Field Research
Back in Chongqing China for an artist in residence at OrganHaus, supported by the Netherlands Embassy in Beijing. Thanks for that!
OrganHaus is an art space that first was in the centre of Chongqing but now moved to the town Beibei 30 km north of the city. Also many other artists are moving here and settle in an old glass factory converting to awesome large studios. I’m impressed.
Beibei is called a village, but 800.000 people are living here. Looking forward to discover more of the surrounding to develop my new project.
‘By delving into urban typology, transportation and trade, Frank Havermans will explore and create a compelling narrative that captures the essence of urban life, connectivity, and transformation. Through visual storytelling and artistic interpretation, the project can invite viewers to contemplate the complexity and beauty of urban landscapes shaped by human endeavor and interaction.’
