We are excited to present the third invited artist for Absolute Space AIR 2024: Diane Chéry from France. In between visual arts, textiles and performative arts, Diane Chéry creates a world where paintings become alives. From invisible to visible, transformations and appearances, her performances leads the audience through a contemplative experience, an awakening state of colors. We sincerely invite you to join the artist's talk and welcome reception.

The event will take place at "SanHo Art Lab," so please be sure not to go to the wrong location!

【Welcome Party】
After the panel, we will have a welcome party, where each person brings a dish. We hope our friends from Tainan will join us!
