Jason Cordero, Painter, Australia
I am an Australian painter who has focused predominantly on landscape with a particular interest in the sublime. Of late I have produced works which are not portraits of place but consider the concepts of wilderness and narrative. Using traditional and digital media and I aim to explore the sublime of a built environment; as an ancient and contemporary capital, Beijing promises to be an absorbing subject.
John Domont, Painter, Photographer, Poet, United States
I am from the American Midwest, Indianapolis, Indiana. As a artist I have traveled around the world in pursuit of beauty and human dignity. My art is about presence and place.
I spend my days painting, photographing, writing poetry. I feel that my artworks reflect the moments, places, and guideposts of a human journey – a journey with art, in which I include themes, ideas and realities common to all humanity and the beauty of our time and place.

Raphaela Melsohn, Multidisciplinary, Brazil
I'm a Brazilian artist and my project during the residency consists in developing and investigating ways of communicating by drawing. Based on the structure of Chinese ideogram I want to do performances in which the drawing acts as media for translating myself on chosen situations.
In a country that I barely speak the language, being a foreign, displaced, I understand that I have to develop another way of thinking and also communicating. I usually work with different medias, according to what my research and work demand.
Anja Ronacher, Photography, Austria
