Charlotte from QinTheory 秦 論 Studio is in residence at
Foound for 6 months! The Chinese-Canadian artist was chosen by the jury composed of
Rodrigue/
razaart (resident artist at Foound), Natalia Comandari (graduate of
HEAD - Geneva, Haute école d'art et de design and responsible for the
Picto residency in Geneva), Fanny Arnaudo (founder of Foound) and Mélina Duret (cultural project manager at Foound).
Her work on water is a real immersion in her aquatic universe and her spiritual practice. It acts both as an engine of emotional healing and a work of reconnection with her roots. Through her art, she carries a message of hope and light, both about our future and our humanity. Her words, "During the art residency, I hope that my studio will remain an open space for anyone who wants to join me in using art as a way to connect to themselves and their emotions."
Since 2020, a network of professionals working in environmental policy and water governance has gravitated towards Charlotte's work on Water that provokes profound emotions in humans towards the natural world. During the art residency, QinTheory Studio continues to build a local community in Geneva at the intersection of Art, Science, Policy that aspires to shape
Water Consciousness worldwide. Meanwhile, Foound will be hosting a series of artistic events on Water Issues this spring, followed by the final exhibition of Charlotte Qin’s residency.
