Lisa Tagesson is a Swedish artist, she visited TCG Nordica(Kunming,China) from 2008.June.1 to Aug.31.
Here is the introduction from artist self about what her works about and what she has done in Kunming.

I work with creating my own fabrics as well as with manipulating existing fabrics. I am interested in the integration of fabrics, the body and clothing. I create my own methods, using stitching to shape the fabric so that it has a special relationship to the body.

Important aspects in my work are craft work, knowledge of traditional techniques of costume-making and the Swedish tradition with connections to other countries. In my three month residencestudio at TCG Nordica, I worked with patterns made by pleating and folding techniques together with hand stitches and embroidery. I found a lot of inspiration in the textiles from Yunnan ethnic minorities.

I took part in Ms. Shasha’s project OVOP (One village one project) and hold a one day self portrait workshop with free embroidery.

Mark Wilson had been playing guitar since the age of 13. In High School, after taking Music Theory classes, he taught himself piano, drums and bass guitar. Throughout his adult life he has played in front of crowds, as many as 500 people. Mostly in church settings, he has led music but also many times would improvise and just start playing his own guitar instrumentals to the enjoyment of hundreds. He is often encouraged to record his music. He hopes to in the near future. Please come and enjoy his improvisational style.
