Artist Funa Ye launched an art project–Exhibitionist: Nail Project. Nail, treated as a special limited exhibition space in Nail Project, plays the same roles as galleries, art museums and other contemporary art exhibition space and institutions presents do, for example, curating, exhibiting, selling, broadcasting, residency and publication education and so on, which blurs the boundary between daily life and art exhibition.
Now Funa Ye presents a part of her Nail Project– Nail Residency– into MoCA Pavilion. Artists, curators and manicurists will be divided into three groups to accomplish this project and the involved fields include interactive media, network art and network platform, painting, curating panel, performing arts, manicure products and so on. The experience, discussion, research and practice people get from Nail Residency will deepen their understanding about the special space and medium. During the residency, the artists will present a series of workshops, lectures, exhibitions and performance open to the public.
Since its launch in September 2014, Nail Project calls for curating proposals on “nail” this special space. Nail Project and some participants will carry out these proposals and present them in Micro Message Public Platform. At the same time, many offline activities will be held to make “nail exhibition space” happened on everybody’s nails.
