Until November 15: Hinterland Project
The Hinterland Project differs from most solo exhibitions in that it is a collection of nearly ten projects in numerous cities from curator Shi Qing and his collaboration with other talents. Single exhibitions, such as ‘Bus Line and Interior River Courier Service’ will be on display in seven cities throughout China. Together with the other projects, it will form a logical structure that represents the existing mechanisms of art – from exhibitions to residences and from commercial galleries to public art institutions – which are all mixed together in daily practice.

As a child, Japanese artist Fumiko Toda often escaped to a nearby pond to observe insects and bugs for hours. These tiny creatures eventually worked their way into her paintings, where they remain to this day. After studying at the Sugii Art Institution in Mie, Toda graduated from Kyoto University of Art and Design in 2000. In 2002, she moved to New York City, where she studied printmaking at the National Academy of Fine Arts. Today, Toda moves seamlessly between the realms of painting and printmaking and has exhibited her work extensively.
