4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art presents the works of three Australian artists as part of the inaugural Longli International New Media Arts Festival in Longli Ancient Town, China, in early October 2016.


Three Sydney-based artists of Chinese heritage have been selected for participation by 4A: Chun Yin Rainbow Chan, Sydney-based singer, producer and performance artist whose works investigate translation, diaspora and the fluid relationship between original and copy; Owen Leong, a contemporary artist exploring the transmission of culture and the body as a physical site of exchange; and Kynan Tan, a Perth-born, Sydney-based artist interested in networks, relationality and digital systems of control.Accompanied to the Festival by 4A Program Manager Pedro de Almeida, the three artists will respond to the Festivals theme Metabolism with a series of media works, to be installed within an ancient temple. Longli International New Media Arts Festival is supported by the China Culture Industrial Investment Fund, and focuses focused on the integration of regional culture with the folk culture of Longli, to make artistic works strike a chord with the Ancient City of Longli in various new ways. Longli International New Media Arts Festival runs from 1 - 5 October, 2016.
