new and increasingly
> relevant context and gain a more profound understanding of art practices
> and photographic content, form, color, context, taste and limits.
> Shanghai's rich history, booming economy, worldwide artistic presence and
> interweaving of Western ideas with Chinese traditions, makes it the
> perfect city for an enlightening, productive and exciting summer
> experience.
>
> As SVA is an internationally accredited art school in New York City it
> is possible to receive 3 studio credits for this course. Prerequisites:
> One year of photography education and working knowledge of Adobe
> Photoshop.
> The deadline for applications: April 15, 2011.
