Summer Sessions 2013 selection

An overwhelming number of early-career artists submitted a project proposal in response to the Summer Sessions 2013 call. Three artists based in The Netherlands were selected by V2_Lab to develop their projects at one of the Summer Session partner labs abroad: 

• Johannes Langkamp will develop his work at the new Chronus Art Center in Shanghai.
• Roel Roscam Abbing will be artist in residence at LABoral, Spain to create his project Border Check.
• Oskar Maan will travel to the Canadian Film Centre in Toronto to do a pre-post-Apocalyptic Archaeological Research Project that will result in a documentary.

Furthermore, Baltan Lab colaborates with V2_ to send emerging artist Živa Pikaja to Harvard University's Church Lab to do a Summer Session under the supervision of professor Joe Davis.

This does however not mean that the V2_Lab will be empty this summer, as no less than five emerging artists will come to Rotterdam this summer to develop their Summer Session projects at the V2_Lab:

• Cecilia Jonsson, Norway, A hypothesis of a geo-magnetic pull, sponsored by PNEK (Production Network for Electronic Art).
• Chin-Hsiang Hu, Taiwan, Neuromancer, sponsored by the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts.
• Leif Parker, Canada, Endless (The Automation of Torment), sponsored by the Canadian Film Centre.
• Ou-Bau Tsai, Taiwan, also sponsored by the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts.
• Weiyi Hu, China, sponsored by Chronus Art Center, Shanghai.
